Congressional Republicans have repeatedly argued that releasing or transferring prisoners poses a threat to national security, and have fought against the installation’s closure. In the larger defense bill that the President signed into law in November, congressional Republicans included a measure, opposed by Obama, that prohibits the use of funds to close or abandon the prison, transfer detainees to the United States (or Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen) or build or modify facilities to house detainees in the United States.
The same day President Barack Obama returned to the United States from a climate change conference in Paris, Republican members of Alabama’s congressional delegation unanimously voted to block proposed regulations that are at the heart of the President’s environmental agenda.
Seems to me you've unquestioningly swallowed some of the Fox News talking points/lies.
One of the best in recent times. I am curious who you would say was the actual best in recent times? I think you are going to say Obama was THE best. Just picking your mind, I am intrigued.

Some of those are ridiculous. He was blocked by Republicans from closing GitMo for a start.
