Reply #65: Let's get a few things straight. [View All]

[Exilednight]

First: DADT has not been fully repealed.

Second: There is nothing in the law he signed to repeal DADT that makes being gay legal in the military. It just means that DADT is out the window, but it doesn't mean gay soldiers can openly serve and not be discharged from the military.

Third: It's true he never offered a universal HC system, but he did not campaign on what was sold to us.

Fourth: Access to care, not access to health insurance, but access to care has not been improved.

Fifth: He never addressed the core problem of health care - rising prices. Instead, what he said would lower prices has actually raised them and everyone on the left warned him that this bill would do exactly that.

Sixth: DOMA is still be defended, just not by the justice department.

Seventh: He might of repealed torture laws, but he hasn't actually ended the physical abuse of US captives.

Eighth: There is now talk of having permanent bases in Iraq, and eventually Afghanistan. Directly against what he campaigned on.

I could go on and on, but you can, hopefully, see the pattern.
