12. here are some of the agendas we thought we were supporting back in 2008

-Ending foreign wars that kill innocent people
-Restoring the rule of law and prosecuting criminals
-Affordable Health Care for all
-Environmental protection
-Protection of our liberties (after all Obama was a law professor right?)

what we got were

-Expanded war in Afghan, Libya, and other African nations. Withdrawal from Iraq is commendable but the military presence was replaced by private contractors. Looming war with Syria and Iran.
-Obama appointed corporate cronies from his top contributors to key federal positions. Neither criminals from the Bush admin nor corporate criminals have been prosecuted.
-Americans will be legally required to buy corporate health insurance and rates will skyrocket.
-Despite posturing, Obama caved on Keystone. Environmental protection is no better now then it was under Bush.
-The NDAA finishes off the Bill of Rights. It was passed just in time to frighten the OWS movement and other justice movements internationally.

This is the reality. I agree that Obama is a lesser evil compared to Romney but there is also the counter-argument that Obama is also more EFFECTIVE evil. He is more effective evil because the liberals who would oppose these policies remain silent.
