How To Screw The People And Look Good Doing It

The other day at West point the president said some interesting things (ridiculous, stupid and insulting to most Americans, but interesting). One of the things he said was that he was committed to closing Gitmo. I find it to be no coincidence that we learned today that he traded 5 of the worst Taliban leaders for the soldier that was captured 5 years ago. While it is good to have this young man back it is frightening to think about what precedent this president just set. We can no longer say we don't negotiate with terrorists and those terrorists now know if they can capture our troops this president will trade at least 5 to one to get them back. He broke another law in releasing Gitmo detainees without notifying Congress, something this administration seems to have no problem doing. It would seem to me that Mr. Obama has found a way to fulfill his first promise as "president", empty Gitmo.
