I disagree. Obama openly condemned it at his State of the Union address. That, apparently, was unprecedented in modern times.

That's a great point, you are right. I am recalling prior to that when none of the candidates condemned them but openly utilized them. Also, Obama has said a lot of things. He's really good at saying things.

I do remember the shaking of Alito's head and the "that's not true" remark. -also unprecedented stuff.

Obama is great at talking. And we all saw that he has a (not to sound racist, it just fits here, I swear) "Don't hate the player; hate the game," sort of attitude, as well. That is, he might have disagreed with the ruling, but he had no problem spending all that unlimited cash, did he?

That is the insidious thing though, -you don't have a choice whether or not to spend all that cash. You must.
