An issue that reflects the utter political nature of Barack Obama is this statement, “This legislation specifically impeded our ability to close Guantanamo in a way that I have repeatedly argued is counterproductive to our efforts to defeat terrorism around the world.”
But here, ladies and gents, is the truth as shared by the HASC staff led by Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) “FACT: The President has never submitted a plan for closing Guantanamo Bay. Despite years of campaigning and veto threats, he has never proposed where detainees too dangerous to release might be held, or what he would do with new terrorist captures. The NDAA requests that he submit such a plan. The restrictions on closing GTMO and transferring GTMO detainees to the U.S. are exactly the same as restrictions signed into law by the President every year since 2010.”
This demonstrates the embarrassing mentality of President Obama as he demands something contrary to what he himself signed into law. Furthermore, it is Exhibit One of someone who doesn’t grasp the concept of a Constitutional Republic — as opposed to a constitutional monarchy.

More from our twisted and petty dictator.
So, no raise for our folks in the Military. What an ass.
screw his veto , over rule it
Wouldn’t it be great if every Republican went to the podium and said that line for line. The lamestream press would have to cover it and pin it on nobama. But nah, that would be too much like a team.
It's our Military and Veterans and Wounded Warriors that are suffering and he doesn't even care unless it makes him look good....if I were in the Military under him I would ‘stand down’ they haven't court martialed Bergdhal so why would they court martial any one else?
Snake speaks with forked tongue. What else could we expect from someone who is evil.
I think shutting down the military is a thousand times more dangerous than shutting down the government.
Republicans will act hurt and offended, but mostly stay silent.
I was thinking about this today. He really has become a dictator, and the Democrats are fine with that. Rather than compromise, they can sit back and let Obama veto everything, and never extend a hand to overturn his vetos. And all the while "claim" the GOP will not compromise. The media will 'run interference' for the Rats and never call it what it is. A pure and simple Dictatorship ...
Keep sending up bills for Obama to Veto. One after another. Let the American people see democrats blocking and Obama vetoing legislation.
Raises don’t come out until January. They will get another bill more to his demands. Don’t you worry about that.
