Obama Readies Biggest Reach of Presidential Power Yet
Yahoo Finance ^ | 1 hour ago | The Fiscal Times - By Martin Matishak

With only 14 months left in office, President Obama is set to issue an executive order in what could be the most aggressive use of his authority to date: unilaterally closing the federal detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

“At this point, I would not take anything off the table in terms of the president doing everything that he can to achieve this critically important national security objective,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters earlier this month during a briefing.

The administration is likely to submit a plan for how it would shutter the controversial site to Congress in the next few weeks, if not days. There are still 112 detainees at Guantanamo, of whom 53 have been deemed eligible for transfer.

Do you think Boehner and McConnell have been meeting with the Commie-in-Chief secretly? If so, what do you think they agreed to?

We only receive notification via the Democrat media after the deal has been reached.

'There are still 112 detainees at Guantanamo, of whom 53 have been deemed eligible for transfer.'

Give them Washington D.C. cabbie licenses and I could be sold on supporting their release.

When British intelligence took a surreptitious DNA sample from our President, they were completely surprised to find that it was 80% Asian, 10% Negro, and 10% Caucasian.

I suspect you don’t know who in the Hell is his real Dad.

It’s way past time for massive non-compliance with this little $hit’s “exective orders”.

Congress is afraid they’ll be called “racists” for protecting the American people from an out of control, dangerously rogue president.

In other words, the cowards are good for absolutely nothing.

His mother was 100% white. How could Obama be only 10% white? Wouldn’t he be at least 50% white?

Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro was his stepmother.

The President has referred to himself as a Jakarta street kid and stated at a medical seminar in 2008 that he was 51-years old.

Do the math. That means he was born in 1957.

She is not his biological mom.

I thought I read Supermax in Colorado. There, they will be able to “preach” to other inmates.

Perhaps that’s part of the plan.

He likes chaos. He associated with radicals. He praised radicals. He was supported by radicals.

We all knew what could happen 7 years ago. Very few in America listened.
