WHEN IS OBAMA GOING TO BE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD HE HELD BUSH TO?

108 Days into Barack Obama’s administration his largest campaign promise still goes unfulfilled. He promised that closing Gitmo would be his administration’s top and first priority! He swore that the illegal, immoral holding of hostages there was a disgrace to the Bush administration and robbed America of the moral authority to say "terrorism is bad"! Other Democrats, starting with Harry Reid compared Gitmo to the gulag and other atrocities like those committed by Pol pot. However, now that Obama is president, you’ve heard no more complaints about this. No more America-bashing using Gitmo as the excuse. In fact, Obama and the Democrats seemed to have warmed up quite a bit to Guantanamo. Conservative Americans predicted this long before the election. In fact it was entirely predictable. Anyone who voted for Obama because this was an issue for them was not a clear thinker. And for my Gitmo-hating liberal friends, here’s how clear thinking goes on this issue. Your man becomes president and fulfills his promise to close Guantanamo. All you have to do is ask yourself just how would that look in practice. And here’s how it would look:

1. The spectacle of terrorists being set free on the streets of America would be nearly enough to ruin the Messiah’s public opinion polls.

2. If, God forbid, there were to be another terrorist incident on our soil anytime after their release, the blame would be laid squarely on Obama and his weakness on terror.

So Obama promised during the campaign he would close Gitmo, knowing his Leftist supporters would not have the intellectual capacity to figure this out. Then he knew when he got into office he could keep them appeased by signing an order to close it, while at the same time leaving it open.

Now the Attorney General has come out and said they will not release any "real" terrorists from Guantanamo. And he admits there are some real terrorists there. Since no other country is willing to take them (whatever happened to all the cooperation we were going to get after Obama’s election), that means Gitmo will have to stay open permanently.

Something I predicted. Something Rush Limbaugh predicted. Something any clear thinking individual could have predicted.  In fact, you can use this as a test to determine how clearly you think.  Did you know this would happen?  If so, you are a clear thinker!
