He must be getting worried that Gitmo may end up being his future retirement home.

I was really hoping he would say he would have done something pro American.

Good place for his library. It only needs one document - a copy of the US Constitution.

Then where would Obama have gotten the prisoners he traded for Bergdahl?

Obama should save us all a lot of time and trouble (and the agony of hearing him speak) and just attend every press conference with a set of Presidential placards......whenever a question is asked of him, he can hold up the appropriate placard. “Bush's fault, Republican’s fault, Congress’ fault, Netanyahu's fault, White privilege's fault, Police's fault, Cheney's fault, Rumsfeld’s fault, Fox News’ fault, Conservative’s fault, Colonialism's fault, Boehner’s fault, McConnell's fault, Reagan's fault, George Washington's fault”......

Yeah, Obamagabi, because doing things without alternative plans works so well.
Or have you now decided that letting the prisoners out to kill us IS the best plan.

You know.... they could have just killed all of those prisoners and closed the place. That would have been okay.

"at the time there was bipartisan agreement that the detention facility should be closed" His memory appears... faulty.
Lest we forget, the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2011 contained the first prohibition of the use of funds to construct or modify U.S. prisons to house detainees from Guantanamo.
That bill was 'authored' (submitted to the House) by Ike Skelton (D-MO), passed by both (D)-majority House and Senate in Dec, 2010, and presented to the WH on 12/29/2010.
Tho B Hussein signed the bill on Jan 7, 2011, all the work was done by a (D) Congress before the (R) takeover of the House after the 2010 elections.
