    If Hillary Clinton was President right now, there would be no humorous side.

    Well Trump has only been President for 3.5. I'd say the US reputation had declined since about a year after Obama took office. Obama was horrible on foreign policy.

    I reckon there'd be plenty of good memes and cartoons...

    You forget the time he spent in the leadup.....

    Obama may not have been everyone's cup of tea but he was a great orator and garnered a lot of respect ...

    Style over substance. People literally wept in the streets when he was elected. The Nobel Prize is another great example. The Arab Sporing was his crowning achievement until it became an abject failure. He was gifted at stirring hearts and minds, but there was nothing behind it.

    He is a powerful speaker for sure, but that's it he's all talk and a lousy leader. As far as respect he lost that in his 8 years.

He wasn't President of the international community, he was President of the United States. What matters to us is what we think of him here. He's one of the worst and most divisive Presidents this country has ever had.

    With Obama being one of the worst Presidents we ever had? It doesn't really matter how I feel about it, man. It is what it is.

    RANKED: The greatest US presidents, according to political scientists - it surprised me to see LBJs ranking....




    The 10 Worst Presidents

    James Buchanan
    Andrew Johnson
    Franklin Pierce
    Warren G. Harding
    William Henry Harrison
    Millard Fillmore (tie)
    John Tyler (tie)
    Herbert Hoover
    Chester A. Arthur
    Benjamin Harrison

    Not Ranked: Donald Trump

    Born: June 14, 1946
    Inauguration: Jan. 20, 2017
    Vice President: Mike Pence

    Trump was not included in the U.S. News rankings, but that hasn't stopped some historians from wondering where he will rank among America's best and worst in the White House.

    ______________________________________________


    Americans rank Barack Obama as best president of their lifetimes: Poll

    Trump is ranked as best or second best by 19 percent of Americans

    _____________________________________________

    It seems that this may be somewhat subjective... could it depend on the political leanings of the ranker...?
