First of all, who counseled Team Obama against closing Gitmo? I don’t recall anything but wall to wall proclamations from Obama himself about how he was going to shut it down. So if there were advisors, they apparently knew a lot more about governing than Obama did.

But the big admission is that they had no plan. When you elect a guy who has never run so much as a lemonade stand to be president, you can’t expect to have him succeed, never mind excel, at a job as complex as that of President of the United States.

Of course no failure of the Obama administration would be complete without blaming George W. Bush for his part in the debacle.

I am sure everyone remembers Bush and his pals all talking about closing Guantanamo Bay all year last year, right? Uh, well it slips my memory, but I am sure we have video of Bush and Obama at a press conference talking about the bipartisan plan to close Gitmo. Anybody seen that?

I didn’t think so.

pardon me while I sneer in the general direction of the Gitmo Freaks.

Or they can volunteer to have one of the "political prisoners" from Gitmo stay in their spare room - either way its fun

"lemonade stand,"

This is consistent with their other "plans". All that "change" language and no thoughts about implementation and results.

And considering the terrorist activities that are being uncovered NOW might mean it's still going to be a useful place.
