In his 2016 State of the Union address, President Obama summarized his achievements. That same night, the White House issued a press release touting Obama's accomplishments.
Now that he will be leaving, how well did these initiatives listed in the press release actually work out?
"Securing the historic Paris climate agreement."
The accord was never submitted to Congress as a treaty. It will be ignored by President-elect Trump.
"Achieving the Iran nuclear deal."
That "deal" was another effort to circumvent the treaty-ratifying authority of Congress. It has green-lighted Iranian aggression, and it probably ensured nuclear proliferation. Iran's violations will cause the new Trump administration to either scrap the accord or send it to Congress for certain rejection.
"Securing the Trans-Pacific Partnership."
Even Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton came out against this failed initiative. It has little support in Congress or among the public. Opposition to the TTP helped fuel the Trump victory.
"Reopening Cuba."
The recent Miami celebration of the death of Fidel Castro, and Trump's victory in Florida, are testimonies to the one-sided deal's unpopularity. The United States got little in return for the Castro brothers' propaganda coup.
"Destroying ISIL" and "dismantling al Qaeda."
We are at last making some progress against some of these "jayvee" teams, as Obama once described the Islamic State. Neither group has been dismantled or destroyed. Despite the death of Osama bin Laden, the widespread reach of radical Islam into Europe and the United States remains largely unchecked.

It’s a list of his failures plain and simple. Oh, and there’s also that facebook meme going around about how there were no scandals during his admin. Yeah right!
Frankly, we don’t need to dwell on or think about “Obama’s Legacy - what it means, what it doesn’t blah blah.”
He is over and gone in a month and change and we are done with America’s experiment in racial healing, affirmative action and white liberal guilt. IT DID NOT WORK! Not one damn bit.
We will be dealing with the usual sewage that clogs and backs up our sewers for a while, but plenty of bleach and Drano will fix that right up.
Don’t worry yourselves over the ‘Legacy of Obama’. It was an experiment gone horribly wrong.
I disagree with the good doctor’s concluding sentence:
“So Obama now departs amid the ruin of the Democratic Party into a lucrative post-presidency: detached and without a legacy.”
Obama’s legacy is the massive damage he has inflicted on the moral fiber of our people. All his other destructions are reversible. The death of our collective soul, maybe not.
This, most assuredly. His promotion of the deviant and deplorable homosexual lifestyle; his totally demoralizing of our military by forcing sexually deviant behavior on them; his celebration of queers being able to legally marry; his exalting them as a protected class above even Christians. There's no recovery from these abominations. He's the most evil president we've ever had. Worse even than his democRAT predecessor, bill klinton.
The only ‘legacy’ obama has left behind is eight years of weakening the US and making Americans an international laughingstock.
