as far as I'm concerned those are the promises I was concerned about and he hasn't delivered.

With all due respect, in light of the economy, how many Americans are concerned with gitmo, ending the war, and national security as immediate and pressing issues? You mentioned you know many people still without jobs. Where do you think the most pressure is being applied to the presidency at this moment? Just how far up the scale is gitmo compared to the economy? Do you not expect Obama to prioritize accordingly? What would you think if he spent much more time on gitmo and foreign relations at the cost of letting the economy collapse?
