Part of the Obama agenda.
See if Obama is doing, or proposing 800 good things and 200 bad things, then maybe we want to support him in order to advance those 800 good things. Whereas if Bush is doing 17 good things and 983 bad things, then maybe we want to oppose him in order to stop a whole lot of those bad things.
YOUR pet issue may be the NSA and Snowden mania. It was NEVER mine. NOT when Bush was President and not now either.
And maybe because YOUR hair is on fire about Snowden and the NSA, you think that makes me a terrible, stupid, foolish person who is destroying democracy because mine is not.
Well, in three years when we are both in FEMA camps, you can have the satisfaction of saying "I told you so".
Me, on the other hand. Well, this faith in the imminent return of fascism is a little bit like the faith in the return of Jesus. Either way, by 2020 if neither Jesus nor fascism has arrived, the true believers will not ever admit they were wrong. Instead they will warn "it's gonna happen, just you wait".
2025 "it's gonna happen, just you wait"
2030 "it's gonna happen, just you wait"
