Executive Order 13492

On January 22, 2009 President Obama signed Executive Order 13492, calling for the closure of detention facilities at Guantanamo no later than one year from the date of the order.

Five years later it is still open for business.

As much as I do not care for lawmaking via Executive Order, it's another matter for the order not to have been followed.

Did Obama forget to put a reminder on his calendar?
Do executive Orders have an expiration date?

Lol

More double standard

Guess he was against it before he was for it once the reasons for its existence was broken down in terms he could understand.

The vote, which complicates Mr. Obama’s efforts to shutter the prison by his deadline of Jan. 22, 2010, was 90 to 6. Republicans voted unanimously in favor of cutting the money.

“The American people don’t want these men walking the streets of America’s neighborhoods,” said Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota. “The American people don’t want these detainees held at a military base or federal prison in their back yard, either.”..."
