In an interview with Time magazine, Mr Obama listed a series of benchmarks his team had set during his presidential campaign. Asked how voters would know whether his administration was succeeding in two years, he said: "On foreign policy, have we closed down Guantanamo in a responsible way, put a clear end to torture and restored a balance between the demands of our security and our constitution?"

Mr Obama was named the magazine's Person of the Year for what Time called "the confidence to sketch an ambitious future in a gloomy hour". Analysts say closing the military prison will not be easy. Some 250 men are still being held at the facility in Cuba and many fear persecution if they are sent home.
