(2,541 posts)At this point in time good but not great. History will give the final decision. There are some really good things he did. Stabilized the economy, ended the conflicts, killed bin laden, ACA. There are also some really questionable things he did as well. Looking forward, not back on torture and Wall Street, being virtually silent on Russia.
He may very well be considered great at some point. Who knows how bad things may have become had he not handled the economic catastrophe he inherited as he did by stopping the free fall and shoring it up. There is also the aspect of him having to deal with an obstructionist congress. He is certainly the best president to hold the office during my lifetime. He most certainly would have been considered great had he had he been able to implement more of his agenda if not for republicans.
