Anyone remember the big ol' freak out in congress in response to closing Gitmo and moving detainees to the U.S. proper? In 2009, the Senate approved an amendment to the Supplemental Appropriations act for that year that blocked funds to move or release Gitmo detainees, by a vote of 90-6. That shit wasn't gonna happen. And maybe Obama ought to have known better, but he sure isn't exclusively at fault there.
