President Obama’s legal advisers, confronting the prospect of new restrictions on the transfer of Guantánamo detainees, are debating whether to recommend that he issue a signing statement asserting that his executive powers would allow him to bypass the restrictions, according to several officials.

If Mr. Obama were to issue such a statement, it could represent a more aggressive use of unilateral executive powers than what he exerted in his first two years in office. The issue has arisen as the Republican Party takes control of the House.

First he abdicated his power as Commander in Chief by turning this issue over to the incompetent Eric Holder and, now that he's gotten his ass kicked, he's asserting his constitutional authority (ala Bush) to deal with the fall-out. This is what happens when we elect a president who forms national security policy based on the uninformed infantile talking points and other leftoid drivel one might read on the Daily K or some other libtard outlet (which is exactly what his campaign relied on in '08 if anyone was paying attention).

How about it Boehner...you guys gonna sit there and just let him take over?

You all spent a lot of money to get elected just to let this kenyan declare himself dictator.

What happened to the separation of powers?

New guys, it's time to get mean.

[Cheerio]

As a candidate, Barack Obama repeatedly and vociferously objected to George Bush’s use of signing statements, almost as often as he objected to the existence of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility for captured terrorists

These LIES are just words.

(defund the naked xray cancer machines too)

The executive actions Zero will use are much more egregious than the ones used by W. Will the left and the MSM complain?
Those chances are less than the odds of me sleeping with Reese Witherspoon.
