All presidents take credit when things go the way they like and shelter themselves from responsibility when they don't. Obama will leave office but US foreign policy will continue to be a destabilising force in the ME, regardless of who is president.
US policy can and has also been a stabilizing force. Its the weakness of our current POTUS-the unpredictable and illogical chump who loves his enemies and hates his allies-that is the destabilizing influence. Chine and Russia know it. The ME knows it. Europe knows it.
