In one of his first orders of business as the new President, the messiah defiantly issued an executive order shutting down Gitmo prison. Typical of the most inexperienced President in history, this action was taken too quickly and was lacking in…

Why grant the Gitmo detainees the same judicial rights as American citizens? This would be the result if any or all of them landed on US soil. Those who committed acts of terrorism/violence/broke the law within the US…yeah, they get to go to court. But those who committed such acts outside the United States?

Read Johnson v. Eisntrager.

Well, it’s going to be hard to compare Obama to Hitler.

He can’t even make the trains run on time.

Hope! Change! Transparency!

Obama got the “pageantry” thing down pretty good though.

Just reinforce the Coast Guard patrols in the Florida Straits…

They “misread” how bad the economy was, they “misread” how recalcitrant Iran would be, and now evidently they’ve “misread” how complex the legal situation is at Gitmo

I guess you could say they’re a bunch of misconstrued miscreants. What could go wrong?

Gitmo’s supposed to close in six months. They’re delaying the report on what to do with the prisoners until … the current prison closes?

Maybe there is enough time for the report to be posted on-line for 5 days of review before closure?

Even though an on-time arrival might require a high multiple of light speed, it is unequivocal that until you are late you are not late! So, relax. No more speeding down the freeway or running red lights, Mr. President. You have until December 31 at 23:59:59 to shut down Gitmo before you’re actually LATE.

With any luck, you’ll be tarred and feathered for your much bigger problems by then. Hell, you might die on an aneurysm by then when the tough questions from the MSM finally begin! Take heart, and chill. Anything could happen.

Well, of course. Barry’s already figured out, between the Stimulus passage and the pushback on ObamaCare, that the only way he can pass legislation is to wrap it in the mantle of an “emergency.” Which means that the report will come out about a week before the prison is to be closed. Oh, whatever shall we do with the prisoners? I know, let’s put them in mainland US prisons! Bonus points if the administration offers critics, as “Plan B,” the option of shipping them back to where we captured them – and releasing them.

When Barry took the oath of office, he should’ve swapped “Hail to the Chief” for the “Liberty Bell March.” Monty Python version, if possible.

I’ll call your $200 T and raise you $20 T on both lied brazenly and too stupid to recognize their ignorance and shortcomings.

I’m tempted to accuse them of not having misread anything but rather of having lied brazenly on the trail to raise voters’ expectations unrealistically of how easy governance by Hopenchange would be.

When you run a campaign on nothing but words, expect empty promises.
