WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's decision to close the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, military prison by Jan. 22 was followed by a series of mistakes and missteps by his administration that will delay the prison's closure for months, according to a report from a policy organization with close ties to the White House.
Those mistakes — which ranged from initially having too few people on board to handle the workload to misreading Congress — have put the timetable months behind schedule and will push the prison's closure well beyond the January deadline, which Obama announced with great fanfare two days after he took office.
The White House declined to comment on the report.

Obama is a skilled campaigner, Chicago-style. It was naive of the Democrats to think he’d be a good POTUS.
At least he tried, unlike that evil Bush. /sarc
Obama bungled something? I’m shocked!
I would love to see Guantanamo still open when he leaves office at the end of his first term. It would make the perfect ending to his failed presidency with he first action being unfulfilled.
It’s everybody’s fault but Obama’s. Who was that other Democrat - you know - something to do with a buck that stops somewhere?
How could this happen?? He is five times smarter than all the other presidents combined!
I’d like to see him LOCKED UP in Guantanamo along with the Goebbles like Axelrod and the rest of the communist bastards that infest the White House.
Oh?
Who knew? LOL
Too bad the McClatchy quislings didn't follow through asking this, "policy organization with close ties to the White House" about everything else the bumbler-in-relief's screwed up while they were at it.
If they had it'd have been enough to fuel stories ad naseum for months to come, with the added benefit of being truthful for once. LOL
what’s left unsaid by all the presstitutes is that if Guantanamo was the horrible gulag the demleftlibholes claimed it was, an unacceptable human rights horror show, then why is it acceptable for Obamo to leave it open another year? Wouldn’t that make him and his henchmen guilty of all the same sins they accused the Bush Administration of?
This is the death knell for Gregg Craig.
And the welcome party for Dunn’s husband.
Watch for Glenn Beck to follow the dots and further annoy the O cabal.
CNN has gotten rid of Dobbs, wonder what they’ll do next to get rid of Beck.
“CNN has gotten rid of Dobbs, wonder what they’ll do next to get rid of Beck.”
??what did you mean?? You do know that Glenn Beck is on Fox News now and has been for months? He left CNN!
I was suggesting that the administration forced CNN to dump Beck and I think they will put pressure on FNC to dump Beck.
Sorry I didn’t make myself more clear
Obama is a series of mistakes he’s just pure idiot.
connect the zeros....
Oh, thanks for the clarification.
I don’t think Fox will be letting Glenn go anywhere. His ratings are hugh!
You mean the Master Chess Player somehow missed a move? Paging Garry Kasparov!
Obama has bungled every thing he has touched since taking office.
