I'm amazed that people actually believe he'd be considered top 3 in a debate.

He has a great personality and is likable but how can anyone following the state of the economy over the course of 8 years, the GDP growth over 8 years, the increase in gov't assistance (people on food stamps/welfare), the amount of people out of a job, Obamacare and 20M+ in debt and even think this is up for debate.

He's very likable but that's not the only element for being a good president much less a great one

all time? no. from the past 50-60 years? definitely

Can't really judge so much since I'm not American but I don't think he was that bad nor was he that amazing. He was decent.

lol the delusion. If people were content with his presidency, they wouldn't have picked a Republican to replace him and risk destroying his long term plans and legacy.

The crucial thing here is that he's been sort of a lame duck during these 8 years since the rebublican dominated congress wprks against him so much.

But ppl here are way too gullible and blinded by his likeability and refuse to see he actually did some questionable decisions like the foreign policy in middle east, strenghtening the border to mexico with high fences and border patrols etc. And the fact that america IS so divided, polarised and with such huge economic gaps between differents regions,cities is not something that looks good on his CV and partially led to 50% placing their vote on Trump (obviously far from all of them are racist bigots),

pulled out of the middle east making it ripe for the picking by ISIS.
he implemented a healthcare plan that backfired and turned the country red and the congress republican which led to donald trump having enough support to take over and undo everything he did as president.

obama was ok as president, not the greatest i mean didnt FDR pull us out of the depression and help kick hitler's ass?

Yeah the youngsters here are way too uneducated in History. Again, Obama's done great stuff and is an awesome, funny guy and also very intelligent. But there's a reason FDR were reelected TWO times and basically the whole nation burst into tears when he died. He fixed US out of depression and he basically won WW2 and cemented US as THE superpower in US

He's up there with Lincoln, etc.
