Today I have ordered the release of all prisoners being held in the U S military prison at Guantanamo Bay. I have executed this action because it was both necessary and the right thing to do. For us to imprison folks permanently without trail or legal recourse is against both International law and the American values that we hold so dear.I have asked Congress repeatedly to act on this matter and they have refused. Therefore I have used my authority as both Commander in Chief and Chief Law Enforcement Officer move on this matter and end this clear affront to common decency and International Law.This action will help to restore our standing in the community of nations,reduce unnecessary costs, and finally help end the long,bitter,and fruitless war on terror that we engaged in the past rather than listen to the legitimate concerns of some of our neighbors that we share this planet with. We can now move forward and open dialog with folks who may speak a different language or have a different faith without having to resort to fear based policies that we have used in the past. I believe this will give us the opportunity to move forward as a nation and re channel our resources to more productive measures. In the coming weeks I will be sending to Congress several of my budget proposals. They will have the opportunity to partner with me as we begin to move America forward leaving behind the rhetoric and failed policies of the past. I stand ready to work with the Congress but if the decide to stay mired in the policies of the past and won't do what they need to do I am prepared once again to take action where I must to ensure that we are able to continue our progress to move forward as a nation. Thank you and goodnight!

The king has already defied Congress by releasing prisoners.

[Alberta's Child]

Of the 132 remaining inmates, there is a hard core of perhaps 40 or 50 who, because of the nature of their terrorist activity and their detentions, the United States will never charge with crimes, will never put on trial and will never release.

That's really the problem right there, isn't it? If you're dealing with people who will never be charged with crimes, will never be put on trial, and will never be released, then what the hell was the point of apprehending them at all?

This is where the leftist lawyers who represent this sort of client really have a point.

[rfreedom4u]

And if he does what is Congress going to do about it?

Yell? Stomp their feet? Cry about the abuse of power? And then do absolutely nothing.

[DJ Frisat]

Defy Congress? I think he’s well beyond that. They are irrelevant. He simply does what he wants to do and doesn’t give a damn what Congress thinks. If he were defiant, it would be more contentious.

[dforest]

Obama has already defied Congress on GITMO detainees Byron.

You should already know that.

[arthurus]

How can anything he does be said to “defy” Congress? “Ignore” would be more appropriate. Congress will do nothing that even hints of seeming effective to stop whatever he wants to do.

[null and void]

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.

You tell me, will this accomplish any of the above?

No, then he won't.

Yes, and he will.

[PoloSec]

Any thing that will have an adverse effect on America obama will do it, so far he gets away with everything, with boehner and mcconnel in leadership he will continue to do whatever he wants so long as it furthers the destruction of our Free Republic.

Put them on an AirAsia plane and send them home...
