137. Gee. Obama's actions are anti-Constitutional and I have a real problem with that.

If you are worried about people alienating voters for the Democratic party, look no further than Obama, who is not a Democrat at all.

If you've been paying attention to what is actually posted on DU from reputable sources, instead of ignoring anything which counters your belief in Obama. An attitude such as that would also be significantly alienating to people who might otherwise vote Democratic. But no, they ignore or attack anything "against" Obama. Exactly how is that supposed to attract voters?

AND HAVE YOU READ ANYTHING HERE TO WHICH I REFER AND WHICH IS EASILY SEARCHABLE? Try the "DHS hunch 100 miles" search to learn about one aspect of the death of the 4th Amendment on Obama's watch.
