Justice, Obama Style

It's been an interesting Presidency from a civil rights standpoint under Obama. His Justice department has been politically driven in ways that President Bush never even tried. They dropped a case they'd basically won against Black Panthers intimidating white voters. They defended the Defense of Marriage Act, unnecessarily and in ways that go far beyond anything President Bush tried. He's fired an Inspector General, in violation of the proper procedure, who was investigating misuse of funds by one of his big supporters and Mayor of Sacramento.

So apparently corruption and voter intimidation are okay while gay marriage is not. I'm so glad Obama was elected President. He sure has ushered in a new era of transparency and is undoing all of the bad things that happened under President Bush.
