In other words, it's pure propaganda.
>>propaganda refers to deliberately false or misleading information that supports a political cause or the interests of those in power. The propagandist seeks to change the way people understand an issue or situation, for the purpose of changing their actions and expectations in ways that are desirable to the interest group. In this sense, propaganda serves as a corollary to CENSORSHIP, in which the same purpose is achieved, not by filling people's heads with false information, but by preventing people from knowing true information. What sets propaganda apart from other forms of advocacy is the willingness of the propagandist to change people's understanding through DECEPTION and confusion, rather than persuasion and understanding. The leaders of an organization know the information to be one sided or untrue but this may not be true for the rank and file members who help to disseminate the propaganda.<< http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Propaganda

Frankly I don't give a... about:
A. Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair. - drugs should be legalized
A. Admitted
>>A. Is a big believer in the separation of church and state.<<
I don't think that is a bad thing. There are a lot of things on that list. Can you pick a few that REALLY bother you?
FYI - there was an email circulated with all of those points.

Just looking at the mass e-mail, I agree with Obama on a significant number of these "points" that were made.

Yes we can!!!!!
