Do you even know what you are talking about?
Let's start with just one: How has the president's anti-worker TPP trade agreement been "dealt with"? Did he stop negotiating it? Did he change its direction so it will be pro-worker? Did he take investor-to-state dispute settlement out of it? How has it been "dealt with"? It is an ongoing outrage, as are the corporate Christmas tree ACA, the failure to prosecute anyone on Wall Street, the failure to advance labor law reform, and on and on. . . these have not been "dealt with." They continue to harm working Americans.
What is your definition of "dealt with"? Does it mean you made an excuse for pro-corporate behavior and gave up caring about your working class compatriots who join you in the Democratic Party? I don't call that "dealing with it." I call that excuse-making.
And as to Guantanamo: As I said, but which you ignored, Congress prevented him from spending money to bring Guantanamo prisoners here. Congress did not prevent him from simply releasing these prisoners who are being held contrary to US law (they are being held without charge, just like South Africa used to hold black South Africans). He could have simply done that, or even threatened to do that, which would have brought the crazies to the table if they indeed felt the detainees were a threat to the US. He didn't. Don't call me names (e.g., "bad faith"
until you deal with arguments.
It is NEVER OK to violate the US Constitution. NO ONE is above the law. If Bush wasn't, Obama isn't. What don't you get about that?
