Narrative:

The captain and I were flying flight XXX. We were holding short of runway 23L on runway 28 (normal). The tower controller cleared us to cross runway 23L and position and hold runway 23R. We were doing the before takeoff checklist. As we started to taxi, I cleared final and saw an aircraft on short final. The aircraft seemed to be coming in fairly fast. I told the captain that there was an aircraft coming quickly, he stopped to also look and agreed. However, at that point, the aircraft was about 4-5 ft across the hold short line. We queried the controller. He, being frustrated, told the other aircraft to go around. He angrily stated that at the time of the clearance there was adequate separation. We were then reclred to cross runway 23L, and cleared for takeoff runway 23R. The separation between a B737 taking off on runway 23R and us ended also being fairly close.
