Obama’s Post-Election Body Blows. Just a handful of days after the last election to take place during his administration, Barack Obama has started unleashing his “inner Liberal” with a pair of decisions gift-wrapped for his most extreme supporters. First comes news that Obama has rejected the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Now we are learning that the Pentagon has drafted plans to close Guantanamo Bay, and ship the remaining terrorists held there to facilities in the US. This would fulfill a campaign promise he made all the way back in 2008.
I wonder how many more of these little nuggets of liberalism we will have to deal with between now and Jan. 20th, 2017?

Frankly, I’m waiting for the gun control executive action to drop but I anticipate he will wait until he is a little closer to exiting the WH door to facility his bolt before he pulls that one from his bag of unconstitutional tricks.
why not close Guantanamo? Only a radical republican would be against consolidating facilities and cutting costs. The same voices against the closure are the one in favor of unwanted battle ships, hand-outs to wall street bankers, and redundancy throughout all levels of giv’t. Enough with the uncontrolled spending.
Would it cut cost? They will have to build a super max for terrorists on US soil… which will then get the liberal US Courts involved–they might not have complete jurisdiction over a military base… but put that super max in Nevada and the 9th Circuit will surely find that it has a say in providing those terrorists rights out their bottoms.. Building a super max is not cheap.
Why would a new facility be needed? we have plenty of existing space
