23. "Obama and his sycophants".

That says so much more about you and your "strong reservations".

Which is why I have my "reservations" about this statement, and makes me wonder why you would bother?

"I will vote for and work for Obama, but I have strong reservations about him -- especially when it comes to human rights including privacy rights."

Which legislation would you have used "veto powers" where the president hasn't? I'm assuming if he didn't use his "veto powers", he agreed, and therefore signed the legislation, right?

"Obama has very, very rarely used his veto powers......."

Your quibble, it seems to me, is much more based on the president's style rather than substance. You seemingly want a pitbull, frothing at the mouth. That's never going to be Pres. Obama, it's not his style. Place the blame for the current situation at the feet of the independents and the "disillusioned" who allowed circus freaks to take over the US Congress.
