I'm glad to see that Congress is holding President Obama accountable. As much as I love him, I completely disagree with a passive party just because their candidate is in office. I think that this is a sign that America might be making some progress.
The issue at hand in this specific article is the closing of Guantanamo Bay. Although Pres. Obama has signed an exec order for the base to be closed by Jan 22, 2010, congress is requiring a detailed plan w=of where each prisoner will be expedited to. This may be a slow down, but I think that it is a good system that forces the president to think all the way through things and avoid stupid mistakes (ah hem. Afghanistan, I mean Iraq...wait who are we fighting again?)
