I think that is right that he made around 500 promises. I'm not sure why they only showed 132.
In fairness to Obama, it is only 1 1/2 years into his term so I wouldn't have expected him to have met all of his promises within his first 18 months in office. On the other hand, he acted like he was going to do some of those things immediately.
I am glad that he hasn't closed Gitmo. There is no good reason to close it. I think it would be very dangerous to release those terrorists into Illinois considering that a high percenatge of the ones they have released so far are have rejoined terrorist groups.

they say it right on the page:
PolitiFact has compiled more than 500 promises that Barack Obama made during the campaign and is tracking their progress on our Obameter
and the plan wasn't to release the terrorists in illinois, but to hold them at a currently empty federal facility...perhaps someone(s) made noise about the plan impacting his home state? surely not!
