If he was white Obama would be receiving grudging respect from all sides by now, it is nothing but rank and outright racism that he isn't seen as the saviour of a nation falling apart economically when he took power.

Please don't try and paint him as totally positive, While I agree he got left a mess from Bush he also has made mistakes that could end up being so epic he just might go down in history as one of the worst. he got his troops out of action alright but it's now a nightmare because of the way he did it.
- Rise of ISIS is on his watch
- The Iran NUKE deal is a complete joke
- A lot of American's think he's the most anti-American president in history
- He has deteriorated any relationship with Russia and China
- His "tough talk-no action" is now a joke with world leaders
IMO, If the middle east calms down and Israel survives Iran's future bomb threats the best Obama can hope for is a memory similar to Johnson, Taft or even Coolidge as presidential favorites.
