Subject: RE: BS: Pres. Obama, Person of the Year 2012
Sorry...I disagree with this.
Obama is still killing civilians in Afghanistan, due to an invasion which should *never* have taken place. My country too is totally wrong to be there. He sanctions drones too, some of which have killed children and trust me, ALL Mothers cry the same tears, no matter where they come from.

Also, he continues to keep Leonard Peltier in prison, scared, I'd imagine, of the FBI and what they would do to him...It was, imo, the very first thing he should have done on first being elected, or at least, on being elected second time around....

I have NO respect for him in this matter.

Person of The Year 2012?

Leonard Peltier, who should actually win it EVERY year, for he has endured Absolute Hell these past 37 years...and even now is STILL being made to suffer, not receiving the correct medical treatment to this day.....

At least his friends and those from 'Democracy Now' have given him much support recently..

But whilst Obama continues to keep Leonard in prison, he has not an ounce of respect from me.
