Obama's Friday Afternoon Media Dump: "How 'Bout We Detain Terrorists"

Even more likely to be smothered in the wall-to-wall MJ coverage and with every politics-minded person watching the circus in the house, the Obama Administration leaked this afternoon that the President is drawing up an executive order to allow indefinite detention of terrorism suspects.

It's like I've already seen this movie...

Such an order would embrace claims by former president George W. Bush that certain people can be detained without trial for long periods under the laws of war. Obama advisers are concerned that bypassing Congress could place the president on weaker footing before the courts and anger key supporters, the officials said.
After months of internal debate over how to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, White House officials are growing increasingly worried that reaching quick agreement with Congress on a new detention system may prove impossible. Several officials said there is concern in the White House that the administration may not be able to close the facility by the president's January deadline.

Another day, another Obama campaign promise broken. I'd just like to hear him say once: "Okay, so Bush was right."

Are the brain dead really capable of emotion?

8 Actually, I believe this is ultimately intended to give the jug-eared eggplant the ability to detain as 'terrorists' enemies of the state-i.e. anti collectivist, anti statist, anti government 'right wingers'.

11 Wait for it... I have GOT to see how hysterical Andy tries to defend this.

Will his head actually explode trying to process this through a prism of Obama-love?

Oh, and whiny Chrissy... does this do anything to his leg? Will it look like a stroke?

Will someone willingly detaining these poor terrorists without a trial ever be the new "Worst Person" on Olbermann?

Man, the schadenfreude on this one looks to be too much for one meal. I'm going to have to save some for later.

15 Am I missing something here, or is he really closing Gitmo only to open another terrorist prison somewhere else?

Posted by: Jack Bauer's Dad at June 26, 2009 06:09 PM (DVl4L)

16 Meh, to the One's supporters it really does not matter what he does, as long as they get their free stuff. They will vote for him no matter what, the MSM will support him no matter what, he really has no restraints on what he does that he needs to worry about. You can be quite sure that the very same people who condemmned Bush for this will support Obama. Everything is OK as long as its a Democrat who does it is how they think.

21 Obama doesn't have "key supporters." He's got a key demographic - lazy good-for-nothings with grandiose illusions of entitlement who think the government is a cash machine and one-stop nanny shop.

22 Obama's douchitariat is screaming uncle as the trial balloon from wapo goes bad...

A White House official disputes the accuracy of the WaPo report that the administration has drafted an order to hold some detainees indefinitely. "There is no draft executive order," the aide said. "The task force has not finished its work on these issues."

Although I'm fairly certain that this post shouldn't have made me laugh, I barely made it through the headline before I let out a cackle so loud my daughter came out of her room to ask what happened.

Hell, even if the guy had any principles you just know he'd quickly abandon them.

29 It's not Barry's fault. It's Congress' fault.

WASHINGTON � Stymied by Congress so far, the White House is considering issuing an executive order to indefinitely imprison a small number of Guantanamo Bay detainees considered too dangerous to prosecute or release, two administration officials said Friday.

The administration also is considering asking Congress to pass new laws that would allow the indefinite detentions, the official said.

Stymie? That was one of the kids from the Little Rascals.

32 It's not as easy as you thought, is it Obama? No European country wants them. You've resorted to sneaking them into British Islands, and some of them don't even want to go. Instead of apologizing to worlds despots, and give a hat tip to George W. Bush for having the temerity to use GITMO as storage for Islamic terrorist cutthroats. And while you're at it, tell him he was right.
