    Default Obama: Day 1.

    I must say, impressive. Good first steps.

    1. He froze White House Executive salaries.
    2. He drafted a document to close the detention center in guantanamo bay.
    3. He already called many middle eastern leaders.

    yeah, it seems like he is stepping up well. and the good thing i like to, is that from the get go we already know what he is doing.

    yes this is an asshole comment but i honestly dont give a damn what happens to them, i dont know them, dont care about them. but it is a bad decision to to close them, but if they do release them then send them back to where they came from so they get killed if they were actually involved in it. cause im sure they wont trust them.(remember i dont care what happens to them)

    i mean me neither too much. but its a waste of money...OUR money. We pay for them to sleep/eat/workout etc.. everyday to keep that place open. its a big waste for not much but a bunch of henchmen, or friends of known terrorists etc.

    if they really thought these guys at Gbay were guilty, they woudl have been put on trial, sentenced.. and been serving time. more than half of those guys are just there.

    Im sure they wont just throw them back into society, or jsut release the gates and let them walk out the door. but this also isnt really an obama thing.. it has been in talks for awhile now.. to close gbay.

    ^^ you are gay and I was trying to have a serious conversation. Not about politics, but about peoples feelings about him stepping up so quickly. Politics is a meaningless process about money. I feel Obama may be above such things. We shall see with time.

    The constitution states the president elect becomes president on January 20th at 12 O'clock regardless of the oath.

    I'm just saying he has alot to prove. That's all. And you're exactly right... He IS the new guy in the office. I HOPE he doesn't fuck up. But only time will tell.

    Closing Gitmo is going to have all kinds of problems. Where do the detainees go now? most countries dont want them, so .......

    And there are people there that were resposible for 9/11, how do we try them now?

    Hope he has a plan for all that

    trial for anyone in Gitmo? lol Like i said before.. most of them dont even kow why they are there, in the first place. its all based on loose information. And we dont have time or money to give these people a trial, with out any evidence. and you definatly cant lock up or execute people based on who they know, or hang out with. That place is like a trophy case, for the past 8 years...to show the world "hey look what we got"

    I'm sorry but no offense I found this a little humorous. We don't have the time or money to give these people a trial but we have money to throw out there for all the extra bull shit that was in the bailout and Obama's already proposing $850B stimulus after the last one didn't work. Oh yea. The guy is really learning. I think the best idea I have heard regarding any kind of stimulus came out of Texas. Instead of adding to the problem by printing off more money on top of the $700B bailout suspend Federal Tax witholdings for 60 days. IMHO the stimulus is flawed. What we need right now is people spending money not socking it away or paying down credit cards and thats exactly what they did with the stimulus and only a select people got it. If you suspended Federal Tax witholdings for 60 days regardless of age or income, think about all the kids that would have a couple hundred extra bucks every two weeks to blow on stupid shit they otherwise couldnt get. That more than anything would help.

    Not too many people were fond of the bailout, but it had a purpose, just like the stimilus does. But Gbay is a waste of money..there is no way around it. you dont even have a reason for it to remain open. Those people arent being charged, sentenced for anything just being held captive and being taken care of by us. And wat people did with their money noone can control.. so thats pointless to discuss.

    Point is.. Gbay is a waste of money...to take care of prisoners who arent being put thru the justice system, just being detained for years..

    Yea and they were so slow at implementing the bailout they are coming back asking for more. Good job congress.

    As far as Gitmo goes we will never fully understand the importance of it cause for the most part what goes on down there is classified. If we are getting credible intel leading to saving more lives in Afghanistan/Iraq/at home, can you really put a price tag on it?

    As far as your point on the bailout.It's worth talking about if we are about to commit more money that we dont have to it. Why does anyone think that this one will work when the first one backfired? What cause were throwing more money at it?

    As long as they have a plan set forward for when they close it I'm ok with it. Plus them being sentenced to life is cheaper than executing them.
