This is not a situation where we should be outraged at a president breaking his promise (yawn), but a case of an executive order not being carried out.
We should not gloss over the fact that Obama's 'promise' (or rather, executive order) to close Gitmo came after the election. One of his very first acts as president in fact. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/20/obamas-first-term-promise-close-gitmo-prison-still/?page=all http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/20/obamas-first...
The question we must ask is why did it not close? And, if Obama can't close this abomination, then who can?
