I don't get your logic Cad, it's really screwy and even partisan.
"Obama is going to close Gitmo! How dare he!"
*Obama realizes he shouldn't yet since he received new information.*
"Obama promised to close Gitmo! He betrayed the voters!"
You can't complain about Obama closing Gitmo and then complain when he doesn't close it. It doesn't work like that.
god damn it. just wrote a lengthy response and my computer shit the bed. quick recap.
i want gitmo to be open. thought it was foolish for obama to want to close it.
however, the point i was trying to make is, sometimes situations change.
obama promised, numberous times, to close gitmo in a year.
the fact that he hasn't would cause some people to consider him a liar. i personally, don't.
i think he came in to office, saw the significance of gitmo, realized what it means to national security and did the proper thing in keeping it open. others on the left might disagree.
what i do have a problem with is him not keeping his promise not to put bills online for five days or put debates on cspan. i get that you promise a public option, and because of republican opposition you don't get it. i get you promise to repeal don't ask dont' tell and can't because of republican opposition. but when you don't put bills online or put debates on cspan, it makes me think you have something to hide. and when you claim to be so transparent, it makes me question your credibility. and no, you're not just another politician. you're the guy that's going to stop the oceans from receding...
