My personal hope is that this takes down his presidency and cripples him for the next three years.

I'm not going far enough to say that I regret voting for Obama, but I'm definitely leaning that way. If Romney would've campaigned in such a way that I would have believed he would run the Presidency like he ran his governorship, I likely would've voted for him. But unfortunately "severely conservative" became his motto, and none of us disillusioned 08 Obama voters felt like we had much choice. American politics are a shame.

Funny, Romney looked like a Mass liberal to me. And to most of my libertarian friends he looked like a big gov't centrist.

Elephant, blind men, etc.

Haha. Perspective and expectation shape the way we see the world. Obviously we saw the same debates, the same adds, the same speeches. I guess that's why he never had a chance from the beginning; everyone had preconceived, negative feelings about him.

And Obama was the unexamined blank canvas.

Maybe this means that HRH really can't be president. OTOH, if we had a female president that is another LARGE group of people I never have to listen complain about "lack of access to power" again. And it might be the final nail in the affirmative action coffin lid.

I can dream.

No, I think you'll get your wish on that this summer when the Court rules on the University of Texas case.
