Obama is set (in just a few moments) to make yet another long-winded, TOTUS-enabled speech to the nation. This time, it is to head Dick Cheney off at the pass and make it seem that Cheney is appearing on television to rebut Obama’s speech, when in fact, the opposite is true. Cheney has had this date scheduled for weeks, and Obama’s press folks are simply trying to make it look like the opposite.

Sources close to the White House have said that advance copies of the speech appear to be nothing but invectives to be hurled at the Bush administration, making the incredible claim that Bush administration policies did not keep us safe. Umm… call me crazy, but unless there was some massive coverup, I’m pretty certain that we didn’t have a terrorist attack on US soil after 9/11. You can disagree with (and I do as well) many of the Bush administration policies, but keeping the US safe is not really one that the evidence is on the side of the liberals and Bush administration critics.

Yesterday, the Congress voted nearly unanimously (90-6) to reject Obama’s plan to close Gitmo by refusing to fund the effort until such time that Obama comes up with an actual plan as to where to put these detainees. See, libs are all about releasing terrorists and making the country less safe, but not when that starts in their back yard. No siree Bob.

Obama is now going on television in an attempt to take his non-plan to the American people, in the hopes that he can use his charisma to drum up popular support for the closing of Club Gitmo. I think it’s going to backfire on him, and he doesn’t need rebuttal from Cheney for that to happen.

One of the main reasons that a lot of people overlook when they talk about closing Gitmo is the danger that housing these killers poses to the very people and places that house them. At Gitmo, these men are held and watched by unknown soldiers who are on an island that is virtually inaccessible by outsiders. But put those terrorists into prisons in the continental US, and all of a sudden, you will have protests on national television and the location of these prisons will be known the world over. Simple searches on Google can turn up the names and addresses of prison guards and administrators. I don’t need to explain further how dangerous that would be if Al Qaeda and other bands of smelly scumbags get a hold of that information, which they surely will. Murder, bombings, kidnappings, ransom… you name it.

He’s now speaking as I write, and I have to say, the idea that he’s lecturing former administration officials on “not thinking about the long-term ramifications before they act” is utterly laughable. In just over 100 days, this administration has demonstrated time and time again that it cannot see past the end of it’s own nose when making typical liberal knee-jerk decisions. Just look at TARP, GM, Chrysler, the banking sector, you name it.

I literally can’t stand watching this ass-clown speak - the indignant tone he takes when attempting to defend his ill-conceived policies is disgusting. Get off your self-appointed high horse, jackass. The American people do not want this. Time to swallow your pride and realize that this is yet another campaign promise you won’t be keeping. Just shut up, stop whining about Bush and do your job.
