Within Obama's first week in office .. maybe on his first day .. we can expect him to issue an executive order to shut down Guantanamo Bay. He'll shut down Gitmo in order to fulfill one of his campaign promises and keep some his fidgety liberal barking moonbat supporters at bay. I say fidgety because some on the left are a little dumbfounded by some of Obama's centrist appointment thus far. And his proposal to provide tax cuts as part of his stimulus package .. what kind of Conservative hash must this guy be smoking? Tax cuts? Let those evil rich bastards keep their own money? Is he nuts?

So, two advisers to Obama's presidential transition team say that the order will come almost immediately. But this is when reality starts to kick in. Even Obama acknowledged over the weekend that closing Gitmo is going to be a challenge. In fact, even if he issues the executive order on day one, it is going to take a long time before you see the last Islamic terrorist goon leaving Cuba. And from there, Obama's team will probably create some sort of hybrid court system to deal with them. The danger is that if you let them into this country they suddenly have full Constitutional protections. That would not be a good thing.

That'll give the Left another countdown to monitor .. now that George Bush will be out of office.
