After Obama's first term, I was very disappointed with the state of the economy and lack of progress; I really didn't want to see him get a second term.
Looking at the state of the economy now as compared to when he got elected and considering that (in my opinion) he's affected change for the better in criminal justice reform, equal rights for gays, opening up communications with Cuba and Iran again, refusing to support Bibi's West Bank expansion policies(I know many here disagree with me that those are good things) ............I feel more positive than negative about his presidency overall.
And, I don't personally view America as a loser country in such dire straits that even someone who can't be relied upon or taken seriously in what he says from day to day (and says things like presumed-innocent family members of terrorists should be tortured or killed in attempt to get information) would be an improvement or a change for the better under any circumstances.
