March 2002: President Bush authorizes the indefinite detention of enemy combatants.
April 2010: President Obama keeps that program intact.
Watch as the left heads explode:
The White House is considering endorsing a law that would allow the indefinite detention of some alleged terrorists without trial as part of efforts to break a logjam with Congress over President Barack Obama’s plans to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday…Civil liberties advocates and many who back Obama’s effort to close Guantanamo have opposed a preventive detention law as a departure from the tradition of prosecuting and punishing individuals for specific crimes.

I can see Obama making the calculation that by throwing Holder under the bus, backing off on KSM trial and Gitmo he thinks he can regain the Independents, whereas he’s already lost the far-left loons, never to return.

Bye bye Obama.
