I am not trying to start a big debate here or bash Obama (I think he's the best legitimate candidate left) but I have just been genuinely curious for a while if all of his supporters are really fine with him supporting the reauthorization of the PATRIOT act [1] and also saying that he would be willing to take our military into Pakistan and Iran preemptively [2, 3]. Do most fans of his not realize these things, or do they just not mind?
