There is nothing to see, here, II

Just another campaign promise shattered. And the media lets it slide.

Today’s lead story in the Washington Post reports that President-elect Obama “will consider it a failure if he has not closed the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the end of his first term in office.”

Thankfully, many of his broken campaign promises are the correct decision in my mind, and they were in President Bush's mind as well. I'm feeling slightly better today than I did back on Nov. 5th. Of coarse, this is the honeymoon where the press is letting him slide. A year or two of following Bush policies, and they may have a different take. Of coarse, juxtapose these concessions with bail-out money to the private industry including the newspaper industry, and they may continue to let these sleep dogs lie.
