While some on the left have made a hobby of complaining that Obama hasnt somehow single-handedly closed Gitmo, the facility thats been holding untried prisoners of war for over a decade now, Republicans are lamenting the fact that there arent enough prisoners at Gitmo at least one is.
The President tries he really does, despite the fact that he has always had to deal with an obstructionist Senate and a country that, even if they want the prisoners released, dont want them released into the SuperMax prisons in their home states.
Still, Obama perseveres and in dribs and drabs, has been releasing the prisoners, calling it a national security issue and putting some blame for ISIS on the policy of permanent detention.

If there are too many empty beds at Gitmo, why not send seditionists like the Koch Bros. and their GOP puppets in Congress there? Problem solved.
