Republican lawmakers are calling on the Obama administration to produce a plan for closing the Guantanamo Bay detention center as Attorney General Eric Holder struggles to find new homes in Europe for the prison's detainees.

I would prefer to ask the teleprompter. At least it has a functioning brain.

Send ‘em back. I’m not afraid they’ll be tortured or executed in their own home countries. It’s where they belong.

Send them back overseas via cargo plane. Kick them out of the plane and get the hell airbourne again. Not very mature of me but the tea party comments by terrorist lover in chief have angered me, thus no sympathy for his little Gitmo buddies.

I disagree.

Shame and embarrassment usually work.

So does fear.

The Dems in Congress will not be marching in lockstep, with Obama, for very much longer.
