True, but that is a tiny bar to climb over. I think George W Bush will go down in history as possibly the worst president of all time. However, I am afraid that Obama will not end up being regarded as much better. He extended Bush's tax cuts. he doubled down on the war in Afghanistan ( it is a bigger mess and far more dangerous for US soldiers now), he established a policy of killing US citizens without due process, the deficit is hugely out of control... I could go on. The bottom line is the past 12 years has been arguably led by two of the worst President's in history. Very depressing.[/quote]

I am pretty sure that until this post, I was the only person on DCUM who had ever complained about Obama killing American citizens without legal authority. My expectation is that in the future the economic problems will not stand out as a significant shortcoming of the Obama administration. They will be seen as part of a downturn that began under Bush and became overshadowed by problems in Europe (such as Eurozone breakup). However, I think that Obama will stand out as instrumental in destroying the civil rights of Americans. Whereas Bush chipped away at our rights with pushback from the Democrats, Obama has easily taken even more offensive steps.

My biggest frustration with today's Republicans is that they have obsessed over birth certificates and an angry preacher and ignored Obama's steps to legitimize detention without charge or legal recourse and the arbitrary killing of American citizens.
