45.  I voted for obama only because I had to, because the real "people's president" was marginalized
and ridiculed. Kucinich was my choice, but Obama and Clinton were who we had to vote for, both sides of the same coin. I came grudgingly and kicking and screaming but voted for Obama in the primaries and in the GE. But he lost my support a while back because of his idiotic cabinet picks (with nary a progressive--the ones who worked to get him elected--but plenty of RW assholes like Gregg), pandering and caving to repukes, ramping up of "faith-based" bullshit, refusal to eliminate renditions, kicking bushco's war crimes and treason under the rug with the pretense of "looking forward," maintaining bushco's position in "trials" of Gitmo prisoners, retention of a majority of bushco attorneys in the justice dept., and willing participation in the great handover of the people's money to the Wall St. robbers.

I'm tired of writing him angry letters. He is either very badly advised, totally naive, or very well paid for his complicity in war crimes and plunder.

OBAMA IS A TROJAN HORSE.
