Ultimately, presidents aren't assessed by what great people they were. Jimmy Carter is a great person, and he's regarded as a dud as a president. They're assessed by what tangible measures they accomplished and whether voters remember their term as a happy time. Obama, largely due to a dysfunctional Washington, didn't accomplish much. As for whether his term will be regarded as a happy time, it was pretty miserable for the large swathes of the country that never recovered from the 2008 financial meltdown.
