well.....
close gitmo......
increase government transparancy......
thats two right off top of my head...
1.) The RepubliCON$ wasn't having Gitmo be shut down. They head that off at the pass.
2.) That's subjective, he's DEFINITELY brought more transparency to the White House than the previous Administration. That's a work-in-progress.
So with all the RW hype and propaganda...only 2 examples of broken promises or lies as they'd prefer to call it. Is that it?
Prove both your points. Give me a link for starters on how the Republicans stopped Obama from shutting down GITMO.
Obama throws out executive orders on a regular basis. Why not regarding GITMO?
Now, how are you going to prove that Obama has brought transparency, more transparency than the Bush administration?
Oh and on the no lobbyists in his administration?
Here are former lobbyists Obama has tapped for top jobs:
Eric Holder, attorney general nominee, was registered to lobby until 2004 on behalf of clients including Global Crossing, a bankrupt telecommunications firm [now confirmed].
Tom Vilsack, secretary of agriculture nominee, was registered to lobby as recently as last year on behalf of the National Education Association.
William Lynn, deputy defense secretary nominee, was registered to lobby as recently as last year for defense contractor Raytheon, where he was a top executive.
William Corr, deputy health and human services secretary nominee, was registered to lobby until last year for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a non-profit that pushes to limit tobacco use.
David Hayes, deputy interior secretary nominee, was registered to lobby until 2006 for clients, including the regional utility San Diego Gas & Electric.
Mark Patterson, chief of staff to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, was registered to lobby as recently as last year for financial giant Goldman Sachs.
Ron Klain, chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, was registered to lobby until 2005 for clients, including the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution, U.S. Airways, Airborne Express and drug-maker ImClone.
Mona Sutphen, deputy White House chief of staff, was registered to lobby for clients, including Angliss International in 2003.
Melody Barnes, domestic policy council director, lobbied in 2003 and 2004 for liberal advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the American Constitution Society and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
Cecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, was a lobbyist as recently as last year for the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group.
Patrick Gaspard, White House political affairs director, was a lobbyist for the Service Employees International Union.
Michael Strautmanis, chief of staff to the presidents assistant for intergovernmental relations, lobbied for the American Association of Justice from 2001 until 2005.
And that's just for starters.
the article said:It will be very difficult, obviously, Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) told POLITICO Wednesday. It is getting to be a problem and a challenge we have all these congressional blocks.
Since Obama has come into office, Congress has consistently barred funding for transferring Guantanamo detainees to the United States, a strategy that Obama had said would aid the process of closing the prison. The House voted in May to do that again this year.
the article said:the Justice Department released full FOIA records 42 percent of the time last year, up from 36 percent in 2008.
the article said:he has noticed improvements in FOIA processing under the Obama administration. And he said the administration is responsible for some epochal disclosures.
