In your opinion..as the history books have yet to be written, We can only speculate what they may say.
However if you were writing those history books it would be a short book, merely saying Obama was the worst guy ever to be born...
No, the book would be substantial, fair, and balanced.
Since the president is not the worst guy to be born, Harrier would never say such a thing, nor would he candy coat the man.
His administration does leave much to be desired.
Harrier's book would just tell it like it was, there is no need for Harrier to exaggerate.
If (from what i understand ) the history books are and have been re- written somewhat
for different reasons,
do you think that even tho his time in office has been strange to say the least
and so much is covered up by the media, that new history books will say the truth
about how his time in office really was,
or will the over used excuse , 'racism' be the card played ,
as he never got a 'fair shake' by the white americans ,
and thus mean and lying things were said,
and also the problems were more than he could fix thanks to the republicans, etc....
Im just sitting here half asleep tonight and this popped into my head..
He will have his own chapters titled, what a president should not do, who not to vote for, what a biased media looks like, when we fail to vet our candidates, what tyranny in government looks like, etc...

Given that Harry Truman, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, and John Adams were revieled when they left office, Barrack Obama is in good company historically speaking. History will look kindly on the 44th Presaident of the United States.

Many of us will not live long enough to see how he is really viewed by historians. Obviously the one issue will be his being the first black president. I am also assuming, based on what we are witnessing right now, he will not go down as the best President, possibly toward the bottom. It seems 90% of what he has done isn't very popular or successful. I know there will be those who will say, look at the unemployment rate now? Yes, it has come down, but not before it went sky high and not before several stopped looking for work or took jobs they were less than they had previously. He did help with getting rid of Ben Laden, that certainly is a feather in his cap even if the plans had been underway for years.
The son of a Kenyan Muslim immigrant and a woman with Irish roots, who has an Arabic name and went to a madrassa for a time in the country of his Indonesian father in law, will definitely be acknowledged by historians for his stunning election wins in '08 & '12.
In the long run it will be ObamaCare that will make or break his legacy and I think that he allowed himself to get to tied to that legislation.
"We are developing a first-ever mission to identify, capture and relocate and asteroid," NASA chief Charles Bolden said in a statement. "This mission represents an unprecedented technological feat that will lead to new scientific discoveries and technological capabilities and help protect our home planet. This asteroid initiative brings together the best of NASA’s science, technology and human exploration efforts to achieve the president’s goal of sending humans to an asteroid by 2025.
Bolden said NASA's new mega-rocket, the Space Launch System, and its Orion deep-space capsule would be used for the manned portions of the asteroid capture mission. The agency will also "develop new technologies like solar electric propulsion and laser communications -- all critical components of deep space exploration."
In addition to the asteroid mission, NASA's 2014 budget includes continued funding for the International Space Station, as well as increased support for private space taxis, which the space agency plans to rely on to launch American astronauts to the space station now that its shuttle fleet is retired. Commercial spaceflight funding in 2014 is pegged at $821.4 million, just over twice the amount received in 2012."
Given that Harry Truman, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, and John Adams were revieled when they left office, Barrack Obama is in good company historically speaking. History will look kindly on the 44th Presaident of the United States.
What kindly accomplishments will be accredited to him?
