Many Americans view Obama as a disgrace to the office of the Presidency for this and much more, hence why his successor got her arse handed to her in the Presidential Election. Of course, British media were in love with Obama (remember the gushing from the BBC compared with the constant sneering as George W Bush) so you're probably unaware of this controversy surrounding him.
