In the Huffington Post today, Bianca Jagger, some popular culture relic from the 80s, wonders “President Obama, Why Have You Forsaken Your Promise to Close Guantanamo?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

She chronicles the number of times Barack Obama has promised to close Guantanamo and turn loose it’s orange-clad denizens on the world;<\/p>\n

When President Obama was elected, he electrified people throughout the world, particularly the human rights community, by using his second day in office to issue executive orders to close the Guant\u00e1namo detention center and end torture and secret detention.<\/p>\n

The order authorized: “The detention facilities at Guant\u00e1namo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than one year from the date of this order”. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the short answer is that it’s a damn sight easier to make promises and write proclamations than it is to actually do stuff. <\/p>\n

Hasn’t Bianca noticed that in her long life, and on several other campaign promises Obama made and can’t keep? Of course, she comes from arguably the poorest nation on earth, Nicaragua, and Jagger supports the bloody communist Ortega regime while she sits in relative comfort in her British home and snipes at democracies around the world and ignores the human rights abuses in her former home. But there’s no money in reforming a poor nation, is there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
