The Daily Show ripped Obama last night about his handling of Gitmo. Are you suggesting that Congress is completely blocking BO and he has no more say in the matter?
Didn’t O promise to close Guantanamo in 2007?"Didn’t Congress stop Obama from transferring the prisoners to any of the civilian maximum security prisons? You don’t care about truth. All you want to do is make up lies that fit your preconceived narrative.
Yup. And the Republicans (as usual) were chanting not in my back yard and prevented him from doing so. Don’t believe me? Then maybe you’ll believe FIXED NEWS when they say that same slogan and blame the Democrats for it.
you guys are feeding the troll.THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS the GOP wants gitmo opened, they LIKE that people are held for years/decades without being charged with a crime, the LOVE that places like GITMO are creating unrest and hatred for the USA amongst our ‘enemies’.this leads to more arms sales, more war and more money in their pockets.
We would all be better off if we ignored the trolls (Ms. Ima, HOWGOZIT, Gore Bane, Brandon, etc.) … all they do is spew the same one-and-two-line bulsit on each page — rants that get under the skin of right-minded people … consider that either (1) none of them care any more than to hit-and-run like most who spray grafitti on any blank space, and don’t really care what anybody thinks, or (2) some right-wing/Tea Party sugah dadda pays them to spew this garbage, making them low-life freeloaders, just as they accuse everybody who actually employs actual thought processes before posting on the Internet.
I would be VERY interested to see a DD214 proving more than three months of honorable service from any of these right-wing trolls … but I expect that could never happen …
Just a couple of cents from a 20-year USMC (Ret) who earned a master’s degree in something other than a redneck agenda …
It amazes me how many of these modern conservatives whine and moan about losing their rights when they’re the ones shredding the constitution on a regular basis…
IMA: HOW ABOUT A FACT? You claim you want that from Dem/Libs, but you never cite anything factual. Commander in chief means nothing when CONGRESS passes the laws. Or would you rather have the little DECIDER making laws? Congress wusses out on declaring war, but sure knows how to run one, right?
When Lindsey Graham cowered and said we didn’t want such AWFUL people in our country, uniformly the people in the towns that support our Federal pens said “STFU—of COURSE we do.”But Graham and his ilk were too cowardly (or too politically motivated) to ever allow it to happen.
You guys piss and moan about having a majority at one time or another—the fact of the matter is this—when any ONE Senator can put a BLIND hold PERMANENTLY on ANY legislation, vote totals—majorities simple or sixty—JUST DON’T MATTER. When the will of the people can be thwarted by ONE person SECRETLY, none of the rest of it matters. And being "Commander-in-Chief has nothing to do with THAT.

Again, President Obama NEVER had complete control of Congress. If there were a Democratic House now, he still would not have complete control.

At least the Bush torture squad has been disbanded. That’s something.
