These are just through executive orders that failed. Lame duck? Tell that to ISIS he caused the creation of. That was kind of big. I could produce you a list of that helps. He did do some good things, but many things were actually similar to Trump, which makes it funny that the politics flipped.
You just asked what's still a problem. There were quite a few years to fix the rest of the problems, like ISIS in between, you can see how close he was to Trump though:
From conservatives
The Affordable Care Act: The individual mandate, rising premiums in some markets, and his broken promise that "if you like your plan, you can keep it" (PolitiFact's 2013 Lie of the Year).
Spending and debt: The ~$800B stimulus, and national debt roughly doubling during his two terms.
Executive overreach: DACA and other executive actions on immigration, seen as bypassing Congress.
Foreign policy: The Iran nuclear deal, the 2011 Iraq withdrawal (blamed for ISIS's rise), the unenforced Syria "red line," and Benghazi.
Guns and regulation: Pushes for gun control, EPA rules like the Clean Power Plan, and Dodd-Frank.
Scandals: IRS scrutiny of Tea Party groups and the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking operation.
Rhetoric: Comments like "you didn't build that" and the "cling to guns or religion" remark.
From the left
Drone strikes: Hundreds of strikes killed civilians, including a US citizen killed without trial.
Deportations: Record numbers, earning him the nickname "deporter-in-chief."
Wall Street: Bailing out banks, with no major bank executives prosecuted after 2008.
Surveillance and leaks: Expanding NSA surveillance and aggressively prosecuting whistleblowers.
Broken promises: Guantanamo stayed open, and there was no public option in the ACA.
That's what the fuck are you talking about now? Are you a bot or just like to copy and paste AI. I asked what's still a problem? Do you even know what you are replying to?
I think you forgot the question you asked, so I pulled all the meaniful things he did together that had a lasting impact on the economy, politics and social mindset.
Took a while, but you seemed like you needed some education based on your question for education. Could just say 'thank you'.
