Antiwar groups fear Barack Obama leaning toward the center in his candidates (Antiwar Liberals Wasted Their Money)

During the campaign and right after the election there was so much Obama hero worshipping going on in the Liberal blogs that the post was rolling so fast you did not have time to comment, now that alittle time has pass the Code Pink group and other activist groups are getting upset with their baby boy Obama moving toward the center and withdrawing his short demand of 16 months to have all the troops from Iraq. The Obama hero worshipping liberals has cooled to a slow crawl now that they have learned their beloved Obama lied to them on just about everything just to get their money and vote. Yes liberals, its like buying a car with no motor…I would be mad to if I had wasted my money on Barack Obama!

The activists key members of the coalition that propelled Obama to the White House fear he is drifting from the antiwar moorings of his once-longshot presidential candidacy. Obama has eased the rigid timetable he had set for withdrawing troops from Iraq, and he appears to be leaning toward the center in his candidates to fill key national security posts.

The president-elect has told some Democrats that he expects to take heat from parts of his political base but will not be deterred by it.

Colorado Springs congressman fears closing the prison housing terror suspects at the Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, could result in their being transferred to Colorado.

Rep. Doug Lamborn, a first-term Republican, toured the military prison Friday and said afterward he doesn’t want the 250 detainees there moved to federal prisons, including the high-security Supermax in Florence, south of Colorado Springs.

“There are some people here who are bent on destroying our way of life,” Lamborn said in a phone interview, referring to the “enemy combatants” captured during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lamborn has no specific information on moving the prisoners, but he said Supermax is a logical site for relocation if Guantanamo is closed.

The federal Bureau of Prisons said Friday that while it has been successful at keeping terrorists behind bars, the agency isn’t relishing the thought that 250 detainees could be dumped in their system.

Those Guantanamo Bay “enemy combatants” prisoners if moved to Colorado will have the same rights as the Colorado Springs American citizens have. These prisoners want to kill Americans and we want them living next door? I understand that Colorado is Obama country so I can see why they would welcome the Guantanamo Bay prisoners!

LINK: Colorado Springs: America’s 3rd Drunkest City
Colorado is gaining a bad reputation. For several years, Colorado Springs was voted one of the drunkest cities in the country.
Here is the sobering truth: Each city was ranked in five areas; number of dui arrests, number of fatal drunk driving crashes, number of binge drinkers, number of alcohol related liver disease deaths and how many M.A.D.D. programs we have to cut down on excessive drinking.

Colorado Springs ranks high across the board. So we did our own investigation on the rankings. Starting with Pam Vanoverbeke of our local M.A.D.D. chapter.

“Colorado Springs currently, it’s a little bit scary. We’ve had about 17 fatalities. 13 of those have been alcohol related,” says Vanoverbeke.

Sounds like a good place to send the Guantanamo Bay (terrorist) prisoners and they all can get drunk together. Even the DA was caught drinking and driving while on the job! Maybe the people of Colorado Springs and the terrorist can join AAA rehab!
