[...] That is, he couldn’t make Democrats vote for something that 99% of their constituents find dangerous, stupid and unnecessary: closing Gitmo and bringing terrorists to America. [...]

“Not my fault I gave the job to Craig and he failed. As soon as I tackle Afghanistan, the Budget Deficit, Global warming, and levitation I will get right on it just like I promised”

Even with the US sending five 9/11 plotters to New York City to face a criminal trial, the Washington Post estimates that 75 prisoners remain that simply cannot be released, sent elsewhere, or tried normally — a situation Obama’s critics predicted all along.

Something that Bush and Cheney knew, not only all along, but a priori–that there would be people you would just need to grab and hold onto without charges, lawyers, or trials. Even though they knew this would be unpopular, they knew it needed to be done, so they did it. Obama? Compared to them, he’s like a 7th grader screaming about wanting a bigger allowance. Sheep/goats, men/boys–consider them separated.

OK, I’m going to look at this as pragmatist. The Dems have been beating this drum sine 9/11/01, saying it was a good idea to bring terrorist into our civilian legal system. Now they can do it because they are in charge. So let’s go along with it with the very clear understanding that any and all bad outcomes are their responsibility. We can’t really stop them anyway, so the next best thing is to start keeping track of all the things that go wrong and lay it at the liberals’ feet. You lefties are in charge, but you are also totally responsible for 100% of the outcome.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson makes this hilarious point about the 2012 stuff in this video here. He brings up the point about December 23rd 2012 earth/sun/center of the galaxy "perfect alignment" theory the doomsayers have been using to show how cosmic this date is. What the doomsayers neglect to mention is that this happens on or around December 23rd EVERY YEAR. Morons.

The interesting part is that he is choosing people closer and closer to him personally to help him run the WH.

This is a very dangerous pattern…

This cannot be whitewashed, Obama failed to deliver on his first promise after he took office.

This will not be lost on the GOP (or even Hillary) as 2012 rolls in.

Gitmo, Cap-n-tax, AfPak waffling, watered down HC.

What has he done really?

Liberals: sucking at legal oversight among other things….

Because they are all mis-educated lefties who went to law school (a garbage-in garbage-out process, which for a large majority of attendees becomes a 3 year prep-school on how to ~~spin~~ lie on your clients behalf) they have zero ability to de-emotionalize concrete issues, and thus plan and execute anything beyond the size of a dinner party…

Way off topic, but is anyone else getting the ad on this thread for ‘Barack Obama Bronze Collector’s Busts? At $899.00! Wonder how many orders will be placed by Hot Air regulars.

These are cheap shots at an outgoing colleague, but entirely necessary if they hope to keep the stench of the Gitmo flop off of Barack Obama.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep hoping. Like Obama continues to blame Bush for everything….in my opinion, Obama can take the wrap for this, as well as every other thing he’s screwed up in this country. The buck stops at Obama!!!

Bauer is as bad or worse than Craig, but who else would be working for Hussein? The fleas you would get from laying with these dogs are terminal.

I want them to find the mastermind who came up with the “give you a raise, job ‘saved’” jerk. Hussein looks more foolish than usual spewing those numbers with all the fakery around them.

It’s funny that Obama loved to take credit for announcing to the world that he was closing Guantonimo Bay, but he will assign the blame to someone else when it turns out that it is not so easy to do it. This truly falls within the notion of easier said than done.

That should be Obamna’s legacy: “Obama, proving once again that it is easier said than done.”

[...] Rather predictably, Obama administration is not serious about closing Gitmo: Struggled? Yes, that’s one way of putting it. After Craig damaged US-British relations by sticking four Gitmo detainees on a plane to Bermuda, and after he dumped less than a dozen more on the island nation of Palau, the pickings for release became mighty slim. Even with the US sending five 9/11 plotters to New York City to face a criminal trial, the Washington Post estimates that 75 prisoners remain that simply cannot be released, sent elsewhere, or tried normally — a situation Obama’s critics predicted all along.
