Just a few of his greatest hits. The Middle East is on fire because of his repeated decisions.
I get you're a fan of Communist countries, so I can see why #2 bothers you. I still think it's funny that anyone wanting to come off as pro American considers a country rebelling against a dictator as a bad thing.
#6 is grossly incorrect. They started with (mostly and allegedly) Saudi weapons. We've bankrolled the Saudis long before Obama. And their more recent arms come from
#7 Not really. We're just continually at war with the same vague terror elements we've been at war with.
The rest is great. Seriously. Not because Iran was "on the path to nuclear weapons" or because Egypt fell into the hands of the Muslim brotherhood. No, it was great because for the first time since Nixon took office, we largely took a step back and said "hey world, it's your problems, fix it." We talked to coalitions, we offered intel and indirect support, but we didn't just barge in and start tossing around embargoes and empty threats of war.
We need to stop playing world police. The majority of your list was a step in that direction. So while I fault him on a lot of things, nothing you've mentioned.

The economy for one, international relations for another. And while I'm not a fan of what came out of healthcare reform, prices are leveling off for the first time in half a century. But, really, just make it about his race and ignore all that other stuff.
