According to Washington Post and ABC News poll, a majority of Americans and even many Democrats consider President Obama’s tenure to be a “failure.” The poll 52-42 shows Americans answered that Obama has been more of a failure than a success. Registered voters (55-39) are more resolute with four in 10 (41 percent) saying they “strongly” believe Obama has been a failure.
Obama has been a failure according to one in four Democrats (25 percent), nearly three in 10 liberals (29 percent) and according to nine of ten conservative Republicans (92 percent). Nearly one in five liberals (18 percent) say they feel “strongly” that Obama has been a failure.
The mainstream recognition of Obama’s failure started gaining steam in July 2014 when a surge of migration reached crisis proportions when tens of thousands of women and children from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador migrated to the United States.
On July 9, 2014 a hearing on the crisis was held by the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. In a testimony of Statement of Craig Fugate Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency U.S. Department of Homeland Security was that “We are talking about large numbers of children, without their parents, who have arrived at our border—hungry, thirsty, exhausted, scared and vulnerable.”

I like to read books on presidential history and have a dozen books on the subject. From my armchair perspective and subtracting presidents that served short terms, and even those who served during uneventful times, I’d easily rank Obama with the worst presidents in history by comparison.
FYI…I voted for Obama twice and consider myself an independent.
