Another reason I no longer have much support left in me for the Obama administration.

Currently, the Obscenity Prosecution Task Force is led by Alberto Gonzales appointee Brent Ward, a man who once led a crusade in Utah to get nude art-class models to wear bikinis. According to Jennifer Kinsley, the Task Force isn’t just continuing old cases that began in the Bush era, it’s also actively seeking out new ones. “Someone was asking me the other day why this is still happening,” she says. “I think the reason is that Brent Ward is still there. Had he been asked to resign, I don’t think these cases would still be going on. But basically the Obama Administration has left the previous decision-makers in their offices.”

He’s not the only one of the odious Bush appointees who’ve been left on, but I can’t believe we’re wasting money prosecuting consensual porn still.

Obama was elected on a platform of hope and change. I knew that was a lie at the time, but I had no idea it was such a huge lie.
