Irresponsibility in the U.S. Congress

Last January, upon taking office, President Obama issued an executive order to permanently close the prison at the illegally occupied U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo, Cuba.

Now, Congress, which is controlled by Obama's own political party, is stonewalling and putting all kinds of obstacles in closing the infamous prison which brought deep shame to the United States throughout the world.

The irresponsible Senators and Representatives want to conduct a so-called war on terror, but do not want to bring those it captures to the mainland United States.

The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate need to grow up. No wonder that the public holds such low opinions about Congress.
