Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
For example, a large chunk of America for unfathomable reasons do not want affordable universal healthcare.
Barack replacing May would be cool as fuck though
When I watch Trump, I see a liar whose pants are on fire. Tremendous amount of fire, bigly.

funnily enough, this evening I was talking to wife and we concluded that Michelle is oozing class of the most natural kind
the sort of class that no amount of money and walk into an expensive clothes shop and buy
she just has it..
was he a great president??
not so sure.. good bits and bad bits…
he could come across as being a bit fake at times..
when he walks away, the people I really feel for are the Americans themselves..
in a two way contest between Clinton and Trump there was never anyone credible to vote for..
both are equally scary
We now have cause to thank that system though, it'll rein in Trump's worst excesses.
You can't have it both ways unfortunately.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
@heartfeltdawn - you know as well as I do that the one man who is President has the job of working with the hundreds of men and women who have been elected representatives for their patch of the US. Saying those elected hundreds are wrong and one man is right is exactly what the American system is intended to prevent - that is why even some Democrats have been critical of his second term of resorting to the 'pen' without consultation.
@mellowsun said "For example, a large chunk of America for unfathomable reasons do not want affordable universal healthcare.". Unfathomable? Because a couple of hundred Americans think different to you their reasoning is unfathomable?!
Charismatic and an elequant speaker yes but a good statesman and president? Not by a long chalk IMO.

And yes, hundreds can be wrong. Some of those elected hundreds are wrong in exactly the same way that I would say that MPs who voted for war in Iraq based on subservient bowing to party Whips rather than moral decision making were wrong. Allegiance to party policy above moral and ethical consideration can be dreadfully wrong.
I don't consider Obama to be a great leader but that is true of the majority of leaders out there right now. We don't have great leaders about and the idea of a solitary individual being able to revitalise everything is bunkum. Obama came in at an incredibly difficult time: terrorism and financial collapse and a lot of internal pressures societally. It is unlikely that McCain or Romney would have done any better.
I presume that you dislike foreign bodies getting involved in foreign elections and therefore damn Nigel Farage for his regular appearances with Donald Trump then.
I agree that Obama has been a mixed success. His ideals ran ahead of the realities of what he ended up doing, both because he promised too much, and because others actively tried to frustrate him for no good reason. He also left some of the key foreign policy decisions to those who may not have been the right choices (yes, I do mean Hillary among others) and failed to take really decisive action when he could have on others.
On balance I'd give him a positive report, but not quite as good a President as he should and possibly could have been.
