Guantanamo won’t be closing any time soon

And the Failbus rolls on…

BEIJING — President Obama directly acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay will not close by the January deadline he set, but he said he hoped to still achieve that goal sometime next year.

Obama refused, however, to set a new deadline.

This was a cornerstone of his entire claim to the presidency. Understandably, by the time he got elected and the grown-ups started thinking about the issue, his plans didn’t actually work out.

He’s failed to lead on any of his signature issues. You’ve all been Hope-a-Doped again.
