Actually he is a Democrat but I agree that he is one of the best presidents we have ever had. He has already surpassed MLK as the most influential African American in history.
Obama is becoming as iconic as Lincoln. I have no doubt that 100 years from now that he will be as revered as Washington is today.
It was an intentional misstatement of fact.
Obama has acted a lot more like a republican than a democrat. He won his first term on change and changed nothing, only accelerated problems and gave us half-assed healthcare reform that was cooked up by republicans first. He has accelerated our erosion of freedoms first started years ago by Bush Jr post 9-11.
He won his second term because republicans foolishly thought that putting a poster-child for the economic problems of the US was what the American voter wanted.
The ONLY thing i can credit Obama for is ARRA, and even that was awful because it was half tax-breaks which do not stimulate the economy.
I hate both sides of the american govt, but Obama is no Democrat.
