"Hope and change" continues its reversals.
Wonder what the "yes we can" screamers would have said about any of this during the campaign?
We read this today from Andrew Malcolm's: Obama prepares to hold Gitmo guys indefinitely, just as Bush did
We are happy that "hope and change" has come to its senses.
Let Mr. Malcolm explain it further:
"According to the Post report, the 44th president is now starting to think that closure of the internationally-reviled Guantanamo Bay detention facility, which Obama announced with so much fanfare on his first day in office last winter, may be impossible to actually accomplish before the one-year deadline he set for himself before actually planning where else to put these prisoners.
In other words, fanfare aside, status quo ante.
Democrat or Republican, same deal.
Ex-Vice President Dick Cheney will be so pleased that the Obama-Biden folks finally accepted his advice to protect national security.
Another sign, finally, of real change after eight long years of the very same thing."
Again, we are happy that Pres BO is putting national security ahead of keeping silly campaign promises to "yes we can" screamers.
My question is this: Who is going to apologize to Pres Bush and VP Cheney?
Who is going to apologize after spending two years claiming that the Bush-Cheney administration was breaking the law?
P.S. We refer you once again to The adolescent angst of Barack Obama By Michael Barone! It's amazing how different the world looks when you are actually responsible for our national security!
