Reply #46: "Obama's actions have been even more conservative than what many of his supporters expected"

[Tarheel_Dem]

Many of his "supporters", as you call them, have tried to rewrite history, and it happens right here on this board. Things that this president never said or intimated during his campaign are somehow twisted into "broken promises". It's otherworldly to read some of the claims by some on the left, and I'm not even convinced that they are who they say they are. Afterall, it is the internet.

"......it would not have been unreasonable for a 2008 voter to expect that, in 2011, Gitmo would be closed",......

It would certainly be unreasonable for those who know what the hell they're talking about. Perhaps you could show them these? :shrug:

If folks are looking for a reason not to support this president, they'll find it, no matter what evidence is presented. But I'm not here to convince them otherwise, just to point out blatant half truths & untruths when I spot them. :hi:
