I got to hand it to Obama. He is one smooth talking S.O.B. He stood in the National Archives building in Washington, DC.... just in front of The Declaration of Independence... and gave the most wonderful speech I ever heard.
The Messiah's words echoed through the halls, wrapped in the American flag, dripping with self-righteousness. Chris Matthews must have felt another tingle going up his leg.
Were there any out and out lies? Maybe not.... But lets just say he was less then forthcoming with the facts, starting with this quote.
Instead of giving Bush a pat on the back for keeping us safe since 911 he said this:
"There are no neat or easy answers here," Obama said in a speech in which he pledged anew to clean up what he said was "quite simply a mess, a misguided experiment" at Guantanamo that he had inherited from the Bush administration.
He went on to say:
"In the midst of all these challenges, however, my single most important responsibility as President is to keep the American people safe. It's the first thing that I think about when I wake up in the morning. It's the last thing that I think about when I go to sleep at night. "
I suggest that on the surface this may be true. But when you dig down he is trying to fulfill a campaign promise to far left organizations like Code Pink the left wing Cindy Sheehan's that got him elected. I also believe he cares more about world-wide opinion on Gitmo then he does about the true safety of Americans. Its funny. All the bleeding heart cry baby liberals around the world, including the US, want Gitmo closed; but no one wants the terrorists in their own back yard!
Another quote:
"As we make these decisions, bear in mind the following fact: Nobody has ever escaped from one of our federal, supermax prisons, which hold hundreds of convicted terrorists."
I guess as President of the United States no one informed him that Gitmo is registered as a supermax prison. Mr. Obama no one has ever escaped from Gitmo either; but some released detainee's went on to kill again!
Mr. Obama. As you know we are up to our eyeballs in dept. In large part due to the 787 billion dollar stimulus plan you signed into law that no one bothered to read(10,000 dead people got a check). I don't know if any one told you but Gitmo cost the American taxpayer 200 million dollars to build. It was built for the sole purpose of keeping these butchers where they belong. What do you suggest we do with this Gitmo facility the US taxpayer just paid 200 million dollars for? A low ball estimate of over 100 million dollars is what it is going to take to bring these dogs to the United States. Your own party voted against funding it for Christ's sake! Money is easy to spend when it's not yours... isn't it?
By the way Mr. Obama.
I'm sure you heard about the homegrown terror suspects arrested in NYC. They were going to blow up a temple and shoot down a military plane. All of these guys were in jail on a unrelated charges when they converted to radical Islam. What do you think is going to happen if you introduce 240 Gitmo dogs into our federal prison system??? I'll tell you what it will do. Our federal prisons become a breeding ground for terrorists!
One final note. I noticed you conveniently left out the welfare check any released detainee's will be receiving. Smart move. In this eloquent speech you gave, you blamed Bush for everything. Since your so slippery with the facts you failed to mention why we have not been attacked since 911. There is a reason. Which is it Mr. Obama.... an accident or just a coincidence or maybe waterboarding?
