President Obama will relinquish office on 20 January and many are wondering what his legacy is. The fact is Obama came to power on an anti-war platform but he is leaving with the US embroiled deep in Afghanistan and Syria. His period has also seen the rise of the ISIS and the the Taliban dead has become alive again. He failed to project US power to China and Iran which captured uS sailors. All in all, he was a setback to great power status as he had his own agenda. He was Afro-American, a black with a Muslim father. Though claiming to be Christain he never once used the term Islamic terror.

While I agree with all the points you have made , it was also during his time that Osama was killed in a daring strike. I feel that although his tenure was not anything extra ordinary , he did make a lot of headway in Indo American ties..Now unless Trump comes up with something spectacular Obama may still be hailed as one of the best Presidents the US has had in the recent years!

Yes, Trump will be an unconventialnal president and will upset the status quo, thats why vested interests are opposing him and painting lurid tales about him
My daughter lives in the USA . Trump has compromised with some of the sayings that all the jobs are for Americans. Indians in the USA must leave. But my daughter says, as far as Indians, doing jobs in the USA did not have any problem with regards to their Jobs. I for one Trump's rule is safe to all those people from foreign countries, including Indians

From what I understood from daughter is being supported by you. Trump's rule is problem free. All Citizens from different countries are safe and happy.
Goes to show how idiotic this above comment is given the fact that Trump is yet to take office. Please don't reduce this site into a farce like yourself since this site is all about gaining knowledge and information ..

Absolutely Kalyani , now with support system I guess we will have more comedy here lol
Every president before Obama was embroiled in some controversy or the other. Obama brought in a lot of dignity to the presidential office of the United States ! Now with someone like Trump who is already mired in controversy , I am sure the political scenario would see a lot of ups and downs!

Yes, that is his biggest contribution. In contrast to Trump he looks a simple man.
MG Singh wrote:President Obama is now out and the Trump era has begun. I am afraid whatever Obama has done like Obamacare will be dismantled and the only thing of his legacy that will survive is the rise of the ISIS during his term.
Obamacare was dismantled within an hour after Trump took office . However, Obama alone cannot be blamed for the rise of ISIS , other nations too have contributed by not standing united and fighting them
