    Another hack politician

    Obama proved to me today that he is nothing out of the ordinary. A complete hack, already corrupted by beltway politics, willing to compromise any principle to win. Although I am a Democrat and despise the Republicans with a loathing I normally reserve for seal-clubbers and vampires, Obama has, by supporting this anti-American-values, awful bill, lost my vote.
