"If Gitmo is anyone’s legacy, it is the legacy of George W. Bush and of the US Senate"

29. Reread my comment #18*. Apparently, you've missed:

He chose to make that promise because ALL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS were out and about telling everyone how bad Bush and Cheney were (and they were right, of course), and they all wanted to close Gitmo, too. Remember that?

So, that's where he based his decision on. He believed, like everyone else, that the Democrats in Congress meant what they told us and they would have his back especially when he saw the majorities the Dems won in Congress after the election.

They lied. He didn't.

And I didn't want to point this part out in your post, but it smacks of TeaBagger puritanism:

"What I said, and stand by, is that he made a promise, and did not keep it, and that therefor we cannot trust other promises he may make - after all, he may turn out to be unable to keep them, too."

So, because, in my opinion, that part smacks of TeaBagger puritanism, does that make all your comments TeaBagger puritanism?

Please lighten up. If you can't support Obama, then don't. But stop with the "he didn't keep his promise and he totally disillusioned me and he should totally disillusion ya'll too!". It comes across fake and hollow.
