Obama: belief you can change in

Faith-based discrimination with federal funds,
defending public financing by discrediting it,
warrantless wiretaps for a week (and the feds keep
what they get even if the courts shut it down), all
Jerusalem for Israel, the death penalty extended
beyond homicide, and teaching the poor a lesson.  How
much have I left out?
