President Obama said he'll seek the repeal of provisions in the new defense authorization bill barring the transfer of terrorist suspects to the U.S. for civilian trials.

Obama said he had signed the defense authorization bill despite its inclusion of a measure barring the use of funds to transfer prisoners away from the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for trials in the U.S.

But the president said he believed those provisions unconstitutionally interfered with his powers and that he would seek their repeal — leaving alive his stated goal of closing the U.S. military base in Cuba.

Another dumbass remark from our POTUS
Good girls are bad girls that never get caught.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

It will never get through the House.  Remember, all of the budget legislation has to start there.

"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
