exactly

Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com has been beating the dead horse that "Republicans are hypocrites!" for ages now, producing seemingly endless and rambling posts padded with digressions. Today however, he finally busts out a live one: disquieting signs that an Obama administration and Democratic congress may not reverse the expansion of powers of the executive branch.

I can totally see the appeal of leaving them in place for Obama, the guy can wave in all the common sense legislation we've been waiting for with the flick of a pen! It's still edging closer and closer towards dictatorship though, so I'd rather go with separation of powers, thank you. Let's hope the former constitutional law professor will do the right thing. On the other hand, maybe a President-for-life Obama could make hoverboards a reality by 2015, as we were all promised.
