So far the Presidents plan to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison is not going so well or so it seems. He says that he is going to shut it down which is one of the things he promised to do during his campaign. I believe it to be a asinine plan and I think that most people share the same opinion including President Obama. This man is sly like a fox. Let me explain.
First of all we have to look at what he has said and analyze it a little. Obama says that he will move some of the prisoners from Gitmo to prisons inside the United States and he has faith that they are tough enough to hold even the most dangerous criminals. This sounds peachy but I don’t buy it and neither should he. If I can watch the TV and see that some the biggest gangs in the Unitted States are ran from behind bars I am sure the President has been told the same thing and knows that if he does move the Gitmo bad guys to prisons located in the lower 48 they will enjoy the ability to control and execute there terrorist bad deeds. So he says that he is going to close it down and all the people that voted for him and want the prison to be closed now feel good inside and he keeps his popularity rating.
Second we have to look at who controls the senate and the house. These are the people that say yes or no to something the President wants to do. The Dems have the majority in both therefore making pretty much any thing the president wants to do a sure bet. In theory all he has to do is present it to them and because they share the same beliefs they say yes and it becomes the gospel according to Obama. If that fails however the President has the ability to say poo on all of you and execute his executive power and sign something into law no matter what but that happens on rare occasions.
Now lets look at what has been happening with the whole Gitmo thing. Congress voted down the money needed to close Gitmo therefore bringing it to a stand still and today Obama gets up and gives one of his neurotic asinine speeches that make certain people feel good about voting for him. He says that this fight is not over and he will continue to press forward with his plans but I think we will see it fizzle out perhaps popping it ugly head up now and then but never really getting much momentum.
However this is odd because the congress as I said is controlled by them Dems and they should want to see this happen. They were some of the ones that were crying the loudest when Bush was President saying that the water boarding was horrible and Gitmo was an abuse of power and we need to shut it down!! Now they have suddenly had a change of heart? I don’t think so! I think that perhaps Obama knows it would be suicide to his political career if an act of terror was to take place on American soil during his Presidency and closing down Gitmo and moving the prisoners would increase the likely hood of just that. Therefore he whispered in the right ears in order to get them to vote down his plan for now and he would still retain his hero status in the eyes of his followers. Perhaps I am wrong and I am reading a little to much into this and I should just take it at face value but I believe that Obama and I share the same opinion that closing down Gitmo is a mistake.

hahaha I thought the exact same thing! Why else would congress suddenly decide not to spend money on something, yeah right. They certainly haven't suddenly found any fiscal sense. The whole thing smells like a rotten fish.
