unlikely that President Obama will fulfill his promise to close it before his term ends in 2013.

He made that promise? I don't recall him saying he would close it by 2013.

It’s the NYT; their facts are flexible.

IIRC it was within one year of taking office, a very hard and fast commitment.

But, then, klintoon committed to getting US troops out of the Balkans "by Christmas" well over a decade ago.

dim-0-crats must use convenient clocks?

O'Bongo said he'd close it "immediately" if he became president, back when he was first campaigning for the office. Problem is, he's still campaigning for the office now, two years after having usurped the seat he is Constitutionally ineligible to hold.

It's going to take a Hazmat team weeks to get the stench of this butt-bandit, this ass-monkey, this crease-weasel out of our White House once he's dragged out of there kicking and screaming by the Marine detail which serves the Office of the President.

When Palin beats him in '12 (assuming he's still around as the Democrat candidate by then, and not in jail with Blago, Rezko, Ayers and Dorn... [WOW! That sounds like a scumbag Chi-town law firm, doesn't it? Or maybe a coked-up, sissified, openly gay 60's acoustic rock band?]), I've got a smooth grand that says he throws a hissy and refuses to leave.

Bukkaki O'Bunga, The Crease Weasel. Kind of has a ring to it, dunnit? LOL One of my better nicknames for the anal douche, if I do say so myself.

And I do.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Exactly. He promised he'd close it in his first year.

[cranked]

He did not make that promise.....the promise was to close it this year....
