yup You have the ole' satisfaction of saying "no" to both. That wouldn't console me much if I'd been one of the dems who helped get the Shrub in. So far Obama has started no new wars. That's not something I think we could have said about the Mitten, if he'd been elected. On top of that, we have one new Supreme Court pick for the liberal side. There are plenty of positive reasons to like Obama. I just don't see the point in listing them for you. You can look them up for yourself, if you're open minded. And if you're not, there's no point. So I just responded to your lesser of two evils post. The lesser of two evils is still the lesser evil. Telling everyone your abstaining because you cannot appreciate the nuance between evils is even less of an argument than arguing for the lesser evil. I actually appreciate many of the things Obama has done- especially with the judiciary and with the government agencies. And to choose to die rather than lose a foot is nuts. Which just goes to show there are nuts in the world. I wouldn't hold them up as a model of good judgement. But that's me.
