3. It slipped his mind, and besides, he hired someone to take care of that kind of stuff, and they're the one who dropped the ball. Nice responsibility shift, but as they say, "The Buck Stops Here", and trying to stuff your responsibilities off on someone else smacks of the type of "plausible deniability" that we've been having for the past eight years...not exactly a glowing recommendation in a possible POTUS.

Ive read and seen other reports that indicate, Obamas style of mgt. leans on trust and he lets you go do the job. Very scary.
Freedom to exercise your vote is important in this country. I can tell you for a fact, that voting for any third party candidates for president will send no messages. A third party candidate has effected every single presidental election since 92.
They cannot win the election because the electoral college is dedicated to winner takes all and most of these candidates dont even get on the ballot in all fifty states. A third party candidate is not going to win 50.1% of the vote in enough states to make a difference.
The only way to change that, is to go to a popular vote and they still wont win. But, in the mean time. The five or six largest states with the largest concentration of big cities and disproportionate landsides {New York} elections are not usually close} So then, you have NY. Penn. OH, FL, TX, CA will decide most of the presidential elections. Gore did get more total votes in 2000, and if you look at a red and blue country map, its simply amazing how few counties democrats have to win. Its like Pierce, king and Snohomish country, which have cost a number of republicans the election, even though they carry the vast majority of the counties. That may work for you personally, but the reverse can be true in other states. For the most part big cities and regulations that induce population density in the cities are front loading the elections. Much like tinkering with a slot machine or a set of dice. Its predictable voting. In 2010 we have another census and democrats will be in charge of that one if they control the house. Some districts are so crooked, they end up in court. Talk about stacking the deck.
It may not seem like such a big deal, but we arent drilling off the coast because a single california congresswoman is in charge of the house and none of you have any say in her re-election. Try and email her. As soon as your zip code is typed in, your letter will be rejected and you cannot send it.
