Obama was far more militarily aggressive than I would have liked....but, he guided the country well through the worst economic times since the great depression. Trump has been lauded for saving a few auto jobs, which are questionable claims, Obama saved the whole industry....and was criticized for it all the way, but, it worked. He saved, and created many jobs.

Obamacare is a mess, but it can be improved and salvaged, of course the Republicans will never allow this as the healthcare industry is the largest source of donations to our bought Congress.

Obama did fairly well considering he had an opposition party dedicated to making him a failed President, I think history will be very kind to him.

That said, I want to see a turn to a much more Progressive agenda, but the election of Perez as DNC Chairman doesn't bode well......

"what Obama has accomplished as President "

The most important thing was to sign a climate deal with China, which led to the deal in Paris. Will it matter if Trump undoes that? Nope; China sees this as a chance to lead the world.

I'd say the gender and same sex stuff, although a lot more of that was the Supreme Court and States. And Cuba, which is perhaps the biggest.. But from what I read, we were being backed into a corner by the rest of the Americas and it would have been awkward if he hadn't. But he did.. I will give him that.

Truly, not much for 8 years though.

And there was ACA, which is a toad with warts. Real affordable health care won't come until we all move out of the country.
