He's definitely more refreshing than that previous guy, who couldn't put one word in front of another and was clearly a puppet to all the rich and powerful Right Wing-Nuts in the country.
But Obama has screwed up big time, by letting all the torturers and their leaders off the hook. He is in essence sealing the record, so we may never know the true story behind who did what and who decided what and what has been covered up.
This is the same old same old tradition of America: we let the southerners off the hook after the Civil War and we bought ourselves a hundred years of racism.
We let the "Light Is At The End Of the Tunnel" liars off the hook after the Viet Nam War and we got the Iraq War and an idiotic-villainous puppet for President.
Now we are going to let the torturers off the hook.
We will continue to repeat history if we don't study it and honestly face it.
