gregloa perhaps you will realize the world was largely surprised when Obama was awarded the noble peace prize.
Surprised, but largely favorable. It is the Nobel Prize, BTW.

The prize was preemptive for a leader who had ambitious goals for scaling down America’s military.
Not scaling down America's military, but scaling down our invasions of other countries. There is a difference. If you recall, Trump ran on a campaign of getting us out of the world's hot spots, and stop spending money on other countries wars. You did not notice when you voted for him?
Allowing radical Islam free range of Iraq as a result.
What would you propose the solution should have been? participate in the program, launched by the GCCC, and Turkey to arm "moderate" Islamic groups? Or, send another 500,000 troops so we can "win" the battle we already "won"

The only smart move, would have been not to invade Iraq. Once that was done, it was game over.
Not to mention the absurd job of funding Iran’s nuclear programs
I'm sure you believe you're right, but I am SMH here.
and allowing Russia and China free trade with North Korea
The US has had sanctions against N. Korea, since 1950. The sanctions that exist today, are the same as they were under President Obama. In 2017, the sanctions were strengthened through additional financial sanctions.
Six years later even Obama’s supporters questioned whether the award was deserved. The director of the noble institute wrote awarding the prize to Obama was only partially correct as many of his supporters thought it was a mistake.
Yes, Geir Lundestad, the Secretary of the Nobel committee, said that he was disappointed that Obama could not end all the wars the US was involved in, and that the Prize, did not help him domestically. Not sure Lundetead, had a clear understanding, that Obama's virulent opposing, had anything to do with peace. It was racism, pure and simply.
As such It quickly became clear that Obama wouldn’t be able to achieve what the committee had hoped of him. The entire world new he didn’t deserve it. It was based on what the committee hoped he might do. The high and mighty Norwegian committee, what a JOKE!
Obama’s drone program was regularly criticized for lack of transparency and accountability considering incomplete intelligence meant officials were often unsure about who would DIE! Most individuals KILLED were not on the kill list and the government doesn’t know their names.
This is laughable, not because I support the random use of drone programs, but coming form you, a Trump supporter.
So what was Obama?
Obama was one of the best Presidents we ever had. He stepped up, when no one else wanted the job, in the middle of our worst economic crisis. When he left, the economy was on the right track. That's all there is to it.
