* turned around the economic mess inherited from 8 years of failed republican policies
Actually, the economic recession was caused by relaxation of banking regulations resulting in large numbers of home loans made to people who couldn't pay them back. Those were sold to another bank, then another, till finally someone got caught holding the bag. Go back a little further and we find that it was the result of a class action lawsuit filed by 3 people in Chicago, and guess who their lawyer was...Obama. It ended up with 186 people signed on, most of them have long since gone into foreclosure or sold out, leaving less than 20 still owning their homes. The original claim was that the bank, Citibank I think, was discriminating against them because of race. (probably not the first time Obama played the race card, certainly not the last.)
Congress was pressured into relaxing bank regulations, they started writing loans to thousands of people they knew could not pay up, resulting in a bubble in the housing market, ending in a recession when it all hit the fan. Contrary to liberal claims, Bush fought it. (I hate having to defend Bush, can't stand the rotten lying bastard.)

Only to save face. Why did it take several months before he did anything about ISIS at all, after an American an a British journalist were beheaded (while Obama was on vacation) and he did nothing. A quick speech and he was back on the golf course less than 10 minutes later joking it up with his pals. By contrast, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron was also on his first day of vacation. He cancelled his vacation, went back to London and got Parliament together, in 2 days they had legislation in place to allow them to confiscate passports of anyone coming back from the middle east and detain them if necessary, until they could be sure they had no malicious intentions. Obama did nothing. We still have nothing like that, instead he's bringing people in from Syria as fast as he can, while we know we have no way of finding out who they are, where they actually come from, and what their intentions are. So far, I think it's 10,000 this year, Hillary wants a 550% increase.
Obama is doing as little as possible, just enough to look like he's doing something. Killing Bin Laden was a stroke of luck.
When he finally did order airstrikes, he announced it a couple of weeks ahead of time, so they had plenty time to get ready and hide. The first 2 months, 125 airstrikes, less than 30 casualties. When Bush originally invaded Iraq (which I didn't agree with, and he lied about) we were running 200 airstrikes or more PER DAY and wiped out Saddam's entire army in 90 days. Obama has been after ISIS for over a year, they are still spreading, all over the world. If he had really wanted to do anything about it, we could have wiped them out in the same 90 days.
* implemented national health insurance which allowed 90% of the country to now have coverage
Insurance premiums have skyrocketed, ditto for deductibles, premium increases for next year will be 25% TO 68% In Arizona. Bill Clinton of all people, called it the "craziest thing in the world". Cost has gone up, quality and services have gone down, many insurance companies are pulling out, over half the exchanges set up have already gone bankrupt, and your taxes are paying for boatloads of illegal immigrants to get free medicaid. In some states, you only have one option, one insurance company, cost is astronomical, coverage is less than before, 60% of the countries doctors are dropping medicare and medicaid, 80% have out themselves on the fast track to early retirement. I've read articles the past week or two saying at least a million people will lose their coverage next year.
* implemented the HARP program that allowed homeowners with little or no equity to refinance mortgages
Which is an open invitation to another housing bubble and a repeat of the 2008 recession. Writing loans to people who couldn't pay up was the original problem to begin with.
* restored our image and standing in the court of world opinion
Not long ago Obama went to China. He was the only foreign "leader" who did not get a stairway and red carpet. They had to use the rear ladder of the plane to get on the ground, then got into an argument with Chinese officials. The rest of the world's true leaders have no respect for Obama whatsoever, and don't trust him at all, one of the biggest reasons is his famous "red line" in Syria, which he failed to enforce. They also know how much he lies to us and to them, and they know he is a weak, spineless, dishonest, corrupt slug. Hillary didn't help, she was rude to foreign diplomats when abroad, refused to ride in the limos with them, preferring to ride with Huma. Many considered that a major snub and felt insulted. Obama is seen as a corrupt liar, cheat and fraud and is laughed at abroad.
* so much more that time does not allow to list"
You mean like Fast and Furious? Lying about Benghazi? Lying about Obamacare? Lying about everything else? Operation Choke Point?* Higher taxes? More government regulations than any other president in history, which is killing small businesses? More than doubling the national debt to almost $20 trillion now? (it was $9 trillion when he started) The list goes on...
