[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama twice. No regrets. I was listening to his year end press conference yesterday and thinking: man, I like this guy.

He's had an impossibly difficult task and has still managed to move this country ahead. I think history will regard him kindly, and not because of his skin color.[/quote]

I think recent history will be kind to him because of his skin color but I think long term history will show he was a disaster.  Don't get me wrong, he seems like a nice guy but he was not ready and has made many many poor choices that down the line will show his inadequacy  [/quote]

I think in 20 years the historians will marvel at how he got so much of his agenda complete with so little cooperation from the Republicans.  That said, I think it will also mark a point at which both parties openly support domestic spying.  We are in for a rough few decades on civil liberties.

You may think of this as some sort of disaster.  But historians will remember that the economy was better than the one he started with.  As for foreign policy, the consensus will be that occupation of the Middle East always sows chaos.  It was true for the British and the French (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine).  It was true for the Soviets (Afghanistan).  Now it's true for us (Iraq, Afghanistan).  As for racial tensions, history usually favors the progressive.  Go look back at the footage of the white business and political leaders in the South during the civil rights movement, complaining about agitators, telling people that people were happy before the NAACP came to town.   I'm sure they thought they made perfect sense at the time, but history does not judge them favorably.[/quote]
