If immigration reform is passed, he will be known as the president who destroyed the entire country. Allowing 33 million plus illegal immigrants to become citizens will cause irreparable damage. Our country is in an ongoing recession with not enough decent paying jobs, and Obama wants to import more "poverty" and "crime". Our immigration laws do not need any reform; what they needed was to be enforced.
People never forgave Reagan for his amnesty for 3 million illegals. Some of them must have a change of heart now that a democrat president is in favor of amnesty for 33 million illegals. Wonder why??
Obama will live to realize one day that it was a mistake, Reagan admitted it was a mistake. Except Obama's mistake is 30 million times bigger.
good president, bad president, decent president, good but flawed president?
as not only the worst president
but the most corrupt ever!!
as the first black president, the worse for not just race divisions but class warfare
brought us to the worst debt in history
brought us back to a welfare state that we had a one time gotten out of
caused us to be distrusted and disliked around the world
caused more harm and danger in the middle east
embarrassed our country to heads of state through out the world
African Americans have been hurt the most by his policies. He'll be remembered as the first black President who could do no wrong, and if anyone thinks otherwise they're racists.
There is one shortcoming that is, in the long run, the most significant – and regrettably so, because Obama is uniquely qualified, and could have vastly improved America as a whole, had he addressed the issue. It is to have confronted the destruction of the Black family that has been the hallmark of the Black underclass for the last 40 years. Yet as he approaches the end of his Presidency, he has done virtually nothing. Obama's Biggest Failure as President - Bruce Bialosky - Page 1
What a legacy.
But in case you need a little more.
The President who:
-ran on unity and then divided a nation.
-made more broken promises than any in history
-took no responsibility for his own failed policies
-blamed his predecessor well beyond his first term (call that a prophecy)
-spent more revenue than all presidents combined
-ended with unemployment higher than when he began eight years earlier (another prophecy)
-spent more money on infrastructure and public works without actually creating jobs
-Allowed states like CA to outsource public works to Chinese companies ABC News, Sept. 23, 2011: U.S. law actually requires major infrastructure projects to Buy America when the cost difference is reasonable. In California, U.S. firms say they would have met those guidelines. But state officials decided to turn down federal money for a major part of the bridge, allowing a Chinese company to get the job.
-invested billions in failed alternative energy companies only to firesale them to the Chinese Chinese company wins bid for battery maker A123 - Salon.com
-the only President in history to not get a budget passed in his entire first term
-food stamp roles went up 60% in his first four years, and will most likely double before he's done
-never closed Gitmo
-devalued the dollar faster than any admninstration before (the dollar is now worth about .08, and was worth .22 when he started)
-gas prices more than doubled
-electricity charges have risen 180%
-food has gone up an average of 28%
-the average family of four income has dropped $6k year
This is too painful to keep listing. I'm sure he inspired someone...
like Chris Mathews
Liberals all hated Bush for everything he did (even when they liked what he did)... yet love this guy who has done nothing but codify Bush. What's up with that?
well stated
and yes, it is very painful
when you think of how he was celebrated and all of us, even who did not vote for him
wished him well
and how disappointed we are now
Signing NDAA which allows US Citizens to be assassinated without a trial but let his Muslim brothers out of a military trial and into civilian courts. (Nice!)
Has his own personal "kill list".
Started a drone war in Yemen (end around Congress)
Military action in Pakistan
Told everyone we were pulling out of Iraq and we are still there and will be there for the long run
Sold 25-30 Billion dollars worth of weapons to Syria that have been used to kill it's own people
Did a TV commercial promoting clean coal for votes then had the EPA establish regulations that kills coal jobs
Signed the Patriot Act back into law when he could have killed it.
Oh... the list goes on and on..
This guy makes Bush look like Gandhi and they gave him a peace prize.. LMAO! If he wasn't black he would have been voted out of office his second term and that's a fact.
Added: I forgot to add the fake tears he shed for the children killed at Newton but the lack of tears or even the acknowledgment of the 100's of children his drone attacks have killed..
The left will realize, after he is gone, that they were lied to and treated as his majesties means to an end.
In legislation the ACA now ever it plays out. otherwise his failed stimulus and economic policy in recession and the FED becoming the economis leadership.

Corruption existed in many different regimes. As a matter of fact, Grant's is considered one of the most corrupt ever and that was in the 1870's, 140 years ago.
The US was distrusted for years, look at the rise of Al Qaeda in the 80's and 90's. Sure that Bin Ladin's hatred was from just Dubbya.
Not saying Obama isn't a great president (he's far from it.) There are some smoke and mirrors that he is not in control for but his policies haven't really helped and possibly hindered American prosperity.
Obama will attempt to follow in the steps of Winston Churchill, who replied when asked "how will history remember you?"

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.
Almost from the very beginning of his Presidency - Obama's intent has to be remembered as one of the great (if not the Greatest) U.S. Presidents of all time.

His Epochal Vision - New York Times - Nov 2012
The president was coolly eyeing American history in order to carve his own grand place in it, the guests said in interviews later. “It was almost as if he was writing his own history book about himself,” said David M. Kennedy, a professor at Stanford University. Becoming the 44th president of the United States, or even the first African-American to hold the post, had never been enough for Barack Obama. Just two years after arriving in the Senate, he spoke unabashedly of becoming one of the greatest presidents, a transformative figure like Abraham Lincoln or Franklin D. Roosevelt who would heal the country’s divisions, address its most critical problems and turn Americans in a hopeful new direction.
Jimmy Carter will remember him fondly
I will remember him with great sadness for the massive loss of opportunity, while he concentrated on his Epoch.
