19. Obama's failure to have DOJ reopen a full-blown Siegelman investigation stinks to high heaven

He didn't even TRY to do anything. In fact what Obama did was worse than nothing, he actively looked the other way while an honorable & innocent fellow Democrat rots in prison due to the dirty dealings of Bush The Lesser's bag-men.

In my book this is one of Obama's most egregious failures.
