It appears that the liberal Democrat posters have aborted this discussion.

Apparently, Obama was just joking when he did it.
He evolved his position.

You do realize Congress has placed into ever military spending bill a clause not allowing him to close gitmo?


He has the authority to re-station any personnel there without Congressional approval. Not sure about the prisoners though. Along those lines though, he hasn't let things like laws stop him from rewriting time frame on various ACA implementations even though that's exclusively the territory of Congress (due to the wording in the ACA that sets specific dates).

LINK I just love how conservatives block closure then ask WHY DOESNT OBAMA CLOSE GITMO?! And you sheeple take the bait every time.

As if.

If he really wanted it he'd whip congress into shape. Either he changed his mind or else it sunk very low on his priority list. So it gives him a convenient excuse.

Even if Congress didn't block it, there is no easy way out of that situation.


Then he didn't need to be running his mouth in the first place.

It would appear that Caesar is guilty of exactly what he accused Mitt Romney of...shooting first, aiming later.

One of the few campaign promises I actually hoped he would implement.

And an even better example would be the fools who were stupid enough to vote for a dumb azz person because of his rants, rants which the media let stand.


We have this dummy because we have ignornat people voting.

you're saying Obama went back on his word... As if to say he could close it if he wanted to close it
He most certainly DID go back on his word. If he didn't know how to get it done, he shouldn't have promised it in the first place.
