But, at the same time, I think that Obama's been handling the Russia and China and, hopefully, the Iran pieces fairly well. I think he's struggled with ISIS and chaos in the broader Sunni-dominated Middle East, you know, and Iraq, Syria, Libya, etceteras. I think there his legacy is not so good. But overall I would say that it's reasonably solid, given the huge challenges he had to deal with on his watch."
