He created more chaos and restarted tensions with Russia? Please tell me more about how he did this.
Also, the Tweeter in the OP does realize there will be more local/state elections next year, right? I can guarantee no President's legacy has ever been his party's seat count at the end of his 7th year in office.

Clean Power Plan and other environmental acts, if not killed by BigOil's s in Congress and in slave/red states.
In the health care inflation game unfortunately....prices are rising much slower today than they did without the ACA....I favor single payer as should any rational adult...
ACA made health care affordable, accessible for people who couldn't get any due to disease, infirmities, for really poor people now covered by expanded Medicaid (except in the red, slave states).
ACA doesn't set prices (your Repugs even REGULATED that Medicare couldn't negotiate with BigPharma, had to pay full freight), your insurance company does. at them.
None the less, Obama's legacy will be the ACA, that's long-term...In the short term..ISIS...we're still ing up in the Middle East like we did South and Central America in the 60's-now...the history of ISIS and FARC aren't that far apart...
Obama administration seeks to negotiate Medicare drug prices
The Obama administration said on Monday it would seek authority to negotiate prices for high-cost drugs under the government's Medicare Part D program, which offers private drug coverage for senior citizens and the disabled.
President Barack Obama's new $3.99 trillion budget for fiscal-year 2016 proposes allowing the U.S. secretary for health and human services to negotiate prices for biotechnology treatments and other high-cost drugs in Part D "to ensure access to and affordability of these treatments."
But the plan would require the administration to get a green light from Congress, where Republicans who control the House of Representatives and Senate have openly favored market forces over government intervention as a vehicle for containing healthcare costs.
Congress prohibited Medicare from negotiating directly with drug companies in 2003 when it created Part D under then-President George W. Bush.

One of those 'clauses' they don't tell you about...Congress prohibited Medicare from negotiating directly with drug companies in 2003 when it created Part D under then-President George W. Bush
You just can't help yourself
Sure, but it happened during his administration... sometimes you get that kinda freebies... one would suspect a GOP president would've pressed on with an equivalent to DOMA if it had the chance...
H would not leave Russia alone on his own backyard and the ''moderate'' rebels he supports have a tendency to disappear after the autocrat is gone.
Somehow managing to up the middle east even more than it already was
Is that possible? Our Allies in the region still lobe heads...
You will also be eternally butthurt.
Of course its possible, you can always cut of more heads and eat more hearts.
Nobody will be. Sometimes i forget Bush ever existed.
You underestimate Darrin's capacity for butthurt.
this fatuous asshole is nearly always wrong,like William Kristol and all Repugs/conservatives, so caveat emptor
Great News! We’re Not Doomed to Soaring Health Care Costs
The good news is that recently health care inflation has been at historic lows. As Jason Furman, the chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, put it in a speech to the Hamilton Project last month, “Health care prices have grown at an annual rate of 1.6 percent since the Affordable Care Act was enacted in March 2010, the slowest rate for such a period in five decades, and those prices have grown at an even slower 1.1 percent rate over the 12 months ending in August 2015.”
As a result of the slowdown in health care inflation, the Congressional Budget Office keeps reducing its projections of the future cost of federal health programs like Medicare. As of October, projections for federal health care spending in the year 2020 were $175 billion lower than the projections made in August 2010. That would be a huge budget improvement.
We seem to be making at least some incremental progress toward a structural reduction in health care inflation. Many Americans are feeling gloomy about accomplishing anything these days, but progress is possible. We haven’t whipped health care inflation, or defeated our intractable budget issues. But the evidence suggests we’re landing a few serious blows.

"progress is possible" as seen by PROGRESSIVE policies of ACA
progress everywhere else has been and will be obstructed by Repugs who keep getting voted in by the citizens they over.
