“In certain quarters in Europe,” he said, “you can be popular by blaming every Middle Eastern problem on Israel. Or you can be popular by joining the International Criminal Court. I guess I could have been popular by accepting Kyoto, which I felt was a flawed treaty . . . And in terms of the decisions that I had made to protect the homeland, I wouldn't worry about popularity.”
That from President Bush’s last press conference.
… in other news, President-elect Obama’s advisers, in a nod to his increasingly restive left flank, indicated he would shut down the holding facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as early as his first full day in office.
Signing a piece of paper to “close” the facility is one thing. What to actually do with those detainees is an entirely different matter, though.
B-Daddy, questions whether the sheer awesomeness of Obama can make that a reality, here.
P.S. Still getting the squiggly red line underneath “Obama”, signifying a misspelled word. Wonder if that will go away next Tuesday. Microsoft really needs to start getting its act together.
