Showing Original Post only (View all)Give me one good reason to vote for Obama this November [View all]
I get the Supreme Court picks and that Republicans are evil. But what will he actually do that a liberal would care about? Will he change or will it be four more years of a seething dislike for liberals? I would honestly like to know.
I have no doubt that he'll be reelected, but does he want to go down as a present day FDR or as a pretty good DLC Dem?
