As Commander in Chief, Obama could have ended all wars any time he wanted. Could have brought everyone home. He even campaigned on doing so. Additionally, he could have closed Gitmo - as he campaigned on doing. That too would have saved considerable dollars.How can that be? If the debt was increased, GOP led the way. The two wars started by Bush accompanied by tax cuts for the rich fueled the cancerous growth of that debt.
Then there was the Patriot Act. He campaigned on ending that. Instead, he expanded it exponentially. All of it cost a fortune.
Obama was a wise man...he listened to his generals who advised against pulling troops out of war zones and leaving vulnerable citizen allies exposed to attack by the enemy.
