So when the President says he will close Gitmo?

Are we supposed to believe that he means keep it open indefinitely?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...

Seriously, why do libs love this guy and hate Bush? Every single issue that they hate Bush over, Obama has done the exact same thing.

Gitmo, open with military tribunals

Abandon NOLA in a time of crisis.

Troops in Iraq.

War not going well in Afghanistan

Debt is huge

Jobs are down.

Patriot Act still going (if not strengthened by our fearless leader)

So what is it? Why is he sooooo much better than Bush? Right now....one is taller and the other is older.

    The President is the Commander in chief of the militia. He can order something relating to the U. S. militia and it extremely is a militia placed up. i do no longer think of he will completely close the placed up, purely the penitentiary on it. besides the fact that if it extremely is definitely interior his barriers. the version is he did it so with out postpone. in many situations Presidents and militia advisors take months on issues like this, yet he had worked in the back of the curtain previously he grow to be sworn in. curiously there have been some interior the militia who agreed with him. Gitmo has had a detention center for an prolonged time (undergo in techniques the Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson action picture "some sturdy adult adult males"? It grow to be set there interior the early ninety's) yet Bush ok'd it for the terrorist prisoners. at first it regarded like a sturdy deal till they have been being stored with out any actual costs or trials and curiously being tortured with Bush's ok. sure, Presidents can and do open and close places. actually, there are curiously different prisons set up with the help of the CIA that are going to be closed with the help of President Obama.

    Only two of those are actually things he could've directly ended, Gitmo and the Patriot Act, everything else was muddled when he got there and can't just be ignored.
