I'm already voting for Gary Johnson at this point, but let's call a spade a spade.
If government takeover of industry was in Obama's crosshairs, it would have happened by now. Given the economic climate when he took office along with Dems running the show from top to bottom, he could have gotten away with damn near anything he wanted. That didn't happen, we aren't any more "socialist" now than we were then, and saying otherwise is tin-foil-helmeted idiocy.
What Obama has done has been to perfectly follow the legacy of the Bush administration. His rhetoric counts for nothing, look at what he's actually done. The military continues to expand while civil liberties continue to decrease. Allowing gay people to openly serve is great and all, but it's window dressing.
As for gun stuff, stop that nonsense. Every major group I know of that lobbies for stronger regulation on firearms has given the Obama administration a failing grade, and most of them are not giving him their support this go-around. Unfortunately we've got that moron Wayne LaPierre out there telling the world that voting Republican is the only way for people to keep their guns.
Obama sucks. But most of the criticism leveled against him on this board is meaningless, nonsensical rhetoric.
