Senate says "no" to Obama

President Obama wanted $80 milllion (I said million this time, not billion for a change) to close down Guantanamo Bay Prison by January 22, 2010.

HE WAS DENIED on a vote in the Senate of 90 to 6. Finally a vote that makes sense.

“The American people don’t want these men walking the streets of America’s neighborhoods,” said Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota. “The American people don’t want these detainees held at a military base or federal prison in their back yard, either.”
