Obamacare was dismantled within an hour after Trump took office   . However, Obama alone cannot be blamed for the rise of ISIS , other nations too have contributed by not standing united and fighting them

Obama had a big hand in the rise of the ISIS

How come, Obama had a big hand in the rise of  the ISIS? Please elaborate.

When President Obama took over there was no ISIS.  At that time he took a decision to withdraw from Iraq and created a vacuum. this vacuum was filled by the ISIS  which within a span of 6 months occupied 75% of Iraq and Syria. Basically, the battle is a Shia-Sunni conflict and at that time Saudi-backed iSIS. Obama kept quiet for 6 years as the iSIS consolidated its hold. and intervened at a belated stage > the battle is on and the iSIs is fighting back. As said by Paul Ryun and Newt Gingrich  American leaders, Obama is squarely responsible for the rise of ISIS. One cannot read his mind to divine what was his plan.

ISIS was an extension of Al Qaeeda and regrouped in 2004 calling themselves ISIS. I too agree that withdrawal of American troops from Iraq was the trigger but Obama wouldn't know that ..

There have been many triumphs and struggles during two year presidency terms of Obama. His obamacare facilities are the cause of debate. His great devotion and contributions to health care, education, energy, climate and finance has been gigantic. Due to majority of Republicans for last five years in Congress they able to block some of path breaking legislation but Obama has had his way to pas and implement those policies. 

Now Trump is changing his versions ever day. The other day he was equating Intelligentsia with Nazis. He is inconsistent. God knows what will be new Version tomorrow.

The world cannot expect the USA to solve all its problems. USA also has its limitations and its economy has suffered because of its involvement in wars continuously. Obama withdrew from Iraq because enough involvement had taken place. The regional powers must also take some load of ensuring peace in their areas. Some commentators are having jaundiced eyes and they always see yellow.

I would blame China a lot more for the manner in which they have been supporting terror groups n the Asian region simply to be in Pakistans good books. It could also be because of their greed in extending their borders ..

China's expansionism and it's  support to Terrorism is well known. Trump, after he took over as the President of America, pledged to root out Terrorism everywhere . It remains to be seen, to what extent Trump succeeds.
