If Obama wanted my vote he should have acted with a modicum of ethics, morality and legality.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I am passing judgement on you FOR voting for Obama. Nothing of the sort. I understand the "pragmatic" argument about "the lesser of two evils", I just choose not to participate. You also seem to feel (in my opinion) that my individual vote somehow matters. It doesn't, since the President made it very plain within weeks of taking office that he washed his hands of the liberal wing of the party, and moved on with the "tried and true" Clintonian policy of triangulation.

I had a friend years ago who worked for Lorillard Tobacco who was upset at my virulently anti-tobacco views. He felt that I thought him an evil person for working for a merchant of death. I explained that I certainly understood that a man must feed his family and in an uncertain economy one must be pragmatic about available jobs. However, as long he never lied to himself that he was part of something noble and virtuous, I had no cause for comment.
