Obama breaks election promises on human rights, Rachel Maddow reacts
May 28, 2009
The liberals are already turning on Obama, even quicker than conservatives turned on Bush. However, they really should have done so before the electionÂfor example, when he voted in July to give telecommunications companies retroactive immunity after they broke the law to help the NSA spy on Americans. It was irresponsible of liberals to forgive Barack Obama before the election for violating our civil liberties. Their party came into power at the expense of our liberty. The least they could have done is voted for a third party progressive. Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader are still socialists, but at least they respect basic human rights and government transparency. Obama speaks like he supports those things, but his actions before and after the election show his dishonesty and complete lack of respect for the American people.
Here is MSNBC liberal commentator Rachel Maddow reporting on Obama's policy on handling detainees:

the Obama presidency have
