The way ahead
Pres. Obama (Archives)

I voted for you twice. The second time was me hoping you would finally execute at least some of the things you spoke of….but nothing happened.

Instead of me going on and on, on how much of a disappointment you were. I’m just going to list all of the things you didn’t do or lacked courage to do.

  1. Guantanamo Bay detention camp: by not closing it right a way you have set a precedent in the global community that it's ok to hold soldiers indefinitely and torture them. You have condemned our soldiers and set us back 40yrs.
  2. Not 1 CEO has gone to jail for the Great Recession. By not punishing these bankers for playing Russian roulette with the public's money. You have set up the next financial meltdown. Congrats the next meltdown is on your shoulders.
  3. The crumbling of Civil Liberties: You of all people should know the damage that the NSA has caused to our civil liberties. But instead nothing has changed, no heads have rolled and the department is flush with cash to continue their insane obsession with monitoring its own citizens.
  4. No regulation on using Drones to kill people. This is such a huge misstep that we will be feeling the repercussions for years. The fact the president as literally a robot army at his disposal with no checks or balances is insane. Its primed for abuse.
  5. The 2yrs you had where Democrats had the senate (2009–2011). Such a missed opportunity to do some real change here and you couldn’t get your own party to do anything.
  6. Obama care is a joke. Not sure how making people pay for insurance was going to help people be insured. Especially when there was no regulation on copayments and deductibles.
  7. No drug pricing control. Not 1 bit of new legislation for this.
