House Speaker John Boehner has denounced any potential White House effort to close the Guantanamo Bay prison facility, saying that such a move is "dangerous," could result in terrorists being relocated into the United States and that overriding Congress is another example of the Obama administrations legacy of lawlessness.
Boehner made the statement Friday, following a Wall Street Journal story stating the White House is drafting options that would allow Obama to close the detention facility in Cuba by overriding congressional restrictions on bringing detainees into the U.S.
The White House has responded to the story, reportedly based on information from senior administration officials, by saying the president opposes the restrictions but his first choice is to work with members of both parties.

Closing Guantanamo would be about the least dangerous thing Obama has done in recent months. That’s pretty bad.
“Faithfully Execute” fail should yield impeachment. Do we still know the whereabouts of the Bergdahl 5?
Did boehner shed a tear?
Well...as long as they are concerned (rolling eyes)...
Too bad Boehner cannot be bothered to fight on anything else really important, like Amnesty, ISIS, Ebola, etc.
This is what happens when your party leadership has been bought by Corporations and the Chamber of Commerce.
They become traitors to those they were hired to represent, the voters, the citizens.
You are 100% correct. Obama must have come out with that so Boehner could “pivot’.
*rme*
Obama throws Roberts a lifeline in Kansas LOL!
His incompetence is phenomenal.
Oh that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave wanting to close Guantanamo Bay and release the terrorists so they can attack us again is not important? *rme*
“Did boehner shed a tear?”
He will.
” his first choice is to work with members of both parties.”
Obola, Reid, and Boehner? They squish his cojones!
Obama has two purposes: free the detainees and get the bomb to Iran.
All that I've seen lately is about the hiring. With people desperate for good-paying jobs, a lot aren't going to care who populates the prison.
House Speaker John Boehner has denounced any potential White House effort to close the Guantanamo Bay prison facility, saying that such a move is "dangerous," could result in terrorists being relocated into the United States and that overriding Congress is another example of the Obama administrations legacy of lawlessness.Naturally, Obama's cadre of apologists immediately attack Boehner over stuff like this.
So what is Bonehead and McConnell going to do? Cry?
More Kabuki, courtesy of the Uni-party.
Funny how Obama felt obliged to follow the will of the Iraqi parliament
while he ignores the US Congress.
It sounds like this if the first thing that Obama has done that Boehner Did not agree with.
Exactly
