Gitmo

One year ago Obama declared he was closing Gitmo within the year. The time has come and gone and Gitmo remains open. Perhaps in his gusto to show his authority he rushed this proposal before researching how to go about this task. Be that his macho pride, fool hardy determination or extreme lack of experience,the job was going to be more difficult than he gave Bush credit for.

Obama was quick to place blame on Bush, as he has done for everything that has occurred in the past 8 years. How easy it is to stand on the other side and pass judgement, but once he was placed in office and took the reins he needs more than a lot of hot air to do what he thought should be done.How easy it is to play the blame game, but he obviously doesn't have a plan of his own.I wonder if the next President will blame everything on the improper handling by Obama. "What goes around, comes around".

Closing Gitmo is a huge problem, so why did Obama jump in with this determination to do so? Is this his tough guy, let me show you what I can do image,or is this his God complex that he can perform that which no one else can? In any event, this will create an enormous problem of what to do with these detainees. Allowing them to lawyer up is the nuttiest part of this. What rules are being followed that allows enemy combatants the rights as citizens?

This year has shown this man is not ready for the daunting task of being President. It takes more than a lot of speech reading, parties at the White House, flying around on Air Force One, and bowing to foreign kings to be a real leader.He has apologized for America all over the world, insulted our allies, and ignored friends like Israel. The man is in over his head.

The elections in Va. NJ and Ma have shown that the people are angry. Promises were made and they have not been kept. Lies were told, closed door meetings instead of the transparency that was guaranteed.Obama said he didn't do a good job in telling us what was good for us. We heard, we just aren't buying. All in all, Obama is not the man for the job.

Hopefully the next three years will pass quickly so we can get a serious candidate qualified to do the job can come in and clean up his mess.
