Posted by Bob Janova at 5:16pm Mar 15 '13What's your point? Just that Obama has not fulfilled his promises on civil liberties and Guantanamo? That is disappointing, for sure, but it's not really news in that he's been doing bad things on civil liberties since the beginning.
The trouble is that there's really no plausible opposition to challenge him on that. The rightist Republicans would be even worse and there's no credible third party in any of the branches of your government, so there's really no way to apply pressure to Obama's administration to do the right thing.
