These people believe that if they would just vote for the right guy then we would enter left-wing Nirvana. Of course, my son on the right believes the same thing about the Republicans.
After a few more decades it will dawn on them that they are full of it!
But the Romans, especially old Cicero, was of the same mind. He was strangled for his credulity.
Any ways, why would any president with 15 security agencies sworn to serve him and 737 military bases in about 120 countries or so have to pay attention to these gnats. He has enough fire power in one, repeat one, aircraft carrier task force (he has 12) to take out any country on the planet.
He can commit a felony in front of us on TV and still keep his job and make millions after he retires with impunity. (right Bill?)
And today he can arrest Americans and put them in prison with a charge terrorism and lock them away forever without lawyer or trial.
But Empires are always on the world scene and as long as the average guy can eat and pay his bills it will continue because we ain't pissed enough. And that's the bottom line with these guys........ Not to be murdered!
Because what else does the frustrated among us have against real and imagined tyranny?
And today everybody worries that we won't get to keep our 10$ a week Oba mama tax cut when they gave millions to their cronies on Wall Street.
But not to worry. The left will all turn in lockstep and vote for him again.
YES, THEY WILL!

The Zenith of Civil Libertarian Anger at President Obama - Atlantic Mobile
On the eve of 2012, President Obama is facing a backlash from civil libertarians that is more widespread and intense than anything he's yet seen. He has previously been subject to complaints about his war on whistleblowers, the humanitarian and strategic costs of his drone war, the illegality of the war he waged in Libya, his use of the state secrets privilege, his defense of Bush-era warrantless wiretapping, and his assertion of the power to kill American citizens accused of terrorism. But news that Obama plans to sign rather than veto a bill enshrining indefinite detention into U.S. law and failing to exempt American citizens is provoking unprecedented ire.
The significance of the backlash is perhaps best understood by looking at what people and organizations who supported Obama's 2008 bid for the presidency are saying about his actions now. The head of the ACLU's legislative office insisted that Obama is poised to damage "both his legacy and American's reputation for upholding the rule of law," and noted that "the last time Congress passed indefinite detention legislation was during the McCarthy era."
Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch says that "By signing this defense spending bill, President Obama will go down in history as the president who enshrined indefinite detention without trial in US law." Says the New York Times editorial board: "Mr. Obama refused to entertain any investigation of the abuses of power under his predecessor, and he has been far too willing to adopt Mr. Bush's extravagant claims of national secrets to prevent any courthouse accountability for those abuses. This week, he is poised to sign into law terrible new measures that will make indefinite detention and military trials a permanent part of American law. This is a complete political cave-in, one that reinforces the impression of a fumbling presidency."
