Obama was a super-smart non toadie.
I'm guessing you mean 'toady', meaning an 'obsequious flatterer; sycophant'. Nope, never that:
"Obama "never got along" with former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki or former Afghan President Hamid Karzai, according to The Times, and wanted to see both of them leave office (even though the Obama administration backed Maliki in December 2010)".
"In 2015, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a passionate speech before Congress condemning Obama's approach to the nuclear negotiations with Iran. Obama did not meet with him during the visit."
"Administration officials told The Times that Obama had a positive relationship "for a time" with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, but that has apparently ended. Additionally, Obama was once close to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whose administration was overthrown in 2011."
"As for the rest of the Middle East, Obama is "not very close to other leaders in the Middle East, like King Abdullah II of Jordan.""
I'd say he was 'tolerated' by other world leaders who probably saw through him on the first handshake (or low bow, in some cases). That's how most people tend to treat aloof narcissists.

He was indeed elected as a one-term US Senator whose voting record reads like an elementary school roll call:
Present. Present. Present. Present. Present. Present. Present. Present. Present. Present. Ad infinitum. I believe he is on record as voting affirmatively in one instance, something to do with giving away free smart phones to food stamp claimants. That's all I can find.

[T]wo-time POTUS.
OK, let's disregard all the election shenanigans that took place to steal those elections and concentrate on his ability to motivate a large black contingent to get out and vote for the historic First Black President. Not only was the black turnout unprecedented, but there were a lot of 'others' who were moved to elect him simply because he is black and the American people in general saw a guy who did a good job in front of a teleprompter and, hey, having a black President was a 'cool' thought, right? Show the rest of the world we're not a pack of racists after all! So tell me, besides the 'official' attendees, how many of those who went to the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama were not actually black? Two, three? OK maybe 4.

Yep, it's really something. Funny, even with such an impressive resume (my 'im' is definitely 'pressed'), he still can't get a golf club membership.

He is even writing scholarly articles as Barack Obama, JD outlining how repealing ObamaCare will hurt the insurance industry and individuals.
Oh sure, like there's such a wonderful insurance market across the whole country since this law was enacted and enforced. Like the premiums are so rock bottom and trending even lower everywhere we look. Like the insurance providers are sending flowers to their Congressmen thanking them profusely for thousands of pages of laws and regulations to abide, finally getting the healthcare insurance market in the United States working again. I would try to point out the truth about this complete abomination but after being indoctrinated by Barack Obama, JD, you know too much already.

You're right about one thing, everything he says goes way over my head. You just don't like when sensible people tell you where socialism and communism are wrong-headed and that's where you feel the need to pull the 'race card', like you just did. I won't even give that ridiculous notion the legitimacy of a reply. Take your race card and stick it where the sun don't shine. You ever try that bullshit on me again and you'll find out how mighty the pen can really be. Dickhead.

How would you know? You got an inside track on the state of the US economy right now? Let me explain something to you. I'll try to use little words so you don't get too confused. This little bull run we're seeing in the stock market right now? That's because of all the unfettered money printing that's gone on in the Federal Reserve System for the last 8 or 9 years or so. Bailouts, Quantitative Easing, Fed Buyouts, you name it. It's all finding it's way into the stock market where the inflation is unbelievable. Prices are being bid up not because the market fundamentals are good but because there's all these $trillions in extra money lying around and it needs to go somewhere. Next step is Main Street price inflation then the mother of all economic crashes. The end of the Almighty American Fiat Dollar as we know it. What we're seeing play out right now before our very eyes is the final result of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and its associated legislation.
Right now he's renting a house just down the street from his last residence where he's busily organizing all these
riots protests and encouraging his ex-employees to cause as much mayhem for the incoming administration as possible.
Why would the FBI release a 48 year old investigation into Donald Trump's family out of the blue, just like that? Nobody asked for it or prompted it, there was nothing newsworthy or sensational in it, it just.... happened. Isn't that weird? (Cue Twilight Zone music)
