“”Any odds of whether or not he tries to turn the base back to Cuba when he makes his visit to the island paradise to see his twin soulmates?””
Apparently WHY he made the announcement in advance of his trip. Clever DEVIL that he is. See - he IS transparent! His words are so, so OLD....”it’s this, it’s that, it’s contrary to our values, it’s not who we are”; it’s BS!!

Trump announces he’ll reopen in 3, 2,

Obama supports radical Islam.
Obama supports radical Islam and is Anti-West
Moving Islamo-terrorists to States ONLY SERVES TO MAKE INDIVIDUAL STATES TERRORIST TARGETS. Perhaps THAT is 0dunga’s goal.
They’ll also get a ton of rights and cash ,oh and maybe get to vote
Wanna bet? Obama’s got a pen and a phone. Paul Ryan will take the call and roll up into a fetal position.

It is contrary to his values.
Seems Obama will do anything against the USA for the enemies against us.
Islamic terrorists around the would are joyously celebrating at O’s gift to them.

It’s amusing that photographers clack away every time he turns his head to read his telepromters to emphasize the great importance of his writers words.
It’s a old trick they often use.
Legacy building.
Closing GITMO was one of his original campaign promises.
Like almost everything else, it’s all about him.
