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

No, look, here's my point. Of your specific examples, only closing Gitmo is a broken promise. He promised to expand the engagement in Afghanistan while drawing down troops in Iraq, and he's done exactly that. "National security" is so broad an area, it's almost impossible to talk about in terms of specific promises made and kept/broken, but as someone who actually paid attention to what Obama said as a candidate, the action and inaction I'm seeing from them is entirely expected action and inaction, regrettable though I find it.
Obama detractors like very much to put common liberal agendas into his mouth and then claim he's failed as a savior. Reality diverges from this view significantly. Feel free to keep regurgitating nonsense, but I'm going to try my damnedest to keep bringing FACTS to the table. Hopefully at least I'll get you to a place where you're unable to say these things with a straight face.
