I think Trump did a decent job thru 2019 until he was unable to handle covid from a PR perspective. That said, I dont know what was so horrible about Obama's 8 years in office.

Obama wasn't the worst of Presidents (unlike the last two) but he is highly (very highly) overrated. When you actually look at the data he accomplished very little as he alienated the GOP with his very first engagement (Eric Cantor went to him and offered support for his ACA if he included a couple of GOP concerns especially Tort reform Obama told him "Elections have consequences" go pound sand). After that he only got two bills of consequence passed - ACA which wasn't fully successful and Dod-Frank which had mixed results and key elements had to be repealed (Repeal was even cosponsored by Frank). On the bad side he began the habit of the last three Presidents of throwing out or outright undermining everything his predecessor had implemented/accomplished whether it was good, bad working or not. I think the US would have been in a much better position if either of his opponents had beaten him.
