Obama is smooth...

Obama is scared of Newt, don't mind the Conga line at the White House tonight. Go ahead & nominate Gingrich. LMFAO!

Just a few months ago the blame-Obama crowd was denying the existence of Project Gunrunner, trying to make it look like Eric Holder came up with this whole idea himself. Turns out the Bush administration set the precedent and executed it with the usual Bush aplomb; i.e. mission not accomplished.

If you actually followed this issue you know he intended to and he tried. But the two houses have to approve and a State has to be found that will accept the prisoners. After much obstructionism, Gitmo remains. Does obama still intend to get rid of it? In this state of deadlock intent is irrelevant.

There are about 102 Federal prisons in America. Both the DOD (Department of Defense) and the DOJ (Department of Justice), which includes the Bureau of Prisons, fall under the Executive branch. Therefore obama could have the jurisdictions changed from the DOD to the DOJ and move the detainiees to already established Federal Prisions. On March 7, 2011, he signed an executive order that made into law the practice of holding said detainees indefinitely.

why are we debating this. it isn't a republican vs. democrat issue at all. i'm just going to toss this one out there...if it was john kerry that ended the war or pushed through health care, or did anything obama did, it would be tolerable. most republicans can't stand the fact that there is a nigger in the white house that isn't a janitor or security guard.

there i said it.

most of the hate for obama comes from the fact that he is black.

Black has nothing to do with it. BTW he's only half black.

Believe it or not it's his policies, not skin color that I don't like.

in any presidential election, i vote for the dude that scares me the least. i'll take obama's ineffective GOP appeasing policies over anyone in the republican field. in the words of the great lewis black...its the choice between the party of no ideas (democrats) and the party of bad ideas (republicans).

that said for comedic purposes...i have to look at the state of the US today as opposed to 2008. I find that we are politically, financially and socially more stable than we were before Obama took office and though he has had missteps, overall, he has done better than his predecessor AND if given a 2nd term where he doesn't have to be such a centrist, i'd like to see what he can do. What makes voting for obama so easy for me this year despite the fact that I don't agree with about 50% of his/the DNC planks, is that I agree SIGNIFICANTLY less with mitt/newt/ron/rick etc on issues outside the size of the federal government, so here's hoping Obama gets re-elected.

Right...It was Bush's fault. I think we got it. We've heard it for 3 1/2 years now.
As you know, the project did in fact begin under Bush with a small budget, and a handful of people with good intentions....stop the flow of illegal guns to the cartels. In 2008 ( hey...what a coincidence that's when Holder-Obama took over) it ballooned to a 21 million dollar, 200 employee boondoggle ( thanks to all that stimulus money) and has resulted in the death of hundreds of Mexicans, and several US Law Enforcement folks. Which is precisely the point of small government conservatives . Government is largely incapable of managing and monitoring programs like this. But why should or would Obama come forward, end the program and admit it was a terrible mistake. He has plenty of apologists like you carrying his water. In the end, no matter what the question....the answer is always...."It was Bush's fault". Hopefully in November 2012 he'll blame Bush one last time.

Kelly....you seem like a nice lady with a nice career , so I'll go easy on you....but you have the political mind of a 10 year old, and frankly sound like the Suzanne Summers character on the old TV show "Three's Company". For those who don't remember...google it and see what I mean.
I'm not ashamed of anything I've done, or believe. Are you ashamed of some of those things Jasmine said you did....or that most black dudes on here think you sound like you're a throwback from a southern wife circa 1960? Or maybe you think your all in support of Obama can level off some of your insensitive comments in the past...huh? I mean really...believe what you wanna believe, but don't you dare point your finger of judgement or indignation at anyone else. That's where this stops being political and becomes something else.

I'll say this again slowly so you can understand.....Obama came in with a wave of hope and optimism , ( for you...not for me) and brought with him huge veto proof majorities in the House and Senate. He had those overwhelming majorities and controlled the legislative agenda for 2 solid years, and did noting to change the landscape on the LGBT scene...not gay marriage, not anything. If that leaves you unfulfilled.... Maybe you need to point that finger of indignation at him...not at anyone else.

Sorry loser. It ['s clear] you definitely can't read. [I] didn't [say] anything was Bush's fault in that last post. I know it's your only line of defense but it doesn't apply here. The point is it's okay for Bush to pursue Project Gunrunner, but not okay for Holder or Obama to pursue the same strategy. Of course it's irrelevant that they're two black guys. You are [against] their escalation of the strategy and the expense of the escalation. I agree. But then I don't want to spend an exorbitant billions of dollars on a lame brain fence to keep out Hispanics. Is there a pattern here?
