Making promises that they cannot keep is standard, par for the course. Like closing Gitmo. He did everything in his power to get that done. Congress on the other hand pass a law that negated his EO. Promise not kept.
Congress can't pass a law by themselves. It has to clear congress, be passed by the Dem-controlled senate then signed into law by the ever so Dim POTUS. Two thirds of the government was controlled by Obama and his party when this law passed. Obama could have vetoed it. He signed it into law. Nobody else. He owns it.
But you knew this before you repeated this lie.

President Signs Defense Authorization Act

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2011 Noting his objection to two of its provisions, President Barack Obama signed the fiscal 2011 defense authorization act into law Jan. 7.
The Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 is named for former U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, longtime chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who lost his House seat in Novembers election.
The act authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy programs, the president wrote in a statement accompanying the signings announcement.
Obama registered strong objections to two of the acts provisions related to transfer of detainees from the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. One prohibits the use of funds appropriated by the act to transfer Guantanamo detainees into the United States, and the other bars the use of certain funds to transfer detainees to the custody or effective control of foreign countries unless specified conditions are met.
But despite his objections to the two sections, the president said in his statement, I have signed this act because of the importance of authorizing appropriations for, among other things, our military activities in 2011.
The act governs a wide range of Defense Department activities, including procurement; research, development, testing and evaluation; equipment operation and maintenance; military personnel authorizations and policy; and reserve-component management.
