Anyone who doubts that just has to look at his supreme court appointments compared to what the pubs gave us. Every single pub voted for the Citiznes United decision, but neither of Obama's appointees did. The Citizens United Decision undermines our democracy. - koan Agreed. If you can answer the question: "if Obama is so bad why did he appoint two moderates to the supreme court", then I will listen to you. We all will. If you can not answer that question, then you have to face the fact you are wrong. There are at least three things make no sense in your statement above: * First, I don't think Obama is bad because of his Supreme Court Justice appointments. * Second, most on this thread who have followed me know that I am a social liberal. I have no problem with gay marriage, agree with birth control to be included in Obamacare, am glad Obama is doing something about the Environment and renewable energy, and agree with many other liberal policies including progressive taxation. * Third, Obama's Supreme Court Justice appointments have zero relevance to any of the assertions I've made on this thread about Obama's complete dereliction of duty to Execute the laws of this country and to protect the Constitution. I am FOR the Rule of Law first and foremost and Obama apparently picks and chooses which laws he'll enforce. In addition, I am a fiscal and monetary conservative, which is one of the key things I have nothing in common with Obama on and why I spend a lot of time on the issues around fiscal and monetary policy. So your attempt to link Obama and his SC appointments to my discourse around fiscal and monetary policy really makes no sense at all. Must have been a brain fart on your part. ;)
