The one of the "worst" president ever. If I recall, some said he was the worst president ever replacing Carter. Now, you sound like Donald Trump, who can't help himself, and uses superlatives to describe everything. President Obama certainly is divisive, but it not all of his making. To say his skin color doesn't have anything to do with it, would be wrong. The deep division in the parties certainly started with him. It will affect his legacy, and not in a good way no matter who was responsible for it. Time will either raise or lower his presidency.

US manufacturing firms moved many of their operations to China, and other countries prior to him becoming president especially high tech items. He is trying to promoted trade in Asia with the fast track legislation, that he just received. China shouldn't fall on his shoulders.

How can anyone respect the US, after the utter turmoil we started with the Iraq war, and what has since?

Is anyone really qualified to become president, when they first take office? A former vice president (Nixon, Truman, and the first Bush probable come closest), may come close. You have to rely on your trusted advisors. If they are unqualified, you are going to have real problems.

Again with the superlatives. Cheney is still hanging around maybe not in Washington, but he can still get air time on Fox News. Now, there is the most untrustworthy person in or around Washington. "W" has taken the high road, since he left Washington. It would be better served, if Fox News gave him air time. Now, him I would listen to.
