The Pubs pressured for the sensible thing. But if it were I, I would be tempted to vote for the funding, leaving Obama no excuse when he ends up with egg on his face at the end of the year.
This just represents “that man’s” realization he better not close that prison. Course, now that a brutha is in charge, they’ll stop torturing and persecuting the prisoners.
Yes. Now, if Congress continues to withhold funding, Obama wins anyway. Why? “I tried to close Gitmo - just like I promised - and end the torture, BUT CONGRESS WOULDN’T LET ME.”
Wasn’t the Executive Order closing Gitmo pretty wishy-washy to begin with?
Just more government games if you ask me.
