(23,946 posts)29. You are wrong about Gitmo....the record is clear why it is not closed and it is the usual suspects.
As to "foreign interventions"...how many has it been that Obama has engaged in that he started, other than ISIS aerial campaign?

Kind of contradictory to the whole "Obama is a warhawk" meme?

Foreign affairs? Drones? First, I hate drones, but surely Hillary will use them, right?
