SCRIPT
Girl: “To close it? To close it not?”
President Obama: “Guantanamo? That's easy. ... Close down Guantanamo.”
Girl: “To close it? To close it not?”
Sen. Jim Webb: “I don’t believe they should come to the United States.”
Chyron: “I don’t believe they should come to the United States.”
Sen. Harry Reid: “We will never allow terrorists released into the United States.”
Girl: “To close it? To close it not?”
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs: “We have made some hasty decisions that are now going to take some time to unwind. And closing Guantanamo Bay obviously is one of those decisions.”
President Lyndon Johnson: “These are the stakes...”
Barack Obama: “Guantanamo? That's easy. ... Close down Guantanamo.”
--------------------------
They of course left out THIS part of Gibbs' answer where he clarified the answer that they played in the ad:Q And I want to get back to what you said earlier --
Q
Thank you. All right. And you said hasty -- you talked about hasty decisions tomorrow, that it's going to take some time to unwind. Are you talking about the President's hasty decisions or the previous administration's hasty decision as it regards Guantanamo? MR. GIBBS:
No, no, no, I'm sorry, let me be -- good question. My boss might want to know the answer to that. (Laughter.) No, no, I'm discussing decisions that were made in the previous administration -- Q You were not referring to the executive order --
MR. GIBBS: No, no, no --
Q -- as a hasty decision.
MR. GIBBS: No.
Q Absolutely not?
MR. GIBBS: Thank you for letting me clarify that before I go see the boss later this afternoon.
