Sirken, let me see if I understand your points here:
1. You like Obama because he spends money on things you like, like americans with disabilities or or military families to go visit their loved ones. Well, those are called special interest groups. We have another, more obnoxious special interest group: its called the bankers. And Obama/Bernanke together gave them 14 trillion dollars which went directly to bank bonuses for the 0.1%. Gee that seems like about 1000 times more than he gave your guys. I thought Obama was for the little guy . . .
2. You like Obama because he looks out for women and minorities. Guess what: women and minorities are doing fine on their own. Hanna Rosin had an article a full two years ago about how women get 60% of college degrees and are going to be a majority in the workforce soon - she called it the End of Men. The old canard about women making 70 cents for every dollar a man makes has been debunked numerous times: women work fewer hours, take more vacation, dont go into STEM fields as much. I should also mention that Sotomayor is a huge racist: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life" If a white male had said that about her, he would have been crucified by CNN.
3. You like Obama because he put legislation in place to control the banks. Aside from the facts that he gave them 14 trillion and that Clinton, a Democrat, was the one who repealed Glass-Steagall, what do you think about the robosigning scandal, where Obama's DOJ let the banks off with a slap on the wrist after they fraudulently foreclosed on millions of Americans with fake documents?
4. You like Obama because he 'promotes social responsibility', but how about civil rights. Do you have any comments on Obama and the NDAA?
I think I'm going to leave the final comment to Alexander Fraser Tytler: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy..."
