It was not Republican obstructionism that forced Obama to conduct drone warfare on a massive scale, expand the surveillance state and conduct mass deportations of undocumented people. It was not because of the Republicans that he let Wall St off scot free from their crimes in the financial crisis. Try defending these instead of constructing silly straw-men. Obama did these things ultimately because he wanted to. And that is the actual reason Obama sucks. Not because he failed to bring socialism. -raghu.
