The Obama Doctrine: Pissing off the rest of the world

Did Obama say anything positive about other world leaders in his entire series of interviews for the Atlantic? http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/04/the-obama-doctrine/471525/

It sounds like everybody else is to blame for the administration's lack of accomplishments in foreign affairs. Just take a look ат what the Atlantic lists as his achievements:

Obama as a president who ... accumulated a set of potentially historic foreign-policy achievements—controversial, provisional achievements, to be sure, but achievements nonetheless: the opening to Cuba, the Paris climate-change accord, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, and, of course, the Iran nuclear deal. These he accomplished despite his growing sense that larger forces—the riptide of tribal feeling in a world that should have already shed its atavism; the resilience of small men who rule large countries in ways contrary to their own best interests; the persistence of fear as a governing human emotion—frequently conspire against the best of America’s intentions.

Three out of four are domestic political issues wrapped into a foreign policy agenda: Cuba, Iran, climate-change. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is still work in progress.
