being a UK citizen (sorry, subject), my opinion on Obama is largely immaterial, but since you asked:

I broadly agree with much of Obama's rhetoric, and I imagine much of his policy (although I'm not clued up on the details, what with them hardly affecting me.)

I do disagree with him/his government on a number of issues though, including the International Law around his use of Drones, the fact that Guantanamo Bay has not been packed up and the people detained there tried for offenses or released, and on his surveillance and national security policy.

Insisting that people either support or oppose a politician 100% is ridiculous. Politics has hundreds of variables; you can't insist on a 100% match before you'll "support," or even "vote for," or even "campaign for" someone - or else the US would have 300,000,000 politicians all voting only for themselves.

Just so you know, Obama believes that Guantanamo Bay should be closed. The reason it is not closed is because he is unable to get the funding from congress to close it.

One needs money to stop doing something?

I suspect the reasons for not closing Gitmo are less clean and clear than "they won't let me boo-hoo"

Start with a thousand wrongful arrest and torture suits filed against everyone at all positions of government for ten years, and work down.

He's just unwilling to do anything about it.
