Not as easy as he thought it would be.

Story via Yahoo

Who will now speak up and defend this policy, as the closure was a campaign promise (now BROKEN, folks)?

Yes, I think it is broken. I checked my bet with Gawain just yesterday. I won't have lost until the end of next year, but I do consider him to have failed on this file.

Chirp, chirp-Where are the defenders of the left proving to us that this isn't yet another flip flop?



You won't get that - facts are facts, you'll only get people slamming posteres for their creative use of spelling to insult their idols.

I tend to lean a little left, and generally like Obama, but I won't defend his handling of Guantanamo. It should have been closed immediately, and I'm very disappointed that he couldn't find the stones to do it. He has certainly broken this promise.

In all fairness, you have to admit "ZerObama" is really lame.

New Boss . . . same as the Old Boss.

I'll take "Who's Just Like Bush" for 500 Alex.

My feeling as well. I'm very unhappy about this. This was a "core ideological" promise he should have kept, and about which I felt strongly. I feel that, not having kept it, Obama owes us (who voted for him) as detailed an explanation as genuine national security will permit.

On this issue, he's just like Bush.



Not just this issue, but a lot of shit coming out of the Justice Department, too.

The quality of your denigrations is declining precipitously. You guys really need a better writer.



Really? I thought it was kinda lame/clever, but then I made it up myself. I didn't crib stuff I'd seen in the media like "Shrub" or "Lush Rimjob", et cetera.

"Cindy Sheehan....paging Cindy Sheehan to the white courtesy phone..."

I'm sure that kallend, Zon and the rest of the crew will be along shortly, calling for Obama's impeachment for war crimes.

Just because he does the same things they condemned of the last president, doesn't mean they will speak out against Obama now. Come on - you know how it works.

Trying people under military tribunals is not a war crime. It is a broken promise, but not against the law of war.

Torturing them, however, is. If you have evidence that Obama is sanctioning torture, please provide it.

No. More likely, after being called out on doing the same things they accuse others of doing (not playing the ball) they will ignore this thread hoping that everyone forgets their glaring inconsistency. Or at best will respond to a post like this one that allows them to ignore the original topic.

So the indefinite detainment isn't an issue anymore? Well, *that's* certainly a relief. Amazing how that works once a Dem is in office.

Personal attacks are any variation on the theme of "you're an idiot."

Personal attacks

It is important to realize that a personal attack is any attack (slurs, insults, denigrations, implications about their mothers, etc) or threat against another poster. Any such attack is not permitted here. This is true even if you are absolutely, 100% sure that the poster is stupid, or ignorant, or childish, or an ass. It doesn't matter if you think it is true or not, or even if you can prove they are an ass. You can't post such messages here. If you feel it is important to post such things, unmoderated forums like rec.skydiving do not have any such restrictions.

Clever insults that attempt to get around the above (i.e. "I like rabbits" "anyone who likes rabbits and posts here is an idiot") will result in the same sort of bans/locks/thread deletions that a personal attack will.

I eat babies, too. I didn't under Bush, but now that Obama eats babies, I think it is A-OK!



I believe that there are a LOT of Obama believers that would.
