First, this thread has been done to death:

Second, as much as you can blame Obama, the supreme court made the bloody ruling, and sort of a constitutional amendment, they designed the rules. If Obama decided to bring a hockey mask to a fottball game, he would get crushed, but of course, that would not stop the GOP administration from acting like they had a mandate from a blue eyed blonded Jesus! We tried that before, remember Nader?

I hate to rub it in, but to all the people that voted nader, and told us that there was no reali difference, well, you have it, and they are on the supreme court, making sure that anyone that does not get as dirty is going in unarmed against an army of snipers. Elections mattter, the one in 200 did, and so did 2010, where a bunch of holier than thou people gladly let the GOP run buckwild because Obama did not fit their liking.
