I want someone from Barry’s admin to explain in detail how this makes us safer.

Boy, the Press really jumped on that statement and hounded the press agent for clarification didn't they?

Absolutely amazing how they hammered away on that and just would not give up.

Is there a poll about appointing Hillary/Bill with huge conflicts of interest and Tim Geithner a tax cheat to his cabinet? Tell your elected NO to both appointments...

The decision is downright dangerous. it sends the Jihadists precisely the wrong message when we have them hiding in holes in the gorund to date.

Obama is not stupid...he knows what he is doing. We are seeing the war on terror end and it will revert now to much more of a diplomatic, foggy bottom, touchy feely approach which got us into the mess in the first place.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS

IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

Now he is faced with bringing these folks onto American soil for trial and possibly having to release them here.

What an absolute fool Obama is. I'm sure the release of any of these men in country will try to be done without any press coverage. The media may actually go along with this, since most of them agree with his policy. The first act of terrorism by a released detainee will incite such hatred for the administration and for the assistant media that we may actually see a civil war in our time.

I guess I just don't understand why closing Gitmo is such a high priority. What is the issue with it? Move it to another offshore location with a different name ... what does that accomplish? Or is it that we want a new policy whereby we take no prisoners? If it is a question of how we're proceeding there, why not just look into the policies and determine what needs to be changed/corrected? I must be missing something enormous since so many folks have it as their rallying cry.

Boy, talk about not having an exit strategy.

He does not a clue what the baddest of the bad are being held for there. He has no clue how these terrorist will be incarcerated when they do leave, or even if they will. The lawyers will demand the same rights for them as an American citizen, they may be out on bail. They may have legal access to the files on them which gives away intelligence secrets.

To the extent people knew his real leanings many voted for him like idiots anyway.

I was positive bambi couldn't win the election because he needed the votes of many people who voted for Bush in 04. Well, he got them, and now I am slowly learning who these types are. They disliked Kerry, not because he was a leftist but because he was a dork. They liked bambi, despite the fact that he is a leftist, because they think of him as cool. This truly was an American idol election. What a bunch of complete idiots.

He's only doing what his foreign handlers require him to do. Remember, he's the enemy within. A Trojan Horse.

If they are really transferred to the mainland, I wonder how long it’ll be before someone tries to spring them, either by direct action or hostage exchange. Beslan anyone?

Let’s break down the Messiah’s decisions thus far: tax cheating secretary of the treasurey, corrupt secretary of state, closed Guantanomo, froze trials for terrorists, advisor wants contracts for non-white people, and his benediction was racist......anything I am missing?

Ah, the good old days. I remember a president coming in with great promise, promised and ran on change, young people were excited for him and voted for him, the press loved him. Yep. I remember this scene.

The president was Jimmy Carter

No offense, but its not the President’s job to run the country or make his decisions according to polls.

That said, if he doesn’t have someplace to go with these clowns (like shallow graves in a lonely place...), it IS a stupid decision.

He doesn't have a clue as to what the heck he is doing, period. He is totally messed up in the head and needs to be committed to a mental institute, immediately. I have serious doubts that he will hold up (mentally) more than one month from now. He is a fake who is surrounded by people who are using him to advance their own agenda. In other words he is a brainless empty suit of a president in name only. A puppet. When the little men in the white suits come to get him, I will be celebrating. The only thing is my celebration will be short lived because the one next in line will be almost as bad.

Newt Gingrich was on Greta last night, said he had a poll that 97% of people do not want a tax cheater (Geithner) in the cabinet.

I'd like to see the poll again, right after the next attack on our country. And I do believe we'll have one, but hey! I'm not the only one....didn't Biden say we'd be tested? So let's hold off on this poll until we see what the ramifications really are.
