By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base (Guantánamo) and promptly to close detention facilities at Guantánamo, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice.

He's as reliable about this as he is reliable about everything else.

Come to think of it, where are our resident socialists and their protests over their Great Pretender not doing what he promised in his first campaign to do?

 

Regarding the "nuclear option" the Democrats took in the Senate today, the Great Pretender said the change was needed to deal with Republicans' "unprecedented pattern of obstruction ... For the sake of future generations, we can't let it become normal." -- apparently forgetting that, prior to Democrats' blockade of ten circuit court nominees put forth by President Bush beginning in 2003, no presidential nominee had been denied office via filibuster in the history of the U.S. Senate.

 

"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

"I think when you spread the wealth around I think it’s good for us."

"I do think at is certain point you’ve made enough money."

"The truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech and we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given. The point we were simply given we don’t want barbed wire running through Jerusalem."

Which, I'm sure, made Israel "eternally grateful" to have such a "staunch ally" as the United States as ruled ... er, led ... by Empe .... uh ... the Great Pretender.

And the "constitutional scholar" said in 2008 ...

"That generally the constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can’t do to you. It says what the federal government can’t do to you but it doesn’t say what the state government or the federal government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted and one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power about which you bring redistributive change."

How'd he get elected after uttering that mish-mash of illogic that, quite essentially, revealed his intent to establish socialism in the U.S.?
