He gets a very basic fact wrong in his opportunistically anti-Obama column this morning. Ambers:

The truth is that Obama did not attend church on July 22. He was on his way to campaign in Miami.

Pardoning War Criminals
America doesn't pardon war criminals. It prosecutes and, in the past, has even executed them for the same techniques that Bush and Rumsfeld and Cheney endorsed.
The HIV Travel Ban Is Repealed
I've lived with this awful sense of insecurity, of fear of leaving the country, of visiting my family, of the lingering sense that my virus rendered me potentially deportable, that any roots I put down might be dug up suddenly one day - for fifteen years. The lifting of this threat - the sense that I now have a home I know will be secure for me and my husband - is indescribable.

Staying
Occupations are like government programs. Once instituted, it seems they can never be abolished.
