but didn't obama promise to get us out of the wars, to close gitmo, to get rid of dadt? maybe that's why they're mad, none of that has happened.
i expect dadt is just a matter of time, but i think he could have made a clean cut with that.
i believe panetta is in iraq, trying to get permission to keep troops in iraq.
gitmo-not going to happen. the house military appropriations bill would indicate there are no changes imminent in afganistan/iraq.
i can see why some folks would be sore.
as for spending, the budgets for most, if not all agencies increased when obama took office. so much for cutting spending. the commission he formed to find ways to cut costs-ignored.
a lot of talk-not much action.
at any rate, i'm not happy with the lot of them. i don't like the fact that the reps are doing what they can to keep obama from being re-elected, rather than doing what's right. i don't like the far righters trying to impose their religious zeal on others. i really don't like that the real problems we're facing are being ignored for the sake of politics. it's a disgrace.
