Things President Obama needs to stop doing if he wants me to vote for him again.
I do wish our President would stop being an asshat.</p>
I voted for the man. I caucused for him too. I even went to the Whitman County Democrats and cold-called for him.
But if he continues to do as he is doing, he won’t get more support from me.
Things that I find unacceptable, many of which I find even more unacceptable because it’s the kind of shit I expect from Republicans, but expected better from him:
- More stupid copyright shit, which prevents consumers from using Stuff they have purchased in ways they, as customers, feel is appropriate
- Obama has continued to support the current banking system, propping up companies that are too big to fail, rather than encouraging real reform that would break them up into smaller companies that make the entire economy more stable.
- Obama’s Justice department is refusing to prosecute the illegal acts of the previous administration, even going so far as to protect them from 3rd-party prosecution.
- Obama’s Justice department is promoting sovereign immunity in cases where the government deliberately and knowingly framed an innocent man. Yeah, I’m really fucking happy that my President is supporting the idea that “you can’t sue the government when they fuck your life.” It’s like the fucking Bush Administration never ended.
- Obama continues to erode transparent and honest government by reducing the effectiveness of the Freedom of Information Act.
The worst part of all this: there’s never going to be anybody that will fucking fix this shit. Power corrupts.
