I voted for Obama. Even though the Democratic Party is a right-wing entity, it is at least somewhat less right-wing than the Republican Party. Lesser of two evils, and all that.

Can’t say I’m impressed by his performance so far… I understand that breaking promises is a popular past-time among US politicians, but Obama takes it to a new extreme. I can’t help but notice that the torture camps are still operating at full steam, the illegal occupation of Afghanistan is actually escalating, and we still don’t have a meaningful healthcare system.
