McCain: Closing Guantanamo Bay is the easy part - CNN.com(CNN) -- President Obama is facing great challenges as he takes office and may have made a hasty decision to close Guantanamo Bay without addressing all of the repercussions, Sen. John McCain told CNN's Larry King Thursday night.
"When Franklin Delano Roosevelt came to the presidency, it was economic challenges. We clearly faced the rise of Hitler and fascism, but early on it was mainly domestic issues," McCain said.
But President Obama has in front of him two wars, a crisis in the Middle East and a domestic economic crisis.
"This president faces domestic challenges and the national security challenges, so he's got a big job," McCain said.
