Obama to renew efforts to close Guantanamo

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Republican version: Obama to release his muslim terrorist brotherhood buddies onto U.S. ground to kill everyone and bring about end times.

FTA:
Asked about a topic that links terrorism and his Obama's legislative efforts, he said he would "re-engage with Congress" on his goal of closing the prison for detainees at Guantanamo in Cuba. As a candidate for the White House in 2007 and 2008, Obama called for closing the base, which was set up as part of President George W. Bush's response to the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Lawmakers objected and the facility remains open.

Asked about a hunger strike by some detainees, he said, "I don't want these individuals to die," and he said the Pentagon was doing what it could to manage the situation.
