HE TALKS, WE WIN:

75% Worried That Gitmo Closing Will Set Dangerous Terrorists Free (Rasmussen, August 25, 2009)

Seventy-five percent (75%) of U.S. voters are at least somewhat concerned that dangerous terrorists will be set free if the Guantanamo prison camp is closed and some prisoners are transferred to other countries. Fifty-six percent (56%) are very concerned. [...]

Support for the president’ s plan to close the prison camp for suspected terrorists at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba continues to erode. It’s been steadily dropping since Obama announced the camp closure just after taking office in January. Only 32% of voters now favor closing the prison camp, down six points from May and down 12 points since the President announced his decision in January.

Mr. Obama had done so little of any significance before he got to the White House that each of us could look at him and see there whatever we wanted--he was the ultimate Rorschach blot. Whose bright idea was it to let him start defining the image into something recognizable?
