Obama was a good president in many ways but he was also weak militarily and had many foreign policy missteps. one could even say his handling of Syria showed Russian his weakness and paved the way for them to invade and annex Crimea. If that wasn't a show of weakness watching 300 people blown from the sky by a Russian missile and doing nothing certainly was.
