No Downside For O

VOA News - US Senate Democrats Withhold Funding to Close Guantanamo Prison: "U.S. Senate Democrats have decided not to provide funds to close the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center until President Barack Obama's administration presents a detailed plan for what to do with the 240 detainees being held there. It is a setback for Mr. Obama, who wants to close the facility by January of next year..."

A setback? Surely, you jest. This gives Obama the perfect excuse, and the perfect fall guy--Congress, to not close Gitmo, and he gets off the hook for one of his campaign promises. "Setback" my, uh, seat.
