I don't think BHO was a good POTUS?
IMO
- When he left office the country was very divided - see BLM. See the election of Trump.
- He empowered Iran and alienated Israel (you know that is a hot button for me)
- Democrats lost more than one thousand seats in state legislatures, governorships, and Congress during his time in office. In fact. More Democratic state legislative seats were lost under Obama than under any president in modern history.
- ISIS rose on his watch
- Benghazi happened on his watch
- Debt levels increased to historic proportions on his watch with no plan of reduction. Specifically the national debt rose from $11.5Trn to $20Trn, despite tax increases on upper-income families, small businesses, investors, smokers, etc meanwhile, millions of additional Americans fell below the poverty line and the number of food stamp recipients increased significantly.
- ACA was a disaster. ~27 million Americans are still without health insurance, and many of the newly insured have just been added to Medicaid. It didn’t reduce cost as promised and it sent premiums and deductibles skyrocketing.
- Wasted taxpayer $$ on s Clash for Clunkers and Solyndra (both failed miserably).
- Over promoted PC culture. Now we cannot assume people's genders. The whole gender neutral bathroom.
- Did nothing about Russia taking Crimea.

When he left office the country was very divided - see BLM. See the election of Trump.
This isn't his fault. What could Obama have done to prevent this? Not much.

I disagree. You can feel differently.

That doesn't make him a bad president. Give me a time that a sitting President's party didn't lose seats during their term. You'd have to go back a ways. Republicans are going to do the same.
ISIS/Benghazi rose/happened on his watch
Not his fault. At all.
ACA was a disaster. ~27 million Americans are still without health insurance, and many of the newly insured have just been added to Medicaid. It didn’t reduce cost as promised and it sent premiums and deductibles skyrocketing.
ACA wasn't a disaster. Without it, my family, and many other families, wouldn't have affordable healthcare. More people got healthcare. With that said, it could have been better.
Over promoted PC culture. Now we cannot assume people's genders. The whole gender neutral bathroom.
Just don't be an ******* to people and you are fine. Again, he doesn't control this.
The only legitimate reasons you have here are 6 and 10. He isn't CLOSE to the worst president ever. Neither is Trump. Obama is above average, albeit slightly. You need to read up on some history. We have had far worse Presidents than Obama. If you think he is the worst than you have an extreme case of tunnel vision.
