Obama's backsliding on torture »

Posted By berkeley 10 months ago in Political News

President Obama inherited a human rights debacle of epic proportions. One of his earliest acts, during his very first hours in office, was to signal a change of policy by ordering the closure of Guantánamo.

      Well listen to the liberals rant. Ignore the deficit but go after this one. What do you think happens when someone become president.

Or are the liberals just a bunch of hypocrites on this topic like on the deficit.
