Obama's Legacy: Will it be embraced or eradicated?

Obama = most admired man in the world!

 

His legacy is that of failure. Failed foreign policy and failed domestic policy as evidenced by a less than 2% mean GDP growth over all 7 years of his tenure so far.

 

Obama's legacy: An internationalist who doesn't believe in American exceptionalism and views his country as
a negative influence around the world. Obama will be seen as a failed socialist who doesn't believe in capitalism.
He will be seen as a pacifist that destroyed America's reputation around the world as a leader of democracy and
defender of individual liberty and freedom.

 

That strikes me as a Liberal wishlist

 

When he eventually dies in the future and has a Muslim funeral the World will know the truth.

 

Obama's legacy is going to be very similar to George W Bush's legacy. In that, some of his policies will be evaluated, analyzed, and observed which will put him as a mixed bag of nuts, no pun intended. The ACA is going to be argued that most of the proposals were conservative in nature and opposed simply on partisan grounds.

 

It's always mixed since no accomplishments are purely positive or negative and partisans will continue their perpetual spins.

Assessments of ex-presidents normally improve with the passage of time.

Bush's numbers had plummeted during the latter part of his tenure - far below what Obama's have ever been - and his legacy of a collapsed economy and the plight of being mired in two costly nation-building fiascos will be difficult for the mediocre Obama to match in his last year, but anything is possible.

As for the ACA, it was a conservative scheme, as was clearly stated by the proponent of its prototype:

Romney talked about the individual mandate as a matter of individual responsibility. After the speech, Romney told reporters the mandate was the “ultimate conservative idea.”

“I think it’s a growing recognition,” Romney said, “particularly among conservative think tanks, that the idea of having large numbers of individuals who can afford health care, but chose instead to make the taxpayers pay, that that doesn’t work, that people have to have personal responsibility.”​

 

Worse than Carter....

He will be seen for what he actually is and that is a token president that (*)(*)(*)(*)ed a lot of (*)(*)(*)(*) up and was extremely biased....

 

You seem to be spouting your own hyper-partisan perspective.

The American public that twice elected him with popular majorities consistently assesses him as being mediocre. (Gallup showed his predecessor was at 32% approval/64%disapproval at this stage of his tenure. Obama is at 48%/48%.)

Addressing the topic, Do you believe that Republicans will ever reinstitute gender discrimination in marriage law? Allow Iran to covertly develop a nuclear arsenal? Uninsure millions of Americans? Unilaterally cancel commerce and diplomatic relations with Cuba? Back out of the major trade deal with Asian nations? Sabotage a climate change agreement to which196 nations agreed?

I expect most of those achievements to endure.

 

As a libertarian I think both sides are (*)(*)(*)(*)ed...

That still doesn't change the fact that Obama is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing clown that basically made Bush look 10x better and one needs to be pretty terrible to do that.

Yeah, he only raised the national debt from 7.5 trillion to 19 trillion...

I don't even know where to begin with that alone...

This guy (*)(*)(*)(*)ed this country up so bad that I will promise you no democrat will see the White House for at least 12 years..

 

You certainly have your own notions.

 

100 years from now ... Obama will be known for:

1) becoming the first black president,
2) his highly partisan style,
3) a weak foreign policy,
4) socialist domestic views.
