10 Historians on What Will Be Said About President Obama's Legacy

I like this summation the best:

Obama’s election ironically had the opposite effect. The President’s opponents questioned his legitimacy from the beginning. The leader of the opposing party declared that the highest priority—more important than the public good—was to make sure Obama would not be reelected. This imperative failed, but the racism that runs so deep in American culture was unleashed as it had not been for two generations. The bandages have been ripped off the sores, which are now open and festering in public culture.

Was Obama then a failure? No. American public culture has failed. We were not ready for a black president. He cedes power on Friday to the very people who questioned his legitimacy and denied him the right to govern. They have already begun to demolish his accomplishments. But historians eventually will also calculate the benefits of the Affordable Care Act, look back on the results of the opening to Cuba, appreciate his admittedly belated environmental activism, and notice that his Administration was virtually scandal free.

Top eight. Eventually.

Eventually, Obama will be seen as one of our greatest presidents

That would be indeed a true MIRACLE as he has already been classified by countless experts as the WORST president in our history, finally supplanting the peanut-brain, Jimmy Carter. I won't bore you with the dreadful stats on Obama's years, suffice it to say that his record in almost every corridor of performance is as bad as a horror movie. That anyone with a record such as his could ever be considered remotely as one of the BEST presidents in all of American history is beyond laughable!

you did not mention these....

But, with respect to other pressing issues—reducing widening economic inequality, moving beyond overly militarized approaches to foreign policy and confronting the ecological damage of climate change—Obama made only marginal, even negligible gains, and did not achieve the progressive, political breakthrough he promised. His soaring oratory and dignified bearing will be fondly remembered for its vision of a more perfect union—one that President Obama was decidedly unable to deliver.

His legacy is also leaving the Democratic Party in pretty bad shape, so that puts his legacy at even greater risk. He’s not like FDR—FDR accomplished a lot in policy but he left the party in a strong position by the time that his presidency ended. He’s more like Lyndon Johnson in that he got a lot of things on the books but his party might have been in weaker condition when he left office than when he started.
top 20 eventually...

Hell you can not name the first black member to the Senate, so no one will remember Obama...

The fallback to everyone is a racist instead of listing his accomplishments simply validates he is the worst Prez ever.

No. Republicans have smeared the Clinton's for over 30 years. Investigating them every way possible. Senate Investigators, House investigations, FBI, even CIA looking at people they knew. Then the press not only looking at every intimate detail of their lives, but making shit up they later had to recant or admit it was only speculation.
In the meantime, they helped hundreds of millions of people, Hillary got healthcare for first responders, even forced Trump into sending a Hospital ship to Puerto Rico.
Trump has been in office less than a year. And he is surrounded by scandal. The list goes on and on. Just his foundation alone is a criminal investigation.
