In the final stretch of their terms, US presidents tend to market their ‘legacy’, muse about their ‘achievements’ in select interviews, reflect on the end of a glorious era, and so on. Despite saccharine sweet accounts by the likes of The New York Times, the Atlantic, and The Washington Post (which has launched a virtual museum glorifying the Obama presidency), Barack Obama himself is having a particularly frustrating time at it; he thinks he has accomplished big things, yet Americans just don’t seem to care.
As a frontline state in the war on terror, what would be our take?
There are undeniable highlights to the Obama presidency — he resisted direct Syrian intervention despite immense pressure, he mended fences with Iran and Cuba, and the recent visit to Hiroshima was a first. He is very charismatic, likable, and he gives great speeches. But history tends not to care for charisma. Decades from now historians will be paying more attention to brute facts, to what actually happened on the ground. And brute facts suggest that Obama is actually right up there among the worst US presidents ever.

Former FBI counterterrorism expert Kim Jensen goes one step further. His conviction is that Obama’s true legacy is the establishment of the Islamic State — “a harbinger event”, one “that has really changed the landscape of terrorism for the entire world. It’s been the single most significant event, I would say, in the last 80 or 90 years, since the 1920s.”
To me this was the most dangerous act of Obama. Turkish President also got trapped and started dreaming revival of Ottoman Empire. However all forgot Russian and Iranian potentials. Initial plans to occupy Iraq and Syria areas through ISIS for subsequent handing over to Turkey miserably backfired. Now all can see how the concept to establish Islamic State has changed the entire globe as landscape of terrorism.
Recent turmoil in Turkey not likely to die down easily. Due to leaks at all levels now masses are more educated about secret plans of world elite. Non political candidates like Trump keep on exposing such secret plans. There are strong likelihood that leader like Trump may win the driving seat to run US affairs. And if it happens world might start feeling change.
