Monthly Obama Forum Approval - June 2009

[Mechaman]

Somewhat disapprove as of late.

I do admire him for having a humble foreign policy as of late and talking to our fellow nations instead of threatening them with war. However, his broken promises of restoring American civil liberties is too big to ignore. Embracing the Patriot Act, letting Bush era officials off the hook for torture, turning his back on the pro drug decrminalization crowd that so enthusiastically supported him, using the drug wars in Mexico to push forth his draconian gun control agenda, etc., are enough to qualify for HP.

Not really.

Saying CIA officials involved in waterboarding won't be prosecuted isn't letting them off the hook?
