Seeking to dampen criticism of his handling of the War on Terror and the Internal Revenue Service's selective intrusion into the views of his political opponents, President Obama announced that the detention center at Guantanamo would be closed and it's inmates “redistributed as seems most appropriate.”
While it is expected that a majority of the detainees will be repatriated to the Middle Eastern Hell-holes from whence they came, those with exemplary skills are likely to be transferred to positions within the IRS.
“The fact that people are openly criticizing the IRS is the best evidence we have that it has failed in its mission,” Obama said. “Obviously, the fear of being harassed and audited is insufficient to induce the level of compliance needed. If properly armed and aimed the most fanatical of the Gitmo detainees could ramp up the pressure to levels that only the tiniest few could resist.”
The President sought to reassure that “those in full compliance with IRS directives need have no concerns for their own safety. The Gitmo detainees will be working under the close supervision of higher authorities under my control. Only those who have deviated from the required path will be targeted.”
In related news, Larry Conners, an anchorman for KMOV in St. Louis, was fired for publicly questioning whether the IRS targeted him after he asked President Obama some tough questions in an interview last year. KMOV president and general manager Mark Pimentel called the firing “a simple precautionary move. There's no sense in us exposing everyone at KMOV to possible IRS retaliation. Better safe than sorry.”

LOL! Ain't that the truth!
I wonder if this is an “administrative” transfer with pay.
They used to say, ‘life imitates art’.
Now they say, ‘reality imitates satire’. (or they should)
Gitmo inmates would make excellant hand maids to Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, and the rest of the vermin in DC.
Maybe you should call your series ‘THE REAL NEWS-JUST BEFORE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS’ ?
Just the other day, someone had a satire piece about Obama promoting the criminals involved in these scandals. Almost ten seconds later, Obama announced the promotion of Victoria Nuland.

He’s doing that so he can drone them when they join the fight again, that way he gets to close Guantanamo. I say, drone em in there, like shooting fish in a fishbowl?
He’s closing Guantanamo because they are building a luxury facility to house the ‘inmates’ here in the US.
Flash they’re being transferred to Chi-town to work in the IRS offices as investigators.
You suppose Barry is trying to change the subject?
IRS; Benghazi; Rosen and AP spying.
WE’LL BE BACK , BABY
