Bush -- that little pea-brain twit -- at least did one thing right ... he just fucking DID whatever crazy foolish thing he wanted to do, and used the WH to do it all over the rest of us. So then by comparison Obama, like ... came into office almost asking permission to actually BE president .. once elected. Meanwhile he was enlisting all the Wall St. crooks who everyone knows are crooks, to "steer his economic policy" ... please.
I did NOT vote for ReThuglican-Lite, I voted for real honest to goodness progressive change, from a constitutional law expert, and what I got was more endless ME wars, more pot busts in violation of state laws, and now more "indedinite detensions" of US Citizens by the US MIlitary on US soil, in direct violation of Posse Comitatus and the US Constitution.
Obama gets a fail from me, sorry.
I'll vote for him, but not happily.
And I'm not donating money or working on his campaign..
just too much betrayal on his part to warrant that.
I'm putting my organizing time, resources and energy
into the Occupy movement, where I KNOW what I get
in return, and I sleep better nights to boot.
