0.) Dude, wrong tax cut: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/19/us/politics/19taxes.html. You'll laugh when you read the article, you're way off base here.

1.) Agreed.

2.) Agreed.

3.) Agreed.

4.) Strongly agreed.

5.) Disagree. Marriage is not a governmental institution and needs to be removed from our legislation and legal code in favor of civil unions.

6.) Strongly disagree. Sorry, how did he "let" that happen? Obama doesn't control Congress. He got the hard work done by, I don't know, negotiating with the Russia and writing the damn thing?!

7.) Agreed.

8.) I recognize what you're saying here, but to not support what Obama has done on DADT based on this feels like a stretch.

I'm not saying Obama has accomplished everything (my comment actually says the opposite and expresses displeasure in some parts of the job he has done). But do note that I was responding to someone who thought Obama was 100% rhetoric and no backbone, which empirically is not true. Also, I hope you realize that young people have thought the nation would be taken over by "young progressives for a more enlightened country" since the begininning of this nation. You do realize the people in power now grew up in the 60s, perhaps one of the most left-leaning decades this nation has seen?
