President Obama has fought with Congress to close GITMO, the blame lies at the feet of Congress and especially at the feet of The GOP and 'the blue dogs'

Like a said before ...

To see the timeline of what's been going on the past THREE years read the following thread of updates from the bottom up:

If it wasn't for Congress' obstruction the situation would have been taken care of long ago.

It has NOT been the fault of President Obama.
