SNL parody - fact or fiction?

If you ever wanted evidence of media bias, you need only read this Yahoo news piece (which I assume is an AP produced piece).

The article assesses Obama's success against his campaign problems.......

1. Close the American military prison at Guantanamo Bay:
2. Pull all troops out of Iraq:
3. Improve the situation in Afghanistan:
4. Reform the nation's health care system:
5. Cut down on global warming:
6. Reform the nation's immigration policies:
7. Changing the military's policies on gay soldiers:
8. Placing limits on executive powers:
9. Prosecute those who facilitate torture:

Reading through the analysis Obama would get a big "F" on all these initiatives, even in today's public schools system.

But the writer's conclusion.........

So, taking all of this into consideration, are SNL's satirical criticisms of President Obama's do-nothingness valid? Probably not, mainly because, as illustrated by the old adage about how one shouldn't watch sausage or legislation get made, the process of "change" and getting anything done in Washington is a long and messy one, and Obama is merely nine months into his term as president. But that doesn't mean that Saturday's SNL skit was humorless, which, for once, it most definitely was not.

Now wait a minute, some of these initiatives could have been accomplished simply by waving his wand over the process (see don't ask don't tell). In addition, Obama didn't qualify his campaign statements with the caveat of "I will close Guantanamo with the cooperation of congress".

So exactly how would this writer judge "doing something"?
