Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Amos,

If anything, thois is a further example that the Obama administration is leading the way in increasing division and attacks on opponanyts- contrary to Obama's campaign promises.

If you want to allow Obama to get away with what you criticised Bush for, you are stating that Obama is to be judged by different rules, and is somehow " special". Hardly fair, to him OR to the country.



"Responding to a University of Alabama law student's question, Roberts said anyone was free to criticize the court, and some have an obligation to do so because of their positions.

"So I have no problems with that," he said. "On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum.

"The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling."

Breaking from tradition, Obama criticized the court's decision that allows corporations and unions to freely spend money to run political ads for or against specific candidates."
