Why are people attacking Obama lately from the left?

62. Some issues are more important than the current office holder

For example: I've been opposed to military trials, killing American citizens without trial and conviction for a crime, the CIA conducting operations within the borders of the US, the widespread violation of habeas corpus, the continued spying and harassment of anti-war groups, and the expanding use of material support of terrorists to criminalize opposition to US foreign policy.

I belong to, and support, several civil liberties groups that work on these and similar issues. The work continues as long as necessary. It doesn't matter who holds the office. As long as there continues to be gross violations of civil and human rights I will continue to oppose those who are in charge of these policies.

If you perceive the work of those people and groups who support civil liberties to be attacking Obama from the left so be it.
