  • Lol this is Jan 2009, Date right now is April 2011. So more than two years have passed. Is this a normal thing in the USA that the president signs some document and its worthless, its bullshit?

  • "Indeed, the failed effort to close Guantanamo was reflective of the aspects of Obama’s leadership style that continue to distress his liberal base — a willingness to allow room for compromise and a passivity that at times permits opponents to set the agenda." --Washington Post, April 23, 2011
