IMO your attacks on Obama are unfair and simplistic. Just who else would have made better decisions and had a chance of being elected? It's easy to agree with many of your sentiments but there are issues of complexity and practicality - at some point you have to go with character and ability to make difficult decisions with the best (not perfect) information. Destroying imperfect friends allows enemies in - something many of the liberal-minded still have to learn it appears.
