you do realize that these ARE things he wants but there are quite many obstacles before reaching such goals.. honestly, I'd love to see you as the President of the United-States.. I'd love to see how well you would succeed. By the way, he still is trying to close it. They plan on doing it by January. Maybe it won't happen by then. Maybe it'll take longer.. so what? he's doing that he can. ''Mr Obama ordered the detention camp to be shut on his second day in office but administration officials have run into numerous legal, political and diplomatic hurdles.'' but ya.. lets just ignore that part because he hasn't succeeded yet.

perhaps.. I do agree that his is a little on the left side but he's not at the complete end of the left wing. He's simply trying to care more for the middle class and lower. Since you don't seem to care about the people who have less money and can't afford going to the doctors, you're probably a wealthy person. Does that mean you have to be selfish? I truly hope not..

my facts tell me there were 47 million Americans without it in 2008. That's not just like 5 million.. it's 47 million. And don't tell me it's not because they can't afford it.. even a friend of mine from the States was refusing to go see a doctor because it's too expensive.
anyway, point is, there are two sides to all of this. You can't just be closed minded and only want to see one side of everything. Yes, there are things he hasn't done. Some he hasn't succeeded at, some which are in progress but he has accomplished some of them. Don't ignore that part.
I found a website that's pretty interesting. Is it reliable? I don't know.. maybe. But it's still interesting:

but please don't try to speak for everyone in your country. That's just being very ignorant, close-minded and selfish.. and no, your country isn't better than any other so you don't need to say the whole thing 'United States of America'. It's like me saying 'Canada of North America of America'
no.. just the United States is fine
(and yes.. I do know its USA, you just don't need to spell the whole thing out)
