Yet another Obama promises reaches its expiration date

And this time it is a very good thing. That little PR stunt about closing Gitmo by January; yep, that's not gonna happen.

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.

But my favorite part of the explanation is this little gem:

Closing the facility, he added, is "also just technically hard."

Got that, being President is hard!!

By the way -- maybe Bush was right when he said that Gitmo was the best of a bunch of bad options.
