Obama has a lot of legacy to go around.
People assume it will be Obamacare, but I doubt that.
Giving more people access to healthcare was the right thing to do. I doubt simply doing the right thing will be his legacy. If we had the public option, THAT would have been legacy worthy. But Since we still have the same old healthcare for profit system, not much legacy in that to be had.
Obama's legacy is having been the first black president to be elected, twice!
And surviving it against all odds that the republicans and bigots tossed at him.
Looks like Obama is going out with an approval rating well over 50%.
Need anyone be reminded of what GW's rating was when he was tossed out of office?
Err... I meant to say when GW left his second term.
Obama's legacy will be social advances.
I doubt the LGBT community would have seen SS marriage come to pass nationwide, and so many other advances for minorities if Obama had not vocally and publicly come out in support of.
What a president does, how he or she leads makes a big difference.
Simple minded little people like GW and Ronnie Reagan do not envision change, so they cannot create the environment for change.
They only play into the mindless ideology of small minded people with no ability for vision.
Reagan was an actor, and a bad actor a that, who was nothing when off the film set.
Reagan couldn't even act the role as president let alone become one.
And GW was the perfect text book example of what people get and deserve when they stop paying attention and vote stupid.
GW nor Reagan had one clue what true leadership was or could be.
It was not in their nature.
They were buffoons the both of them. And their legacy is a legacy of shame.
Obama knew how to lead. He had and still has the vision of a great leader.
And that is why the right wingers hated him so.
And why people like Donald Trump would love the power to turn back the clock and pretend Obama never existed.
The Obama legacy paved the path for American future greatness. It will take another democrat to follow for ensuring that path of greatness is followed.
And for Bernie Sanders suporters, Bernie would have failed at forging that path.
He would have lost his way.
Bernie was not an revolutionary, he was a follower.
He knew the right path to take, but Bernie could never have forged that path out of the wilderness as Obama has done.
Bernie knew right from wrong, but someone else was first needed to show him the way.
To forge that path for Bernie to follow.
Right wingers absolutely hate and refuse to admit it, but Obama was and will be remembered as a great leader.
Don't beliebe me?
Just read any text book twenty years form now.
Who will be given credit for advancing women's rights, gay rights, transgender rights, middle class rights, and expanding healthcare for all rights?
It damn well will not be Ronald Reagan, nor GW Bush. That is for sure.
As Obama's time runs out, I think people are just now realizing the truth.
People realize all the dooms day predictions of doom and gloom from the republicans over this Obama administration was nothing more than republican bull crappy.
And with the people finally realizing the truth, sadly at this late stage, is why Obama will leave office with a huge approval rating.
Gun owners will still have their guns. The American economy will remain in growth. America is still respected as the number one world leader. And against all odds, Obama was able to make an positive impact for future generations to come.
Obama has done a lot of good for everyone, even for all those hard nosed right wing republican Obama haters.
People can now see that, finally, and that is not only why his approval rating is so high, but also why his legacy will outshine all republican presidents of the past generations.
And you know what?
That drives Donald Trump absolutely CRAZY!!!!
