Typically after the midterm elections of a presidents second term it is known as a lame duck president. A hostile congress is usually voted in and the president essentially becomes a placeholder for the next president. Doesn't initiate any agenda that carries over into another presidency.
But it appears that our president is already being relegated as a figurehead. His own party doesn't want his endorsement of whatever legislation they want to promote, and even the president's own projects, where he invested a lot of political capital, like the sequester and gun control, his own party rebuffed him.
Some legacy Mr. President, historically you'll be known as our first black president. Perhaps history will mention obamacare as a failed attempt at socialism.
Being known for the color of your skin is not an accomplishment, that is a bonus question on a history quiz.
