He was unfit for the job in the first place because he never ran anything in his life.
He had the House and Senate for the 1st part of his presidency!Agree with this sentiment for the most part. He was a good president in most ways. "Hope and change" it was not, would have liked to see what he could accomplish with even a little cooperation across the aisle. But he got a lot of things moving in the right direction.

I think he will be harshly criticized by historians for his short-sighted exit from Iraq. The government was not nearly stable enough to control the country and we've all seen the dire consequences.
lulz at all the A's in Economy. It's like nobody gives a fuck about the national debt.
Great for the relatively low scandal & corruption levels.
If you print 7 trillion dollars, you can have a good time for a while. The problem is it creates a foundation built on sand. We are setting records alright look at the:Which is why he was able to help turn the economy around despite the republican resistance to any progress.
Economy: A
Foreign Policy: B-
Environment: B-
Communication: A+
Healthcare: C+
Gay Rights: A
Overall probably like a high B to a really low A. If he got the public option in the ACA that would've turned into an A. If he had killed the leader of ISIS before leaving office, Foreign Policy would've turned into an A.
Generally speaking he's responsible for moderate improvement in just about every area of concern.
How does the president get blamed for how we as citizens treat each other. That's seems like a cheap way to pass the buck. And what could he realistically have done about shootings in Chicago?Race Relations: F-, about as worse as can possibly be imagined, his own city experiences record numbers of shooting and he does exactly what to prevent that? NOT A DAMN THING, plus all the
BLM/riots/whiny protesters, we're much worse off in that regards than under Bush or Clinton or Reagan

National Debt
Corporate Debt
Student Loans

These are not signs of health. It will come to a head, because we didn't learn anything from the last crises. Even a 10 year old knows that you don't solve a debt crises with more debt! If someone thinks this works, go to Zimbabwe and see how it worked for them.
How would he have been judged for staying? I think badly. I don't really see what's happened since as necessarily being worse than staying would be even in hindsight. It's just a messed-up area, and outside of really stepping up far beyond what the public has a stomach for, I don't see much America can do.
Did he not run on hope and change, and as a uniter?How is the president get blamed for how we as citizens treat each other. That's seems like a cheap way to pass the buck. And what could he realistically have done about shootings in Chicago?
Lol at grading having "gay rights" as a top 6 measure for a president, like its as important as the economy or foreign policy
does every other president prior to bush get an F?

This sounds good, i give Snowden a pass tho, nerd priviledgeEconomy: A-
Foreign policy: D
Change to Washington: F
Gay rights: A-
Drug enforcement: D (No permanent change and a few commutations didn't help the thousands incarcerated)
Environment: B
Healthcare: B- (not bad really, but the you can keep your doctor/insurance lie bugged me as did the website rollout debacle- but most other presidents get an F in this category)
Debt/deficit- B (though I understand his position regarding the debt, he really brought the deficit down - debt payments as a percentage of our gdp aren't crazy out of control so I don't really care about it hitting 20T)
Fuck Edward Snowden
