Barack Obama admits that GITMO won’t close in January
Barack Obama has finally admitted what everyone, except those on the far left, already knew; GITMO will not be closing in January or any time soon for that matter.
He is now saying that he hopes to close down the detention center sometime next year. No promises though, he is refusing to set another deadline– I guess he learned his lesson about setting unreasonable deadlines on this issue. Of course he is already claiming that it is not his fault that he may not close down GITMO next year, he is already blaming congress.
I’m not going to set an exact date because a lot of this is also going to depend on cooperation from Congress
While it may be true that congress denied him the funding to close down GITMO by the end of this year, and may deny him the funds to do so next year, the fault still lies with Obama. They are denying him these funds because he does not have a plan. He signed this executive order without studying the situation and is only now admitting that it is “also just technically hard.” He should have thought about that before he recklessly signed the order to close GITMO. He could have spared himself of this embarrassment. But he was too interested in throwing the far left a bone and so he signed the order assuming he could figure out how to implement it afterwards. Even the Democrat controlled congress would have nothing to do with that foolish notion.
What I find the most interesting about this revelation is how the same far left that was clamoring for the closure of GITMO is suddenly silent on this issue now that it Barack Obama that failed them.













Yep, and then they can blame it back on him, and they can blame it on the blue dogs and repubs. The bus won’t know which way to turn. I had a feeling this would be the case. I have one thing to say to pres. Oba-Mao about this—- *yawn*……
