The Dark Side Of The Obama White House

I don't know that many Dems *are* in agreement with the above, including Obama - except the cowards in Congress who pushed these laws despite White House veto threats.

You will recall that Congress passed this legislation in the face of opposition by the Obama administration. Obama did not "push" for NDAA, and he issued a signing statement rejecting that authority. You will also recall that Obama's attempts to close Gitmo were blocked by the very same Congress.

============================

No, not true.  What's really interesting, and what is yet one more example of how corrupt Obama is and what a con job he's done on Democratic voters was that an anonymous campaign to debunk the proof was attempted.  This proof, here, the transcript and video of it at CSpan (Levin speaks at 4:43:38).  I heard it with my own ears, Carl Levin, on the floor of the Senate, and then there's the transcript in the Congressional Record.

SEN. CARL LEVIN: I'm wondering whether the Senator is familiar with the fact that the language which precluded the application of Section 1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally approved in the Armed Services Committee and the Administration asked us to remove the language which says that US citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section. 

Is the Senator familiar with the fact that it was the Administration that asked us to remove the very language which we had in the bill which passed the committee - and that we removed it at the request of the Administration - that would have said that this determination would not apply to US citizens and lawful residents?

Wouldn't it be spiffy if people actually researched the facts before they spread falsehoods?
