Add that to the fact that Obama has proven to be a disaster and is as disingenuous as they come, and I'm left with absolutely no consolation with such a move. He just codified into law the ability for a President to indefinitely militarily detain American citizens on the mere accusation of being an "associate force" to "terrorism." And I'm supposed to believe he cares about people's rights on the internet? Not a chance.

Obama is bad, but
any GOP candidate? Many have proven to be just as bad. For example, would you want the fear-drive, theologian nutcase Santorum who would readily bomb Iran on a whim as a President? The problems America faces are bigger than "my team" being able to fix the country, as has been illustrated deftly over the past decade. In fact, the "my team" mentality is precisely one of the premier problems.
