Why is that great? Obama was a loser in terms of what he did in office. Mediocrity might best describe his accomplishments. I'll submit and give you he was one hell of an orator when reading a script and certainly he was excellent at getting elected. As a manager and leader however, he was crap at best. I'd have voted for him as class president in high school... but that position is and was meaningless as is Obama in terms of his accomplishments.
Only partisans view his years this way.
In general, the Obama years are seen as the best of the 2000's. He inherited one of the worst crashes in decades. He acted fast and passed a stimulus package that many on the right said would lead us into depression - but it did the opposite, and sparked a recovery that lasted through the Trump years.
