Hi clo,
These are all internal issues.
He has had a free hand on foreign policy. He has pursued actions which show a narrow definition of self-interest (eg drones, global spying) but not so much with a broader view.
Eg he went to Egypt and made a speech encouraging freedom and democracy in the Arab world. But when the time came, he was too fastidious to get involved in the events of the Arab spring. Now it has fizzled with nothing accomplished.
Heck, he hasn't even managed to do anything about Gitmo.
He could have been a reconciler. He still could be. But he is so focussed on American wants that he just hasn't managed to do anything big on the world stage.
Compare him with Reagan/Thatcher/Gorbachev. They ended the cold war. He has accomplished almost nothing.
Okay - he is better than Bush/Cheney. But that is a very low bar.
