I suppose most Dwellars know I support Obama.
That said, IMO yesterday's speech was probably the his best-to-date.
I did watch and listen to all except the first couple of minutes.
I expected him to build up to a justification for adopting the Bill in the OP.
But he did not.
Instead, he called for a reduction in the use of drones,
justification for draw down of troops from the middle east
closure of Gitmo, and most importantly, justification for a
final, formal, and legal end to the US "War on Terrorism".
There was point in his talk where he could easily have slipped
in his adoption of that Bill, but I think he went the other direction.
It goes without saying, I was much relieved.
It remains to be seen what actually comes out of the politics of Congress.
