On the other hand, Obama's foreign policy was a complete, incoherent mess starting with Libya (where he bombed the country without Congressional approval and opened a massive migration out of that country into Southern Europe), Egypt (where the Muslim Brotherhood rose to power in the vacuum he created), lack of action against ISIS when it was apparent they were gaining territory, Syria (where he was completely outplayed by Russia and found himself arming a hodge-pdoge of rebels with so many alliances it's impossible to keep count), a poorly thought-out Iran deal which future leaders will have to deal with), weaker alliances with Turkey and Eastern Europe and needless antagonizing of Israel. To name a few. Where does the author come off claiming America wasn't the problem? Has he noticed Obama's drone killings without due process? Oh, about Obamacare, it was a disaster and contributed (and so-so economy)  to Trump's election. Obama was at best mediocre as President in my lifetime.
