re: Has President Obama ever publicly explained why he hasn't closed Gitmo yet?

Not to my knowledge. A huge campaign promise that his base wanted yet has never taken him to task on.

Because the US Senate voted almost unanimously to make it illegal and as much as the base on both sides of the aisle at times wishes America was a dictatorship we have checks and balances?

Ah, thanks. Things president doesn't mention anymore:
Gitmo
Cash for clunkers
Cash for Clunkers was a temporary program that lasted like 9 months and was never intended to be permanent why would he mention it now?

Well that's just flat out not true

I have not seen it, but nobody seems to raise the issue publicly anymore, so maybe he explained it a while back.
Seems like a pretty clear promise that he ought to account for somehow.
Nowhere to put the prisoners. Seriously, keep up dude.

Grown ups on both sides actually know that "campaign promises" usually require cooperation from Congress.

Sorry, but did Obama also promise he was going to force all the Democrats to vote in lock step with him? I missed that one. Got a link?
Hey how come the Republicans didn't eliminate the EPA last time they had control of Congress? Is it because they hate freedom?

this was the first sign for me that he wasn't near the liberal savior we thought he was and really he's just yet another neocon corporatist continuing Bush policies.
Yet you probably still voted for him in 2012.

O & Holder are still trying to figure out a way to call the place racist so Al can go down there, march and help close it.

So you're saying Obama was either so naive or full of himself that he didn't know or recognize how politics works when he made that promise? If you say so.

It must have been the obstructionist republican minority in 2008-09 or Bush. Take your pick.

If he keeps trading prisoners at a 5:1 ratio, there will be no need to close it because it will be empty. How many Americans are being held by ISIS? 20?
Liquidation sale!

Just because you and your friends may have discussed it and there was 1 NYT editorial on it does not equate to his base holding him accountable for a major campaign promise.
