BTW, just a reminder to all of you celebrating Obama's win that if you smoke weed, he wants to put you in jail. That his administration has been even more vigorous than the Bush administration in prosecuting marijuana clinics. That more black men are in the prison system now due to the drug war than were enslaved prior to the Civil War.
His administration has also fought for the power to assassinate and imprison citizens without trail. To spy indiscriminately without warrants. His administration has prosecuted whistleblowers at higher rates and refused more FOIA requests than the Bush administration. Prisoner torture and the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians continue overseas.
His win is no victory for civil rights.
