Greg Craig, the top in-house lawyer for President Barack Obama, is getting the blame for botching the strategy to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison by January — so much so that he’s expected to leave the White House in short order.
But sources familiar with the process believe Craig is being set-up as the fall guy and say the blame for missing the deadline extends well beyond him.
Instead, it was a widespread breakdown on the political, legislative, policy and planning fronts that contributed to what is shaping up as one of Obama’s most high-profile setbacks, these people say.

So... was he the guy who told Obama “Yes, we can!” about shutting GTMO by January 2010?
One more yes we can man, under the bus.

If this bears out, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

yes, and if they relax the embargo somebody can go over and give Elian the good news in person!

He should be fired for his name - that’s just wrong, kinda like Dick Dickerson.

Orly Taitz , Leo Donofrio et al are closing in.
It's not about health care ... it's about zero's impending impeachment and removal.

Gee, I’m all tore up. From what I know he was a very loyal Demmie. Someone ought to tell bammy that firing clintonistas may be bad for his health.

“...what is shaping up as one of Obama’s most high-profile setbacks...”

Craig is Castro’s favorite.
Zero better have his Cuban cigars stockpiled.

This guy has no idea of what's going on and what needs to be done. All he wants to do is read speeches in front of adoring crowds and fainting people. He is so far in over his head, it would not surprise me to see him just walk away. It is not all that far fetched for him to do that.
