Obama's sister, Maya said,
"There was always a joke
between my mom and
Barack
that he would be
the first black president."
Now the

He's Not
The First |
Obama is the second man to occupy the Oval Office that did not meet
the
requirements of the Constitution of the United States of America,
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
Chester A. Arthur
was the first. |
Stop!
In The
Name
Of
Love |
Hours after taking office on
Tuesday, Obama's first act was to
order military prosecutors in the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals
to ask for a 120-day halt in all pending cases.
Military judges
were expected to rule on the request on Wednesday at the U.S. naval base
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, an official involved in the trials said.
The request would halt proceedings in 21 pending cases, including
the death penalty case against five Guantanamo prisoners accused of
plotting the September 11 hijacked plane attacks that killed nearly
3,000 people.
Prosecutors said in their written request that the
halt was "in the interests of justice." |
