Think you guys are missing the point. The reason people dislike Guantanamo is mainly because they are being held indefinitely without a trial, and some are being tortured. If they start holding trials and stop the torturing, then that mitigates most of the complaints.
All of which, including the closing, Obama still plans to do:

When a conservative it's EVIL ...

But when Obama says it, oh brilliance, sheer brilliance, his IQ must be like ... over 9000.

Well since you brought it up,

Conservatism and cognitive ability negatively correlated.

Quote
Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated. The evidence is based on 1254 community college students and 1600 foreign students seeking entry to United States' universities. At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with SAT, Vocabulary, and Analogy test scores.

And screwing a grown-up girl scout?

Oxymoron alert!

Also, Kyanwan, is there any purpose in being Socially conservative these days? Last I checked my calender the year was 2009.  ;D

Dude, type in girl scout into google images with safe-search "off" and you tell me it's an oxymoron.

If that's not hot, you're an oxymoron :P

Dude I told you this grown up-girl scout thing isn't going to work.



And that's what I found when I turned the safe-search off.

I think we have a different description of ginger. I've always considered a "ginger" to be a red-head with freckles... or at least a red head.

I don't like this one so much but it still goes with my arguement:

And they have no soul, mustn't forget that very important trait.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

I actually like this one, probably because I don't consider her a Ginger though.

Who said anything about social conservatism? 

National security != social conservatism.   By the way.   About that "cognitive ability".  XD

I think anyone pushing social conservatism ... sort of fails right there.   A bible thumping jackass screwed us all over.  He screwed us so bad, that we've got a steaming pile of shit for a government at the moment.   We went from having Clinton-era Democrats, to this shit.   What the hell happened.  The "anything but Bush (and THEM)" got us ... well, the worst of all that anything. 
Nothing.

Congressional Democrats and the Obama administration reached an agreement yesterday that would allow the White House to bring detainees now held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to the United States for trial, but not allow them to be jailed here permanently.

The agreement came as Democrats sought to break an impasse on war funding legislation now being considered in Congress. The provision, if passed, would effectively ratify the administration's decision earlier this week to move a Tanzanian man named Ahmed Ghailani from Guantanamo to New York on Tuesday to face capital charges in the 1998 bombings at the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.

The agreement could help Obama implement his goal of closing the prison by next January, but it must still be passed in Congress next week as part of the funding bill, which includes about $100 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate voted 90-6 last month to block any incarceration of detainees in the United States, and Republicans have suggested they could try to block any move to bring detainees here.

"This is something I know the American people don't want and I hope my Democrat friends aren't going to line up and support President Obama and bring these terrorists to the United States," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)

It is likely that Congress will strip out a provision that would ban the release of photos depicting the abuse of detainees held by U.S. authorities abroad before the bill's final passage. The provision had been approved by the Senate last month at the urging of the Obama administration, which says the release of the photos could endanger U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan by increasing anti-American opinion.

But a bloc of House Democrats had said they would not back the larger funding bill if that provision was included. Some of the Democrats simply want the pictures released, while others said they object to the provision, which overrides the Freedom of Information Act in order to bar the release of the photos.

An appeals court has ruled the pictures must be released, but the administration appealed that ruling and has said it would seek either a change in the law or a Supreme Court decision to prevent the release of the pictures. A group of senators who support Obama's view and don't want the pictures released have said they will seek to attach the ban to other legislation in hopes of getting it passed. -Washington Post

I expected stuff like this. Obama was elected because he wasn't a Republican. I still hold the beliefs that he will turn out to be an ineffective president, and that he is doing a better job then McCain.
