Gitmo wasn't ever planned to close, the prison camp was. Personally though, I don't care if they close it or not.

He said he was going to go into Pakistan, however he has not killed more civilians than Bush. Maybe in Packistan, but not in this war.

Ok... again he said he was going to fight terror head on. I see no issues with this action, the only ones that do are the ones that think he gave himself a peace prize.

It's being reviewed if I remember correctly - looking into it, is equally as good. Expecting it to happen over night - is a bit nuts.

Didn't he repeal tax breaks? thus putting old taxes back. Not really 'raising' taxes - but a nice way to twist it. He did say he would do this, with the end goal to being able to clean the budget and look at the tax system.

Is the left going nuts over this as much as the right? It has lots of loose parts, but overall if you read the thing, it's not anything like the right media is making it out to be.
