Senator Obama voted the opposite on a few of those, but as president seems to have few problems with the Patriot Act and Guantanamo.
So let's not kid ourselves that Congress has much say in the manner.
- pekk 14y agoCongress is THE body which has say in the matter. Obama's attempts to move suspects to the continental US from Guantanamo were suppressed by Congress. If you are going to excuse Congress, then who are you going to hold responsible?
- webXL 14y agoObama has the power of veto and executive order, does he not? Every power grubbing slimeball in D.C. is responsible. My only point was that just because Senator X doesn't share your values, don't think opposing him or her is going to make much difference right now.
