On Monday, the Obama administration announced that President Obama would veto a defense authorization bill if it did not close down Guantanamo Bay. White House press secretary Josh Earnest explained that the House funding bill would be vetoed principally because
of the irresponsible way that it funds our national defense priorities, but also because of the efforts to prevent the closure [of] the prison at Guantanamo Bay. He added that Democrats would sustain Obamas veto, and defense authorization would die.

I guess the Department of Defense is just going to have to be shut down. Can the Current Occupant afford that?
Keep repassing the appropriation bill retaining the Guantanamo authorization in there, until the other side caves. This is much too important to be left up to petty politics.
exactly...but if you don’t toe the party line and vote more rino’s into office why you’re deranged for considering an anti-establishment candidate.
And now you know why Boehner gave his notice.
You are probably correct.
The knife is on the throat of real Americans,
who actually have a birth certificate,
actually are Americans, and have a valid social security
number, unlike the unvetted First Moslem pRes_ _ent.
Closing Guantanamo is foolish because he’s going to need a place to live after he’s thrown out of office.
He is pushing for a Social War and the resultant ability to stay in office.
SHUT IT DOWN. SHUT IT ALL DOWN until Emperor Zero’s appointed time to leave the White Hut.
Thank you, Jim!
Simple solution. Add de-funding Planned Infanticide to the bill.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Tell the American people Obama defunded the military because Congress wouldn’t go along with releasing terrorists.
Because most of them, particularly the leadership (Boehner and McConnell) are pusillanimous cowards, liars, and traitors.
Senator Cruz would do his presidential aspirations a huge favor by making an issue of this.
Time for the entire Republican Party (presidential candidates, Senators, Representatives, governors, state officials, pundits) to man up and state in no uncertain terms it is unacceptable for the president to hold the defense budget hostage to his plan to turn loose terrorists.
Pass the budget and let him veto it. Pass the same bill again and send it back to him and keep doing it until he signs it. Every time he vetos it tell the American citizens he doesn’t career about their safety. After 5 or 6 cycles he’ll have no choice but to fold. When he does he’ll be broken.
Time for the showdown. If the GOP can’t pull it off on this one they will deserve to go the way of the Whigs.
Does ISIS run the Obama administration?
Probably other Islamic terror groups tell Obama what to do as well.
Just an absolutely pathetic waste of a branch of government.
