Obama's second full day of on the job executive training. He's issuing executive orders like a kindergartner being prompted in a school play:
OBAMA: In order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo, uh, and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and interests of justice, I hereby order. And we then we will then, uh, the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now. We will be... Uhhh.... Umm.... Is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're going to dispose of the detainees? Is that it, eh, uh, what we're doing?CRAIG: We'll set up a process!
OBAMA: We will be setting up a process, uh, whereby this is going to be taking place.
Well he's gonna close Gitmo but he doesn't have a clue for the disposition of the prisoners. I figure he's kicking the can down the road. Most likely we'll still have the prisoners locked up somewhere, a year from now. Fine by me, if they are still hell bent on attacking America. Obama might as well rename Gitmo, however, for all the difference this executive order is going to do.

Addendum: I just stumbled accross this starstruck Obamaphile and former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor's take:
... the first president who has seemed to be in charge from the day he was elected, not, like other presidents from the day he was sworn in.
Is she talking about Craig or wearing the high powered rose colored glasses? Neo Neocon says it's only love...
