I strongly support President Obama

[bvar22]

156. I support President Obama and the Democratic party too.

However, I STRONGLY OPPOSE these issues:

*More Union Busting American Job Killing, Wage depressing "Free Trade"

*Mandates to BUY Health Insurance from For Profit Corporations without a Public Option

*Cosigning, adopting, and expanding Supra-Constitutional Powers of the Unitary Executive founded under Bush

*Resigning and giving a Democratic Party endorsement to The Patriot Act, and the very troubling hints we are now getting about a "Secret" Patriot Act

*The Executive Powers claimed under the NDAA

*Expanding the Drone Assassination Program to nations beyond Iraq and Afghanistan

*Spying on American Citizens without Probable Cause

*Amassing and Collating Personal Data Files on American Citizens without probable Cause

*Failure to hold Bush War Criminals and War Profiteers Accountable

*Giving a Free Pass to Wall Street Criminals

*Refusing to include members from the Progressive Caucus on his "Team of Rivals".

*Offering cuts to Social Security

*the somewhat Less than aggressive policy on protecting the Environment

*Forgetting that Raising the CAP on FICA deductions in was a Campaign Issue in 2008

*Forgetting that making EFCA "The Law of the Land" was a Campaign Issue in 2008

*Forgetting implementing Country of Origin labeling and GM labeling of our foods was a Campaign Issue in 2008

*Putting Monsanto Lobbyists and Lawyers Lawyers in charge of our USDA and FDA
without a counter balance from the Healthy Food and Sustainable Farming movements

*Rescuing DINO Blanche Lincoln's Failing Democratic Primary Campaign 2010 against a popular Pro-LABOR/Pro-HealthCare Democrat with a Last Minute Oval Office Endorsement,
and then taunting and ridiculing Organized LABOR and the Grass Roots for their efforts
to give Obama Progressive Democrats in Congress that wouldn't obstruct his agenda.

*Appointing Conservatives and Republicans to positions of POWER when there ARE Good Progressive Democrats well qualified for those jobs.

*Wasting all that Dry Powder "Standing By" people like General Clapper and Eric Holder while throwing good Democrats (like Shirley Sherrod, Van Jones,...), and Liberal Organizations (like ACORN) to the wolves.


...but aside from those few issues,
I'm pretty supportive President Obama.
