No, I admit to getting sick of reading nothing but "he lied!" posts on the ACA threads, but this is for consideration - if not for the currency at this point, for the transformation impact Obama is having on American life. His presidency is affecting us more than any since Reagan and maybe since Roosevelt if Obamacare continues to make its influence felt. The very fact that the right is apoplectic about his every move is testimony to that. In years to come, the rancor will fade and subsequent generations may well recognize Obama as one of the greats. I realize that you can't get your head around that right now, but I think I will be right even though I won't be here to see the day myself.
Is Jimmy Carter looked on more favorably now? If he is, it's only for his humanitarian efforts and not his presidency. That's because he sucked at the main job a president does, which is foreign policy. Aside from ordering the Osama bin Laden raid, Obama's foreign policy is also a joke. It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. We are on the cusp of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, China is flexing it's military muscle, he bogged us down in Afghanistan, and the Russian dictator is viewed more favorably around the world than the American president. Syria and the "temporary" negotiations with Iran were embarrassments, and who knows what the heck's going to happen with Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan.
This guy will definitely be remembered as a transformational leader, but only because his new entitlement will probably end up bankrupting the country and the world is a far more dangerous place.
There are only two courses one can take - the right one and the wrong one. He's been on the side of wrong since he took office. He has made NO investments that helped this COUNTRY. He has served his special interest groups very well, some of them at the expense of the taxpayer, he has shrunk the middle class while expanding the number of people living in poverty, many of whom were once middle class. At no time in history has such a large percentage of people been dependent on some form of government. The taxpayers have seen nothing from this President. He despises the "rich", although he is one of them, and caters to the less fortunate who are content to let the government take from the taxpayer to take care of them.
I hate to disappoint you, but there isn't very much that Obama can be credited for that helped AMERICA.
He doesn't despise the rich, he just practices class warfare because it rallies the base. His real base, the one that fills his campaign coffers, are the super wealthy.

Obama, in the end, will be viewed far more negatively than Jimmy Carter. Obama is REALLY weak at foreign policy, despite the fact that he felt he needed to campaign abroad in 2008. I guess foreign policy actually DOES involve more than reading a Obamaprompter.
Carter was weak, but at the very least, Carter never lied about the details surrounding his own mother's death.

Katygirl, well put. Actually he loves surrounding himself with the rich and yes the rich fill his campaign coffers. Then he uses class warfare to rally his base to help him get money from people who are upper middle class, not the rich.
LOL at all the stupid people getting bent out of shape about this troll post.
Honestly Obama is a morally better person than any of the presidents on our money besides maybe Lincoln, and who knows what kid of rotten things he may have done that wouldn't go under the radar now days.
Moral? He looked us straight in the face and LIED to sell his healthcare legislation. If a private insurer made those claims, he'd be charged with fraud. And that's just one lie, told over and over again. He also lied about not knowing about the IRS scandal until he read it in the newspapers, even though his staffers knew about it earlier. There's just no way he wasn't informed of the investigation during an election year. The man is a dishonest person who uses the government against the people, and you think he's moral?
Obama is destined to go down in history as a transformational president. He has received the Nobel Peace Prize, is the first African American to become a US President and his Obamacare initiative is looking every more likely to succeed with each passing day. He will probably end up reforming immigration giving a path to citizenship to millions and may even achieve Middle Eastern peace before he is done. He plods and blunders, yet in the end succeeds where others before him have failed. Love him or hate him, he has made a difference in the country. When he is gone from office, he deserves a place on US currency. Since Jackson was only put there to mock him and Jackson is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Native Americans, it is time to replace him anyway and Obama may be just the man of the moment. What do you think? Obama on the 20? Move Roosevelt to the 20 and put Obama on the dime?
obama doesnt qualify to be put on any money yet, he isnt DEAD.
