reluctantly my ass...and not even reluctant for the right reasons


also 3 things about this gem

"I want to clarify that my administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens,"

1) lol that we should believe him

2) his statement verifies the fear everyone had with the bill and does give him the ability to have the indef detain americans w/o trial by military or civilian methods

3) he does not say he won't indef detain americans....he just said he wouldn't do it with the military w/o a trial ...no promise against indef detention on the civilian side


essentially he's saying....i asked for this power...but i won't use it...you can trust me...and every president that comes after me...

Sad day for America. He wont abuse it but some president of the future will. Its horrible

I can believe Republicans would be for this but I cant imagine democrats. Sad.

Obama shouldve vetoed that bill and then made a speech condemning the sponsors as unAMercan

You [no one in particular] can't pretend to support the constitution and our founding ideals, and support this president and congress. They all need to be deep sixed in the worst way.

This close to an end in an election cycle and signing this bill seems at odds.

Am I missing something?

How can you promise to close Gitmo on your first day as president and then 180 to this.

This is GREAT NEWS!!!

Didn't congress just pass a law saying that Corporations are now considered citizens, this could work out quite well.

Why is Obama for this? This surely will be abused in the future like all laws.

It wont be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court either because of all the conservatives there.
