<<The fact that O never saw an abuse committed by Bush that he didn't approve of himself?>> Obama did not appoint Scalia's to the bench. That is of paramount importance. In fact the two people he did appoint are sane and intelligent. More moderate than I would haveliked, but sane. The supreme court as of right now is in the hands of the corporations. I think you are underestimating The Citizens United decision. Negative campaigning works. Bush sr used Wille Horton and little bush used the swiftboater ads funded by T Boone Pickens and was the same group that did O'donnells ad: "I am not a witch. Both cases were bullshit but won the election. Now imagine, not millions, but billions of dollars from corporations all over the world buying congress and legislatures. The law allows these funds to hidden. It is so dangerous, as Americans seem unable to see through bullshit negative advertising. The funding will be massive. If we do not get Citizens United overturned we are in big trouble and long on our way to an Orwelian society. Fact: The Republican will nominate someone to the supreme court who will support Citizens United and Obama will not. Simple as that. You are thinkng much to small and not targeting the problem. The survival of our democracy from a corporate takeover.
