D-Day Disgrace

[rightwinger]

Yea.....who passed a law saying the President could not close Gitmo?

What, you've lost faith in His magical ability to make things happen with His pen and His phone? Do you not realize you've just pointed another of His abject failures?

This cracks me up. I have RW'er on ignore so I only see his pathetic attempts to get paid, er, defend the boy king when someone quotes him. One of my liberal buddies used this same line of "reasoning" a year ago.

"Bu, bu, but the mean Republicans passed a law preventing Obama from closing Gitmo!"

Really? Just how does a party who only influences one third of the government pass a law without it first being approved and passed by the Dem controlled senate then signed into law by the Dem POTUS? How does that work again?

What did I miss in 6th grade civics class?

So just to be clear, Dem Reid got the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 through the Dem Senate and Dem POTUS Obama signed it into law but the accepted Orwellian narrative is it is a law passed only by republicans preventing Obama from closing Gitmo?

"Yea.....who passed a law saying the President could not close Gitmo?"
That would be the President.


President Signs Defense Authorization Act

By Karen Parrish
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2011 – Noting his objection to two of its provisions, President Barack Obama signed the fiscal 2011 defense authorization act into law Jan. 7.

The Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 is named for former U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, longtime chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who lost his House seat in November’s election.

“The act authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy programs,” the president wrote in a statement accompanying the signing’s announcement.

Obama registered “strong objections” to two of the act’s provisions related to transfer of detainees from the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. One prohibits the use of funds appropriated by the act to transfer Guantanamo detainees into the United States, and the other bars the use of certain funds to transfer detainees to the custody or effective control of foreign countries unless specified conditions are met.

But despite his objections to the two sections, the president said in his statement, “I have signed this act because of the importance of authorizing appropriations for, among other things, our military activities in 2011.”

The act governs a wide range of Defense Department activities, including procurement; research, development, testing and evaluation; equipment operation and maintenance; military personnel authorizations and policy; and reserve-component management.

Bush gambled with our soldiers and lost big time

He thought he could send the mightiest Army on earth into Iraq and the Iraq Army would collapse after offering a token fight. Once that happened the Iraqi people would treat us as liberators and Bush would be a savior

Bushs advisors did a horrible job of anticipating the expected Civil War and it cost us 5000 lives

THAT is what a disgrace is

What you said did happen. What may have been not factored in is how murderous the Muslims could be. They did most of the killing.

Wait a minute...

Are you claiming Bush didn't know there were Muslims in Iraq?

Bush poisoned the well with Gitmo

Botched evidence, denial of rights and torture made it impossible to try them in a court of law

As usual, he left his mess for Obama

Who has proved His inability to clean up anything or to do anything at all right with the exceptions of apologizing and groveling.

1. Stopped the Bush Depression
2. Saved the auto and financial industries
3. Ended the war in Iraq
4. Will finish Afghanistan this year
5. Killed Bin Laden

1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.

2.Real household income is down 5%

3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%

4. Total federal debt is up 58%

5. Gasoline prices are up 82%

6. Food stamp recipients up 49%

7. Debt held by the public is up 89%

However, the Obama administration recently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.
As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.
The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.
The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.

8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

THAT is what a disgrace is

Early in the occupation of Iraq two key decisions were made that gravely
jeopardized US chances for success in Iraq: (1) the decision to bar from
government work Iraqis who ranked in the top four levels of Sadam’s Baath
Party or who held positions in the top three levels of each ministry; (2) the
decision to disband the Iraqi Army and replace it with a new army built
from scratch. These two fateful decisions were made against the advice of
military and CIA professionals and without consulting important members
of the President’s staff and cabinet.

Kind of depressing, too.

frankly, you still don't understand why Obama won.

The problem is not so much that Obama won.

It's that America lost.

And will keep on losing until he's gone.

At the very least.
