Barack Obama Promised A New Kind Of Politics, But Played The Same Old Game

Obama has expanded Bush's wars and signed on to Cheney's 'Long War'.  The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue, with mercenaries paid for with US taxpayer dollars.  Nothing has changed.  

Your gay friends can serve in the military because of Congress, not Obama.  As a matter of fact, Obama could have facilitated the ending of DADT with an executive order re: Stop-Loss, but didn't.  As a result, many gays, career military, were discharged in spite of DADT's imminent end.  

Hate crimes legislation and overdraft fees?  Are ya kidding?  Despite the media campaign, hate crimes legislation is not a universally embraced idea among Democratic voters.  It's an issue where liberals and conservatives find common ground - The idea of one group of Americans warranting special treatment over other groups is offensive.  It's a slippery slope law, a thought crime.  Is the murder of a gay person worse than the murder of a child or a woman, or an Episcopalian?  

And the finance reform bill, which was supposed to prevent economic collapses like the one we're suffering, won't prevent anything.  Not charging for overdrafts is the least we could hope Congress could do for us, but it isn't stopping banks from foreclosing or slicing and dicing and repackaging and reselling loans of all kinds.

We're doomed, and voters like you are the reason.
