determined not by our circumstance
but by our disposition.

Maude famously said. "God is going to get you for that." Socialist Fidel Castro impoverished and enslaved the Cuban people. Rest in hell.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) November 26, 2016
I'm amused by the Romney & Giuliani camps fighting over Secretary of State spot. If I were Trump, Romney would be SoS, Giuliani Homeland Sec— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) November 26, 2016
Some libertarians like Tom Woods would fight to the death against neocon Romney's appointment. Romney is a quick study and turnaround guru.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) November 26, 2016
One of Obama's few foreign policy successes is reversing our anachronistic Cold War economic policies against Cuba. Trump must not go back.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) November 26, 2016
Congress should use the opportunity of Fidel Castro's death to repeal our indefensible policy of an embargo. Communism would collapse w/o it— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) November 26, 2016
Image of the DayTrade sanctions are a futile, lose-lose policy against consumers of both countries. Dictators exploit sanctions to sidestep accountability.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) November 26, 2016

It's not just the precedent of kill lists and countless civilian casualties under Obama's expansionary droning operations in nations with which we are in undeclared war but the fact Obama was willing to target Americans overseas without due process. Trump's rhetoric throughout the campaign showed that he wasn't sensitive to individual rights, favoring eminent domain abuse, championing the restoration of torture, and insisting Apple must build a backdoor to its devices for the convenience of the State: Obama has led the way.
I think the unfortunate point is made. I've not investigated enough to know about the difficulties Obama may have faced in trying to close that facility; I generally think he was obstructed unnecessarily at most turns by an idiotic congress.
You're buying into bullshit excuses. This is a President who has been willing to overreach authority so many times that the federal courts have constantly slapped him down and he has lost the most unanimous SCOTUS decisions against him. The reality was that he was unwilling to spend political capital to get it done. As others point out the Democrats controlled one or both houses of Congress for 6 years.
