I do want Gitmo closed. I was not "outraged" over it. I see no reason not to close it, and I think the fear-mongering monkeybrains who don't want those prisoners transferred to places like Illinois ... are ... monkeybrains.
From 'Zig's Politifact website:
Obama promises broken: 19
Obama
promises accomplished: 116
Obama promises in the works to being accomplished: over 100
Obama is already up there as one of the Presidents who have done the most in their first year. His problem in my view is that he gives too much benefit of the doubt. Democrats have always had a tendency towards empathy
Not so the GOP.
I'm far from hard left, so am not as unhappy as some far more progessive over what Obama has done so far. Of course, nothing he would do would suit a self-professed libertarian, I imagine.
I saw Ernie play at Wrigley multiple times
It's a beautiful day for a ballgame!
Ron Santo ... sigh
