Closing Gitmo: Obama Explains, Americans Reject
Patriot Room ^ | 8-25-09 | Scott Martin

It seems most people are in favor of holding onto our little slice of island paradise, our island retreat from the stress of jihad. Add closing Gitmo to the growing list of harebrained Obama schemes to remake America that are being soundly rejected by the American people...

One of the more interesting things to note about President Obama is that ideas that once sounded fairly reasonable to many people no longer sound so good once he gets into the details.

Lots of good news in the poll results. If Obama had to spend ten minutes explaining why it was a good idea, he couldn't sell water to a thirsty illegal in the Arizona desert...

Sometimes I think that not only does he want to set all of those blood-thirsty terrorists free, but he want to turn Gitmo over to his friend, Fidel, as well.

Reality is a bitch when it is too late to change your vote.

After the Scotland terrorist release there is 0 chance of closing Gitmo. Americans will never let the terrorists out of our hands for fear that another Scottish judge will feel compassion for them.

Closing it will cost 88 million.

Why bother. If the prvious bad publicity that was stoked by the Dems is a problem, why then the Obamassiash will wave a hand and all the nations of the world will bow.
