I've often compared him to Jackie Robinson of baseball fame. Like Robinson, Obama was the best person to break the color barrier in presidential politics. He is intelligent and classy and doesn't rise to the bait that conservatives continually chum the waters with. He didn't let the slurs and ridiculous roadblocks they threw in his way slow him down or distract him from his goals, he just sidestepped them and continue on.
You are right, years from now, when the country has outgrown its racist past, history will view him in a very favorable light.
^ This post bears repeating. Well said and very true!
That's a matter of opinion. I think he has done and is doing a great job, especially with obstructionist congress (WE WANT HIM TO FAIL) full of republicans. How can you say our job is to see that he is a one term President and not have the people hang your for that?! Crazy!!
Sabotage the country to get rid of the Black President!! Bite your nose to spite your face
That's like saying Jackie Robinson is hitless and you intentionally walk him every time he comes to bat!!
Other than Obamacare, please list the accomplishments of the first Obama administration WHEN HIS PARTY CONTROLLED THE EXECUTIVE AND BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS?
What did he do with all the cards in his hand?
How many of his subsequent accomplishments are not subject to immediate revocation if the next President (of either party) issues an executive order nullifying all those issued by Obama?
During his first term when something went wrong (and that happens whoever is in the Oval Office) all we heard was It's Bush's fault! It's Bush's fault! You're just racist! Sorry but that dog won't hunt.
There used to be a sign on the Resolute desk (in the Oval Office). The sign said "The Buck Stops Here" It was Harry Truman's sign but, it epitomizes something that ought to be clear to everyone; when something bad happens, like the BATF sending guns to Mexican cartels and having one use to kill a US Agent, or having a Ambassador and three others killed by a mob in Libya but having the White House press secretary give out false or misleading information to make it seem that the Secretary of State didn't make a literally life and death decision improperly, it's not just the responsibility of the offending official. The President is equally to blame; it is ultimately his responsibility.
Really, lol! Let me know the next time Bozo becomes a two term President.......BOOM!
Which just goes to show that Americans can enjoy a good joke...
