Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Mehemea ka taea e te Perehitini Barack Obama te tīmata i tana perehitini, e ai ki a ia, ko te kati i te whare herehere hōia o Guantanamo Bay i Cuba te mea tuatahi o tana kaupapa. I tōna rā tuarua i te tari, i hainatia e Obama tētahi whakahau whakahaere e whai ana kia kati te pokapū herehere mō te hunga whakapae i te mahi whakatumatuma i roto i te tau kotahi. I kōrero a Perehitini Obama mō te whare herehere i te wā o tana whaikōrero ki te City Club o Cleveland i Ohio i te Rāapa. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I kii a Perehitini Barack Obama me kati e ia te whare herehere o Guantanamo Bay i te ra tuatahi i a ia i te tari. I tōna rā tuarua i te tari, i whakahau a Obama kia kati te whare herehere mō ngā whakapae whakawehi i roto i te tau kotahi. E 242 ngā mauhere o te whare herehere i te tīmatanga o te wā o Obama, engari kua heke te tokomaha ki te 122 anake. I whakautu ia ki tētahi pātai e pā ana ki te tohutohu e hoatu e ia ki a ia anō, e ai ki Politico. Ka mea ia: 'Ki taku whakaaro me kati e au a Guantanamo i te ra tuatahi.

E ai ki a Obama, i kaha haere te kaupapa tōrangapū e pā ana ki te kati, ā, 'i wehi te iwi i te kupu.' I kōrero a Obama i te wā o tana kōrero ki te City Club o Cleveland i Ohio i te Rāapa. I kii ia i te Wenerei ko 'te huarahi iti rawa o te aukati ko te waiho noa kia tuwhera.' Kua taea e ia te whakaiti i te taupori ki te 122 herehere, engari kua aukati te Kaunihera i te kati. Kua rāhuitia e ngā kaipōti te mana whakahaere a Obama ki te kawe mai i ngā herehere ki Te Hononga o Amerika mō te herehere, te whakawakanga rānei. I roto i tana State of the Union i te timatanga o tenei tau, i whakahuatia e Obama e hiahia ana ia kia kati te whare, e ai ki te ripoata a The Hill. Ka mea ia: 'E kore ahau e whakarereke i taku whakatau ki te kati.' I whakaatu te Minita Parenga a Ash Carter i mua i te Kaunihera i te Wenerei e hiahia ana te whakahaere ki te mahi tahi me nga kaitohutohu ture ki te kimi i tetahi huarahi 'ture' ki te kati i te whare herehere.

I kōrero a Obama i te wā o tana whaikōrero ki te City Club o Cleveland i Ohio. I hainatia e ia he whakahau kia kati te whare herehere i tana rā tuarua. E 242 ngā mauhere i te whare herehere i taua wā engari kua heke te taupori ki te 122. Kua aukati te Kaunihera i te katinga o te whare herehere mō te hunga whakapae i te mahi whakatumatuma.
