President-elect Barack Obama said Sunday that some of his campaign promises will have to wait ... [that] legal and national security concerns have postponed his promised closure of Guantanamo Bay.

In an interview with ABC's "This Week" that aired Sunday, Mr. Obama said he has come to realize that his pledge to close the federal detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within his first 100 days in office won't happen that soon.
When he was campaigning for the presidency, Mr. Obama regularly said the prison "sends a negative message to the world" and taints even trade-deal negotiations.

"To the extent that we are not being true to our values and our ideals, that sends a negative message to the world, and it gives us less leverage then when we want to deal with countries that are abusing human rights," he said during a primary-season debate in Iowa in December 2007.
