Obama to Release One Third of Gitmo Inmates

reply to post by ProfEmeritus

After what just happened, it's almost as if he's thumbing his nose at America,

To be honest that was my first impression, and after seeing 2016 I am convinced he has been thumbing his nose at us all along, I saw it, but was wondering when others would begin to see it.

President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have approved one of Osama bin Laden’s personal bodyguards for release or transfer from the Guantanamo Bay detention center to another country, according to prison records released by WikiLeaks and a recently published list of approved-transfer detainees from the Justice Department.

Idris Ahmad Abdu Qadir Idris is the second name on Holder’s Justice Department list of 55 Gitmo detainees approved for release or transfer. This detainee, according to a Jan. 26, 2008, Defense Department document published by WikiLeaks, provided security for bin Laden both before and after the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

I agree with everything you have said. Obama made no secret of what his feelings are in his book, and in his writings. I firmly believe that the reason his school records are sealed, has less to do with his dubious place of birth, and much more to do with his writings which show he clearly hates America, and our way of life. We are not alone, my good friend. In fact, look at this:

In our latest POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll with middle-class families, which comprise about 54 percent of the total American electorate and usually split in their vote behavior between Republicans and Democrats, Romney holds a 14-point advantage (55 percent to 41 percent). Middle-class families are more inclined to believe the country is on the wrong track (34 percent right direction, 62 percent wrong track), are more likely to hold an unfavorable view of Obama (48 percent favorable, 51 percent unfavorable), and hold a more favorable view of Romney (51 percent favorable, 44 percent unfavorable) and Paul Ryan (46 percent favorable, 35 percent unfavorable) than the overall electorate. These middle-class families also hold a majority disapproval rating on the job Obama is doing as president (45 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove), and turn even more negative toward Obama on specific areas; the economy 56 percent disapprove; spending 61 percent disapprove; taxes, 53 percent disapprove; Medicare 48 percent disapprove; and even foreign policy 50 percent disapprove.

The middle class is much less vociferous than other demographic groups, and will probably do their talking at the polls. I do wish though, that the Republicans would have been much better off with a different candidate. I will be voting for Ron Paul, because I live in a state that doesn't have a chance in hell of giving their electoral votes to Romney. I was very upset at the way the RNC treated Ron Paul at the convention, and refusing to even announce the electoral votes for him. It was a childish and petty thing to do. Ron Paul is correct in his assessment of the Federal Reserve. It truly is a den of thieves, which continues to bleed America dry,by taking our dollar and making it worthless.

Yes, I saw that poll this morning, and Romney doesn't stand a chance in Hades in my state either.

As for Obama, his dream is the vision of his fathers dream an outdated anti-colonialist ideology, Perhaps payback, or retribution,

I am starting to understand him more after seeing the movie.

As for Washington and our representatives, I find it hard to believe they are ignorant to all this information and have to wonder why they are so silent.

Anti-colonialism, as D’Souza defines it, is underwritten by a conviction that “colonialism is a system of piracy in which the wealth of the colonized countries is systematically stolen by the colonizers” and that at the present time the United States, originally a colony itself, is the chief neo-colonial power, continuing its flawed history of subjugating native Americans, Mexicans, Hawaii and the Philippines into the 21st century. “My argument,” says D’Souza in “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” “is that it is the anti-colonial ideology of his African father that Barack Obama took to heart.” Once we understand that ideology — once we really know Obama — we will understand a set of policies that, under any other explanatory model, seem contradictory and disunified.

The anti-colonial hypothesis is not only psychologically plausible — it is rooted in Obama's own testimony about his father — but it also has tremendous explanatory power. It can account for Obama's domestic policy as well as his foreign policy, and it can also explain little details about Obama that no other theory can account for.

Consider Obama's attitude towards the private sector. He seems to regard the private sector as dominated by greedy, selfish, neocolonial exploiters. He rarely misses a chance to flay Wall Street for its excess, insurance companies for their greed, oil companies for their profiteering and pharmaceutical companies for their exploitative prices.

Trying to get inside Obama's brain.

Thanks for that link. It confirms what I believed about Obama. As to getting inside his brain, I find it hard to do that, other than through articles like the one you referenced, because it is very hard to try to think like a narcissist. All my life, I tried to put friends and family first, and I just can't even imagine how a narcissist thinks. I believe that such an affliction borders on mental illness, if not truly over the border.
Peace.

Funny how these politicians make a last ditch effort to live up to their promises.

Every year should be an election year.

It is a leftist goal to sabotage all US efforts to combat communism and communist guerilla activities wherever it appears, and all other movements related to communism. Socialism is a bridge to communism, with communism being a bit more extreme, and therefore we have to understand that when socialists take up a cause, it is usually under the guise of caring about people, and so it appears that they have the general welfare of the people in mind. This is why in fighting to abolish capitalism, they attempt to make capitalists look bad by saying they employ people in low wage positions and work them to death in their sweat shops. As most of the industries have moved overseas, it is much harder for people to really monitor this activity, so people who want to help all these poor souls who are working themselves to the bone for 2 bucks a day will cite all these horrendous things that Capitalists are doing to these people. This is the tactic being used in the Romney/Bain situation and look how many people are buying into it?
Now switch the core issue to Gitmo, and you have the answer. Obama doesn't really give a flying rat's patoot about those people rotting in Gitmo, he is only concerned with incapacitating the US ability to get information out of these people and find the people who are always plotting against the US In their desire to institute their new religious Caliphate Totalitarian Marxist society.

MY guess is mental illness, sever personality disorder and pathological liar, in fact it is not the first time I have heard this brought up.

He looks right into the face of his supporters and with a smile on his face lies through his teeth, of course one can say this about many politicians, but his case is as different do to his agenda.

Your guess and my belief that Obama is mentally ill is backed up by Dr.Lyle Rossiter, in his book "The Liberal Mind". :
www.amazon.com...

The Liberal Mind is the first in-depth examination of the major political madness of our time: The radical left’s efforts to regulate the people from cradle to grave. To rescue us from our troubled lives, the liberal agenda recommends denial of personal responsibility, encourages self-pity and other-pity, fosters government dependency, promotes sexual indulgence, rationalizes violence, excuses financial obligation, justifies theft, ignores rudeness, prescribes complaining and blaming, denigrates marriage and the family, legalizes all abortion, defies religious and social tradition, declares inequality unjust, and rebels against the duties of citizenship. Through multiple entitlements to unearned goods, services and social status, the liberal politician promises to ensure everyone’s material welfare, provide for everyone’s healthcare, protect everyone’s self-esteem, correct everyone’s social and political disadvantage, educate every citizen, and eliminate all class distinctions. Radical liberalism thus assaults the foundations of civilized freedom. Given its irrational goals, coercive methods and historical failures, and given its perverse effects on character development, there can be no question of the radical agenda's madness. Only an irrational agenda would advocate a systematic destruction of the foundations on which ordered liberty depends. Only an irrational man would want the state to run his life for him rather than create secure conditions in which he can run his own life. Only an irrational agenda would deliberately undermine the citizen’s growth to competence by having the state adopt him. Only irrational thinking would trade individual liberty for government coercion, sacrificing the pride of self-reliance for welfare dependency. Only a madman would look at a community of free people cooperating by choice and see a society of victims exploited by villains.
