Have you been in a coma for 4 years? Have you not been keeping up?

Obama may be even worse than George Bush on civil liberties: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/dec/...

Even the thought is terrifying.

Apparently more terrifying to you than 2 wars in the Middle East and a global financial meltdown.

Put aside the fact that pretty much the entire U.S. political spectrum and most of the European one supported the first war, a majority of the former (including the 2004 Democratic candidate for President) supported the second...

Can you please explain in brief how George W. Bush was instrumental in causing a global financial meltdown? Which bills from the overwhelmingly Democratic Congress in 2007 did he veto that would have stopped it?

[winsmart]

Yes, a government that betrays the very people it promised to protect and serve is even more terrifying.

Obama has proven to be untrustworthy and an enemy to your civil liberties, and yet you want to go another round?

That's what I call a "sucker for punishment".
