I think we all sadly remember how easy it was for Jon Stewart and company to do this to President Dubya:

And now the Military Commissions Strike Back...
Obama the Candidate:
During the campaign, Mr. Obama criticized the military commission system as a failure, saying, “It’s time to better protect the American people and our values by bringing swift and sure justice to terrorists through our courts and our Uniform Code of Military Justice,” which is used to prosecute members of the armed services.
President Obama:
In a statement, President Obama noted that there was a long American tradition of using military commissions, and said the administration was proposing changes to make them provide fairer justice.
Mr. Obama said the commissions would be used as one avenue for prosecution along with existing American courts. “This is the best way to protect our country, while upholding our deeply held values,” the statement said.
As Stewart said:
Yes We Can
*But That Doesn't Necessarily Mean We're Going To
