Don't like getting spied on? ODS.
Think the TPCC is going to be bad for America? ODS.
Don't want the tar sands pipeline? ODS.
There's a group of people here who's love of Obama is, essentially, faith. The symbol they have, with the Obama campaign symbol and the dove above it has some heavily religious overtones, which explains why, when anybody disagrees with anything Omaba does, they blame it on ODS. Unfortunately, just like having faith in a religion causes one to accept and justify all sorts of really messed up thing, like priests abusing children, having faith in a politician or party leads this group to support policies that are just nasty.
Furthermore, arguing with people of faith by using facts and logical arguments will get you nowhere. It generally takes something really big to shake people's faith, and if drone-based assassination and domestic spying don't do it, I don't know what will.
