I've kinda had it with all of the BS

206. Well Obama could have closed Gitmo with a simple order.

To the joint chief of staff of the military...saying something like
I want you to close Gitmo right away, and if you have charges against any of them start immediately trying them and if not then fly them back to where you got them and release them...that is an order.
And if they did not follow that order he would do to them what Truman did to McCarther...
It is that simple.
And the congress has no say so in in at all under the constitution.
So if Obama did not make that decision then there is someone higher in rank than him....Who would that be?...Goldman Sacks?

As far as single payer there is one way to insure 100% failure, and that is not to try, and he did not try, so no doubt about it...it failed.
But I would bet that if the plan was to open Medicare to all he would have had the support of the majority of people...and it would have been the easy fix, sense it is already in place ready to go. And we would not have to spend billions on software that did not work and a system that is now in real doubt as to when it will work.
