One big victory by Republicans in 11th hour negotiations to avert government shutdown was a policy rider banning President Obama from closing Guantanamo Bay, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirms.

The inclusion of the provision goes against a key campaign pledge of Obama’s and comes after Attorney General Eric Holder signaled the battle over the issue was lost several weeks ago.

Well, it seems obvious Chairman O's priorities are:

1) Avoid paying the military during any government shutdown - at all cost.

2) Avoid defunding Planned Parenthood - at almost any cost.

3) Avoid shutting down the government.

4) Avoid shutting down Gitmo.

5) Avoid cutting benefits to those who pay little or no taxes.

What is the the thought behind this on Cry Babys part? It seems Bongo came to this realization on his own. Now he can claim the Repubs were holding the Nation hostage with the budget and he had to relent against his better judgment so the Country wouldn't shut down.
