Don't you think he would understand the implications before he made this
his first proclamation over a year ago?


Obviously not. Yet, he's still intent upon closing down the operation. I
call it persistence in the face of hard problems.



As the new POTUS he should have known. He was grandstanding. Were his
advisers too busy digging into less important matters?


Ah, so he's supposed to be all-knowing and all-seeing. I get it. Do you
suppose there ?might? be more pressing matters? Like, say, just as a
strawman, the MELTDOWN of the economy, caused by years of neglect and pimped
by Bush for the previous 7 years? Or, maybe that millions go into
foreclosure due to medical bills? Or, perhaps those two pesky wars, one of
which was totally unjustified?

I'm betting you cut GWB some slack, but not Obama. I wonder why?


The situation in Gitmo is clear. He had no business running his mouth
off with no intention of following through. Your second statement is
evidence that you agree but there is no need to cut him "some slack" for
incredibly poor judgment.

This has nothing to do with GWB and his failures, or successes, so your
deflection failed.
