Default Obama is the perfect example of why I don't like following politics.

I'm bored, so I wanted to make a list of things we voted for:

1. Escalated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
2. Less gun restrictions
3. Right-wing healthcare reform that extends no government programs, and only benifits the private industry.
4. An extension of the Patriot Act
5. Campaign finance reform that benifits the rich more
6. No Justice for Bush/Cheney breaking international laws
7. No fight against companies that evade tax laws
8. No tax cuts for the middle class
9. Great speeches

10. Increased Spending - (Everyone who actually looks into it knows that 1.2 trillion of the deficit was created by failed policies under republican leadership. But Obama didn't help.)

So anyway, moral of the story is... no matter who you vote for, you'll get the same BS. The system in this country is very broken.

The only thing I can give Obama credit for now, is the same thing I bashed at #1.. he's definently made more progress then the last year in the Afghan war then bush made in his last 5 years.. but we're still just wasting even more money on a war without clear objectives.

Thoughts?
