President Obama acknowledged Wednesday that he will not meet his original January deadline for shutting down the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Obama told Fox News Channel that he was not disappointed that he would miss the deadline, which he set upon taking office in January, because "I knew this was going to be hard."

"We are on a path and a process where I would anticipate that Guantanamo will be closed next year," Obama said, declining to give a specific date.
