The Washington Examiner has a run-down under the headline "missed deadlines pile up for Obama":
* Promised to close Guantanamo Bay prison within a year of taking office
* Set an August, 2009 deadline to pass health care reform
* Then, Christmas
* Now, March 18
* Vowed to sign health care bill in 2009
* Called for an energy bill by the end of 2009
* Sought a financial regulation bill by the end of 2009
* Demanded Iran prove by the end of 2009 that its nuke program was peaceful
Some of the delays will probably be blamed on those pesky Republicans, but, on the other hand, Mr. Obama's party, the Democrats, control both the House and the Senate.
