Sad but funny. The ‘last one, leave the lights on’ had me in stitches…

But, seriously, what a crock-o-crap. This, no doubt, is designed to put on the mother of all shows for the corporate press to pick up and sell to its sheepish followers as ‘the truth’ - sad, sad, sad…

Apparently political regimes have favorite political devices; like Obama saying one thing in soaring rhetoric and doing the opposite. He also believes is shuffling oppression from one site to another, while stating that he is ending it. He is doing the same thing with Gitmo, moving the prisoners to other prisons.
