The greatest criticism against Obama is partisan sensationalism or conspiracy theories. He's hated by Republicans now, but years down the line, once people aren't as emotional about the politics of the Obama years, people will be able to look at it from a fair and balanced perspective and see that Obama really wasn't all that bad. In fact, people might actually admit that Obama has been a pretty darn successful President.
He inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression and turned it into the best economy since the 1990s. He saved the American Auto Industry and made the decisions necessary to keep the country out of a second Great Depression. He ended the War in Iraq and captured Osama Bin Laden, all while keeping America out of further wars that the country doesn't belong in to begin with. He was able to get national healthcare passed, something Bill Clinton wasn't able to do. He was also able to end Don't Ask Don't Tell and open combat operations up to women, creating a more fair and just armed forced, this being something else Clinton tried to do but couldn't. He has also cut the deficit and under Obama, America is more energy independent than ever with gas prices now under $2 as opposed to near $5 during Bush's last year in office. All of this was done WITHOUT the potentially environmentally catastrophic Keystone Pipeline or ANWR exploration.
Obama has not had to deal with any real, credible scandal like Clinton did. Obama has not had a Hurricane Katrina on his watch. Of course the events of 2016 could change everything, but at the moment, I really think Obama was the right man for the right era and history will look back on him kindly for it.
So how do you think history will judge the Obama era?
Do you actually drink the Kool-Aid or are you main lining it?
I'm expecting 2016 to be a significant year economically and socially. There could be some major change coming...probably a lot of bad with hope for good on the other side of it.
I don't think people will look back on Obama that positively, but I don't think they'll look back at many other presidents and politicians fondly either. The mess that has been created over the years will leave a bad taste in people's mouths, and the attitude toward the political "leaders" running it all won't be good, IMO.
Barack Obama will be viewed as a failure as a president and as a complete failure as a leader.
History will not be kind to Obama, but the seeds of his own destruction were sown by the incredibly poor choices he made in choosing the people who filled his administration. If anything, he likely will be viewed as a social experiment gone bad.

History will not be kind to obama.
He posesses no qualities worthy of respect or repeating.
Obama will be seen as unethical, a chronic liar and achieving imaginary accomplishments only through the benevolence of his media propaganda machine.
The impact of his regime downstream will generate revulsion and regret.
History books written by Obama fawning progressives will be kind to Obama. Real history won't.
