The highlighted last paragraph on the bottom says it all. Obama is the worst Potus of my lifetime barring none. He cares less for our country than any before him.
Just a quick postscript on those 15 hardened jihadis (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2016/08/15/obama-to-release-largest-group-of-gitmo-inmates-yet-n2205569) our president saw fit to transfer out of the Guantanamo Bay enemy combatant detention facility this week. They have been sent to the United Arab Emirates, whose government the Obama administration thanked for their "humanitarian" contribution -- drawing virtual groans (https://twitter.com/stephenfhayes/status/765559620693790720) from Stephen Hayes:
In transferring 15 high-risk GTMO detainees, Obama admin thanked UAE for its "humanitarian gesture" - as if problem is GTMO, not terrorists.

Hayes links to a piece (http://www.weeklystandard.com/pentagon-releases-15-high-risk-gitmo-detainees-to-uae/article/2003848) by his Weekly Standard colleague Thomas Joscelyn, who reviews the relevant history of each detainee, determining that all them were flagged as "high risk" by Bush-era officials. Years later, Obama's own task force came to essentially the same conclusion about more than half of them:
JTF-GTMO completed its threat assessments before the Obama administration took power, establishing threat categories color coded like a traffic light. The entire detainee population was placed into one of three categories: green (low risk), yellow (medium risk), and red (high risk). JTF-GTMO considered the detainees in the last category—the so-called red-light detainees—to be the highest risk and generally recommended that they be retained in the Defense Department's custody. JTF-GTMO deemed all 15 of the detainees transferred to the UAE to be red-light detainees. President Obama's own Guantanamo Review Task Force determined that 8 of the 15 should be held in detention according to the law of war because they were "too dangerous to transfer but not feasible for prosecution." Another one of the detainees was recommended for prosecution, meaning Obama's task force c
concluded that 9 of the 15 should remain in U.S. custody.
