7. "The administration has found that it's easy to receive applause in Europe for closing Guantanamo, but it's tricky to come up with an alternative that will serve the interest of justice and America's national security."
This was a pretty big blow. Obama is so busy clamoring for the adoration of other countries, he never stopped to formulate a plan for closing this facility. He's a little too busy trying to be the popular kid on the world stage. IMO, he didn't take America's national security into account when he made that declaration. How could he when he's only been in office such a short amount of time?
That's a pretty big decision to make without having all the facts. I'm guessing it takes more than a couple of weeks in office to be brought up to speed on issues like this.
Like Dick Cheney or not, he made some valid points.

First for those of you that have said we need to "get the NeoCons" out, I could not agree more...
We need to remove the NeoCons, the "New" Conservatives that somehow think being more liberal is the way to go.
We need TRUE Conservatives that are not ashamed to make money, like Cheney. Conservatives that don't care about your "Politically Correct" agenda, but care about the country.
Conservatives that believe anyone can make money and who don't sit around feeling jealous because someone has more than they do because they are too lazy to get up and succeed.
Conservatives that understand turning terrorists lose is a bad idea.
Conservatives that warned us time and again about the economic crash we have experienced..
Conservatives that don't want to raise our taxes and send us 200.00 to make us feel better; but who understand cutting taxes is the only path to increased revenue.
Conservatives that wont fall head over heals for the lies about Global Warming.
Oh Yeah, let's kick out the NeoCons, the McCains, and get some real Conservatives in there, where they belong.
The lack of attention and foresight some people have is amazing... California, the shining jewel in the liberal playbook. The single most staunch liberal stronghold is showing you all what happens to a liberal nation. Yet you are all still too blind to see and will remain so until this entire country follows California into the dust and we become what you all want. A nation that doesn't work, doesn't protect itself, never offends and is completely controlled by the government.
Yes, the NeoCons should go, but Cheney is about as much a NeoCon as Obama is conservative.
Neo... New
Con...Conservative
Sheesh
Semper

Bush and Cheney are awesome. I give them credit for doing what they thought was best to protect the citizens of the USA. You might disagree with that, but you cant say they didnt keep you safe.

It was DOA on posting. It's obvious that you consider yourself a Republican but America needs a REAL GOP. Not a knock off. A GOP that considers the country before itself, before what I can do for my pocket, before what I can do to be reelected. A party that is willing to put America first. The Kernel hasn't seen this in over 20 years. Lament the loss of power. It's small. The Kernel laments the loss of heart in the GOP. "2 units of Ringer's Lactate, STAT."
2010 will be a good year. This GOP is hoping that America will vote against the standing administration. It won't happen. We don't have the right people. We aren't innovative. The same tripe from lesser politicians. 2010 will be a wake up call when we lose. Then the neocons will be turfed out and America will become stronger.
Til then.

with all due respect kernal...the GOP don't care about the poor or middle class, it has nothing to do with being inovative...they love to send young men to war and cut their own taxes. period. 12 years of control in both houses of congress, plus 8 years of bush, has almost killed off the middle class. anybody who makes under 100k a year shouldn't vote for a republican for the forseeable future. the GOP elephant dropped a 500 pound load of dung and they are wondering how come obama hasn't cleaned it up yet...the GOP couldn't govern itself out of a paper bag, let alone a nation. you think the problem is bright ideas, and charming canidates, wrong, it's making sure people other then the wealthy of this country, have a decent life.

I repeat....
If you people don't know by now that there is NO republican Party and there is NO democratic Party...There is ONLY the Illuminati Party..THAT's IT..PERIOD!
A 5 year old can figure out this left and right manipulative, Satanic, serial killing, psychopathic liar actors playing out their script on the World stage.
Hello????? THEY WORK FOR THE SAME PEOPLE...It's FAKE!! They need the dumb people to believe they are against each other..Obama is pushing through the same agenda as Bush & Clinton..
If you people need a CRASH COURSE IN HOW THIS WORKS.... WATCH A WWF WRESTLING MATCH!! For those of you that remember....The WWF promoted the NEW WORLD ORDER in the 90's...This is how dumb they think you are...What shocks me is how easy it is to fool people...They are so gullible.
I feel like I am the reading opinions of preschool children..NO OFFENSE..But I wish you people would wake up!
