12. You're equivocating no results yet with breaking campaign promises, which IMO is unfair
Edited on Mon Jul-20-09 04:21 PM by berni_mccoy
For example, you don't know that Holder *hasn't* reviewed evidence of torture by the Bush Administration. In fact, it's pretty clear that he has, given his recent movement toward appointing a special prosecutor: http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/07/holder_considers_torture_prosecutor.php

The problem is there are a large number of promises to live up to and Obama has started working on many of them and initiated solutions for some of them, for example, closure of Guantanamo. Some prisoners have already been released and others are getting trials. The fact that these actions have yet to lead to completion of the promise does not mean he has broken his promise. Bush had 8 years to wreck America, Obama has had 6 months to clean it up and you are passing judgement already.
