Obama is not friendly to our point of view. He has been an enemy of free information. He goes after whistle blowers with full force. He has threatened reporters with espionage. He wants Bradley Manning to die in jail.

Pvt. Manning leaked classified information while serving as a member of the armed forces. Members of the US Military are subject to significantly higher standards of conduct than are civilians.
Pvt. Manning should consider himself lucky that he's dealing with Obama rather than Bush/Cheney, or it is likely that he would be facing charges of treason and a death penalty rather than just life imprisonment.
