NDAA another Obama broken promise

Let's talk a little politics today. Let's talk NDAA. And just in case you've been living under rock and didn't notice - a new bill was passed while Americans partied and celebrated on New Year's eve. It's called the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and, it is a radical and dangerous bill! You know, this is the one that can, among other things "throw American citizens into prison for life without charges or a trial".

Yes people, our president has let us down once again by signing a bill that he said he would veto, and worse yet, s n e a k i n g to do it when our backs were turned. I know you're surprised.

Oh, but he did add a little note saying that as long as HE is president, his administration would not use the controversial indefinite detention provisions on American citizens.

And a big woop-d-doo. Do YOU believe him? That statement isn't even binding and what it says is "better vote for me cause if anybody else is gets into office, well,  I can't vouch for what will happen to you" Or, in other words "you're on your own"
