The most powerful man in the world, must have a responsibility to help heal the world, not hurt it willy nilly.
The name, gender, skin color, race, religion - all these factors can pale to insignificance under the scrunity and expectations of the world.
Why do you think he got the Nobel Peace Prize in the first place? That's right: the expectations from the world, from what they thought is a pivotal positive change in history, due to unexpected (and hitherto considered impossible) ascension of a person of color to the highest position of authority in the world. They expected great things from him, because they knew he had the authority to do great things, and possibly, help heal a broken world.
He failed though, and proved to the world that he was just one more warmonger, in a long line of warmongers who have held that position of utmost power, to further break and wreak havoc on the struggling world.
Anyone in a supreme position of authority must be held to such idealistic yardsticks of expectations. Otherwise they will continue with such wrongdoings and continue to get away with it.
As the old saying goes:
A man is judged by his deeds. Or misdeeds.
To put it into perspective: the world is running out of time. Climate change, pandemics, etc., are going to bring misery to humanity. Now more than ever, we need the greatest most-idealistic leaders, who can work together to help the world and try to save humanity and this world before it is too late. That's what's at stake - the future of humanity and this beautiful bountiful world.

I can understand your disappointment, but at least from my perspective, Obama was the least bad compared to both his successor and predecessor most of those resepects, for example climate change.
And the wars you listed in GP - at least they were not out of greed. And he also got a lot of blame for not intervening in Syria.
