#1 But his efforts had been continually blocked by Republican lawmakers in Congress.

Back in 2009 when the US Senate was Democrat controlled funding for President Obama's Gitmo closure proposal was shot down 90-6. Majority Leader Reid was amongst the many Dems that not just voted but argued against the transfer of detainees to US soil. Others such as current leader Schummer have continued to block simmilar legislation. Team Obama was never one to let facts get in the way of a good partisan narrative - why start now?

#8 Yea, but we don't have to post it here...

I dunno. After a cool off period it might be fun to watch the little idiot scream his little screams and shake his tiny fists in impudent rage as time keeps dragging him further and further into obscurity.
