The Obama era is over the next month. How do you rate his time in office?
For me,
Foreign policy: C
He completely lost the middle east to Russia and Iran. With the election of Trump, Russia may have everything it needs to terrorize eastern Europe into submission. But he reestablished relations with Cuba and didn't start a ground war someplace.
Domestic policy: B+
He expanded the social safety net and oversaw the economic recovery. The economy may not be the best right now but it was in total free fall in Jan. 2009 and could have ended worse. Gay and civil rights were defended but he was unable to get the right wing to go along with the democrat agenda. We ended up with Trump though a majority of voters did not vote for him.
