[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] Mendacity of hope

[David Johnson]

True to a point Carl,

But Obama also made specific campaign promises, NOT ONE of which he 
fulfilled.
Eg. Support and push for the Employee Free Choice Act, re-negotiate NAFTA, 
Close Guantanamo, etc. etc..
Let's not let Obama off the hook so easily and put all of the blame on the 
people who voted for him.
Obama is a liar and a deceiver, that in my opinion is what should be 
emphasized.
