Why President Obama will go into history as ONE OF THE GREATS!
Lets start with the biggest reason, and in my opinion, the worst reason... That is that he is the first Black President ever elected. He will not be the last, but he is and will always be the first black. The same thing will happen with the first woman. It will not matter is they are the WORST presidents ever, they will be honored greatly by history... I am talking about being on currency, bridges, cities and more named after them... New Orleans or Detroit quite likely will become Obamaville.
Now on to the good reasons!
He has done an amazing job, he got a Health Care bill passed where presidents including Nixon, Teddy Roosevelt and Bill Clinton failed! Many, Many Americans LOVE the Health Care bill, I am one who belives it did not go far enough, but it is a GREAT start. That alone is enough for me to consider him great.
In addition to the above, he has brought the economy from the brink of total dissaster. I belive it was MUCH worse than many acknoledged and that we were close to total meltdown, it did not happen.
Sure Id love a faster recovery, but many will say, slower is likely more sustainable. I dont like how much the government is spending, but honestly I believe it is a necessary evil due to the mess we were put in by the policies the other side would like to return to.
Just four months ago, the right was screaming about how interest rates were going to be out of coutrol and how we were facing a double dip..... Those things did not happen! Looks like the Obama Economic team was pretty strong to prevent such dire predictions...!
On the war, well in the senseless one, the one Obama was against from the start, the major combat operations are finally OVER, troop levels are a fraction of what they were, and there roll is vastly different. That is an achievement!!! IN Afganastan, finally, those who attacked us on 9-11 are feeling the pain, and while men are dying, they are dying for a legitatmate goal and a safer America...!
So, ya, I kinda think he has been one of the Greats thus far....and he is only 2 years into what will likely be an amazing 8 years of American rebirth!
