Isn't it obvious? He paved the way for the first orange skinned POTUS.

I think his legacy will be one of tremendous foresight and success, albeit a premature presidency that the country's people were not yet worthy of. He inherited a disaster and left with unprecedented job growth, managed to push through a landmark health care bill that provided coverage to nearly everyone despite the best efforts of the opposition to continually kneecap the law, kept us out of expensive and disastrous wars, and cautiously began a much-needed pivot toward Asia and realignment of middle eastern alliances toward Iran and away from Saudi Arabia.

He'll be remembered as a great president, even greater than Bill Clinton. Possibly a future Mt. Rushmore candidate.

Lol no. obama turned a record supermajority into the smallest party holding since the civil war. Current polls, biased in his favor, show him to be the worst President in American history. Those are the highlights.

Clearly, the DNC is responsible for this. Liberalism itself is alive and well.

The obvious answer is everyone will remember whatever they chose to focus upon. Let the revisionism begin. Obama himself answered this question long ago when he said that he has always been an inkblot on which people projected.

For me, I will remember his 2008 campaign as the first time in my life, the MSM was so lockstep that they created a third world messiah cult personality as a POTUS candidate. I've never seen one person on so many magazine covers continuously over a few months. Or people lined up along the highways to watch his motorcade go by, as if this POTUS candidate was the Pope. That was when I started to feel sorry for him.

As POTUS, I will remember his petulant, thin-skinned, condescending lecturing of America. Like a spoiled child who was not recognized as the smartest kid in class. He reminded me of an adjunct professor in college whose most memorable phrase was "If you think I'm going to prepare for class on what they pay an adjunct professor, you are nuts."

Other than that, I thought he was W's third and fourth term.

Triangulator alert!!!

Zack is right about this. No doubt the funding and organization has already begun. I hear ACORN got $400 million to pursue this. :lol:

Ok So Obama thinks just because his policies were thoroughly repudiated in this election means the majority of Americans support them anyway...Right

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/ ... rlin-visit
President Obama has acknowledged a "bumpy phase" in politics — but he said a majority of Americans are comfortable with the pace of globalization, and he also said it's up to leaders to give people a sense of control and confidence about the future.

"People don't like it because they don't know what it's done for them."

Gruber is absolutely right. He presented facts, and all Carlson could do was grandstand, feign moral outrage, and put words in Gruber's mouth repeatedly.

Carlson is intelligent, but his post-Trump clips are all about trolling and bullying guests into a preplanned and humilating "gotcha" situation. He reeks of smarmiess and passive-aggression. It's like Eddie Haskell became a commentator.

He is just manufacturing clickbait. If he is popular, it is because so many Fox viewers are buttholes.

Normally you would have a point but he's just turning the Jon Stewart model on those who have used the tactic for so very long and who deserve it so very much. It will be many years before he wears it out.

True enough, but both are unattainable without the superior virtue of group identity. Both for "us" and "them."

"Listen to him/her, what a typical _________. A good example of why "we" have to oppose "them."

Without the internal herding narrative, the fun just isn't there..... :(
