As someone who looks for pro-liberty positions in candidates I figured Obama'd be a lock for improving our drug laws. The GOP preaches family values but jails young black men like crazy making sure nuclear families don't develop. Well Obama is apparently just a little worse than Bush.
Back when he was running for president in 2008, Barack Obama insisted that medical marijuana was an issue best left to state and local governments. "I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue," he vowed, promising an end to the Bush administration's high-profile raids on providers of medical pot, which is legal in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Nope.

I think this line's mostly filler.

He's a disappointment in many ways, but he can get away with it because the alternatives are so much worse.
This one is baffling, though. Is he afraid that drug warriors in the DOJ will accuse him of preventing them from enforcing a law that is on the books?

 I've heard the DJ index is a "6-month out predictor". If so, this trend will not bode well for the GOB campaigns. |

The GOP campaigners do not bode well for the GOP campaigns.

Rick Santorum: Giving women the absolute freedom to do what he tells them.
Mitt Romney: Consistently sticking to an ever-changing position.

You know things are going badly for Santorum and Romney when Eric Cantor
endorses Romney, but then turns around and offers a jobs bill that Dems will support. Some of the talking heads on TV now that are glumly acknowledging problems among the GOB candidates, and suggesting it may be better to concentrate on Congressional elections to keep the House. It's like wading a river with guicksand bottom, and trying to find a solid place to step before going under. |

Its always easier to be the incumbent. 1) No real primary. 2) Easier to use taxpayer money to campaign. 3) Name recognition/familiarity. 4) Typically far easier to raise campaign donations and so on.

Also the fact that Obama's been pretty popular and successful, in some parts of the country. To some people, I mean.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, he's not only incumbent, he's at least fairly popular too.
