It would make no sense what so ever for an elected representative in the US to openly support or be friendly to our industry. Even though we are all aware that it is more likely than not that the vast majority of Americans are either porn consumers, porn lovers, are tolerant of porn or do not give a shit about it one way or another we are still on the fringe of society.
It does not matter if its a sweet solo girl that only touches herself while smiling cutely at the camera or a 15 dude bukkake gangbang fuck fest with whips and chains and amputee midgets swinging from black guys' cock in the background... its all porn in the minds of many and would be electoral suicide to anyone up for office that might say 'yeah, I watch porn. It's entertaining sometimes'
America is so repressed and so hung up on sex that it would be the kiss of death. The best we can hope for is a tacit indifference to what we do.

Obviously, the Obama administration is not going to be indifferent to porn, as this prosecution neatly shows.
You are correct about American hangups about sex but the point is that those who think they are safer under the Obama Administration are deluding themselves I think. By dissolving the task force and relying in local United States Attorneys (Which are still FEDERAL!), the Obama Administration cleverly distances itself from apparent direct involvement in porn prosecutions, at least in the public eye, while continuing the same old repressive agenda.
I find it amusing that so many were concerned about a possible Romney presidency but have ignored the fox already in the henhouse!
