He is increasing the defense budget. He is ratcheting up the war in Afghanistan. He is belligerent towards Iran. He is in favor of the Patriot Act and FISA. He is predator bombing and destabilizing Pakistan. He is pretending to withdraw from Iraq while actually turning over operations to private contractors. Also, last I checked a 35,000 to 50,000 troop strong "residual force" will remain in Iraq even after the "withdrawal" is supposedly complete. He might or might not be closing Gitmo but you can be damn sure he is not discontinuing indefinite detention without trial. You can also be sure secret prisons worse than Gitmo are still in operation around the world.In other words, he has kept the status quo but made several highly publicized symbolic moves to keep people like you appeased.
