  Given that civil liberties were such a big part of his 2008 campaign, the best case scenario you describe is still a bit of a problem. I'm actually pretty angry at him right now. I donated a lot to his campaign in 2008 based on his focus on civil liberties, and he has only escalated everything I disliked about Bush. (And yes, I realize he made some questionable votes in the Senate before the 2008 election. I told myself it was what he had to do to get elected. By the 2012 election I had wised up and voted third party.)

  A core principle of politics is that you're responsible for everything that happens on your watch. If you don't believe that, go listen to the past 40 years of broadcasted debates, and count the number of things that the opponent didn't personally do but was called to account for.

  I swear, it's like nobody ever read the USA PATRIOT act, even though its been law for 12 years. Obama's fault? For what, following the laws that Congress passed?
