On the whole I consider it a failure. I think if he could do it over again, he wouldn't have bothered trying to reach across the aisle in his first two years and would have just rammed through legislation while they still had the house. Maybe an Obamacare closer to a single payer system. The economy on a whole is good, but it never really recovered for the working and middle class. Just more corporate profit.
It's not all his fault, and there are wins for sure. The Iran deal is good, but there are serious foreign policy failures. Libya and Iraq and legitimately disasters. Again, stuff he was stuck with, but he was there long enough to let continued failure go on his scorecard.
As a person though? Obama is probably the best president in my lifetime.
