Obama administration expanding use of Guantánamo Bay

[Bones]

What a bold faced, platitude spewing, sellout of a liar Obama turned out to be. Though it's hardly a shock anymore considering he's lied about the majority of his promises. The white house should be dipped into a giant vat of acid. Off the lot of those lobbyist/corporate/banking whores.

Obama administration expanding use of Guantánamo Bay: report | Raw Story

Forget closing Guantánamo Bay -- President Barack Obama has reportedly green-lighted a plan to begin charges against new detainees at the controversial off-shore prison for the first time under his administration.

"The Obama administration is preparing to increase the use of military commissions to prosecute Guantánamo detainees, an acknowledgment that the prison in Cuba remains open for business after Congress imposed steep new impediments to closing the facility," the New York Times reported.

Administration officials told the newspaper they were preparing military tribunal trials for several suspected terrorists at the prison, signaling a major policy shift for Obama in the face of high pressure from Congressional Republicans and numerous Democrats.

The ban would soon be officially lifted by Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

If he cuts the budget and deficit as well as sign ObamaCare repeal I would vote for him.

You didn't honestly think Obama was telling you the truth all along now do you? Why, if you're admitting that he has been telling lies, maybe the rest of us who said Obama was lying all along should get an apology from you liberal Democrat types. Welcome to the land of enlightenment.

Finally something I can applaud Obama for! Good job Big O!

You mean like change the TP supported candidates promised?

They all make promises, the test is who keeps them. I see lots of re-elected congress people that have not kept their promises.

If they do not keep their promises will you vote for them next time or take a chance on their opponent even if a different party?
Best yet support a primary contender in your own party.

Or maybe he thought he could, but then realized once he took office, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Because when I voted for him, I was a senior in high school and didn't know shit from shinola.


Liberal democrat types? There is no such thing in this country in terms of political parties. You have far rights and center rights. There is no left. The democrat party isn't communist or socialist or any of that horseshit the media spews out day to day. It's a center right party who sucks corporate/banker dick almost as much as the republicans do.

Is a puzzlement.

"off" them?

Didn't you just post a thread about Glen Beck's violent suggestion?

Its easy to make promises on the campaign trail.

Its kinda tough when you win the prize and then realize everything isn't as cut and dried or as black and white as you thought it was.

Welcome to the real world Barry Boy.

We on the right would argue that the political parties are far left and left and that yes, the Democrat Party represents Communism and Socialism.

But I think we both agree that Both parties "suck corporate/banker dick". That's why a lot of us gravitate towards the T.E.A. Party. Well, as long as they don't get co-opted as well.
