Of all the polls over the past few years exposing Democrats’ Bush hysteria as the partisan hackery it was — see the ones on drones and spying on reporters, for starters — today’s is my very favorite, just because the demand it places on Obama is so small. Surely, surely, people who spent years screeching about “King George” and the executive run amok don’t object to a federal law that simply requires O to notify Congress a month before releasing any Gitmo detainees. There’s nothing Congress can do to stop him; his Article II power is supreme. All they ask is a little heads-up before we start sending jihadis back out into the big brave world.
Nope.
sarc/
“Taliban Mullah in Chief” Hussein Obama has chosen “Secretary of Defending the Taliban” Hagel to continue to make Grand Bargains with Gitmo Prisoners so that Gitmo can be closed on the last day that all US Military Personnel finally abandon Afghanistan to the Taliban.
I think he signed the law himself.
Progressives are totalitarians at heart.
I hope they like where that takes us.
the ‘liberal progressive ‘ elements in this country need to be rounded up and expatriated to Africa . Lots of room over there . These Lib-progs have zero claims on what has made America great , they have no rights to continue to be allowed to rip apart the fabric of our great nation . To Hell with them . All....
I miss the days we had a policy of not dealing with terrorists. That rule saved many lives. Obamas new rule of negotiating with terrorists is going to get people killed.
““Liberals” overwhelmingly say Obama had no duty to inform Congress of Bergdahl swap”
Nor obey any other laws. What a waste of a poll.
The law is meaningless to leftists
Doesn’t Africa have it hard enough as it is? Don’t be cruel to them, especially when there is a full sized, unoccupied continent at the bottom of the globe.
No surprise there I’m afraid.
And generally lawless too.
bet the libs response would have been different had G.W. Bush done it.
Good idea. After all, it is warming up due to AGW and will soon be a tropical paradise when the ice is all melted.
No surprise exactly.
I saw lefties celebrate online when Obama said he was going to ‘bypass Congress.’ They don’t care about the law or separation of powers.
Of course, if a Republican is elected next time around they’ll be the first to wants those ‘checks and balances’ to be followed.
And generally lawless too.
What do you think Totalitarians are? Good law abiding people? Silly thing to say. LOL
No , the predators in Africa don’t have enough to eat...
