Criticized Bush over his failure to extricate us from Afghanistan, then proceeded to escalate our presence there even against the wishes of his own Party who he failed to convince. Republicans backed him on it no less!
No? He only failed to hold the peace won in Iraq under Bush, and failed to negotiate a status of forces agreement with Iraq's President al-Maliki, then ordered a precipitous pull out against the advice of his Military planners which led to the creation of Isis, and our re-entry into the combat zone with logistical and troop support to win back previously won territory.
Not even before that deal was certified, the Iranian Mullahs were boasting of their ability to achieve nuclear status under the agreement, and Obama ordered pallets full of cash shipped to them to help them fund their nuclear and terrorist activity. The centrifuges are still spinning, and Iran's nuclear program is alive and well.
He only sat by and watched that little Dog eating Nip launch ballistic missile test after ballistic missile test in provocative taunts threatening stability on the Korean peninsula as well as the entire East Asian rim. The U.S. sits powerless as the U.N. issues meaningless sanctions with no repercussions to N. Korea's belligerence and their willing violation of a negotiated non proliferation treaty.

He lost whatever leverage we had with Syrian rebels in that Civil war, relegated Turkey one of our strongest regional allies against Russian aggression to Muslim extremists, stood by haplessly as Russian troops invaded and annexed Crimea and the Ukraine, twiddled his thumbs as China threatened to dominate the waters in the South China Sea and threatened Taiwan, lost U.S. influence to help stabilize and hold the EU together, then watched as Great Britain voted to bolt (Brexit) despite his attempts to warn against it, lost influence over reformers in France & Argentina when Socialists in both countries could have been removed, lost favor with the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic reformers in Egypt following the Arab spring, & stabbed Israel in the back over Jewish settlements in the West Bank then refused to condemn a U.N. resolution against them.
Yep, true leadership.
