I sure wouldn't go that far as to call the president a liar. Every president has a bunch of campaign promises that go unfulfilled. most campaign promises is just a candidate telling his base and what he thinks the audience he is addressing wants to hear. I, for one am thankful he hasn't carried through on the campaign promise, I also do not look at him as a liar for not doing so.
If the president has to close the base just to bring the terrorist here to the states, that is a big mistake and plays right into communist Cuba's hands. Besides, if I remember right congress passed a law prohibiting the transfer of the prisoners at GITMO to the states. Then there is what looks good, what sounds good as a candidate can change when one becomes president. He learns things that he was not privy to as a candidate. He has to govern instead of running for an office. Things chance and as long as the prisoners stay at GITMO, I am happy.
Then why did he promise again in 2012 to close Gitmo? Sorry, your trying to cover his ass doesn't work.
