"Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents"

[impik]

Matthew Yglesias:


Now that it’s done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents. It’s always possible of course that, like LBJ, he’ll get involved in some unrelated fiasco that mars his reputation. But fundamentally, he’s reshaped the policy landscape in a way that no progressive politician has done in decades.

Under the circumstances, it’s in some ways crazy to realize the scope of things still on the congress’ plate. The House has already passed major legislation dealing with climate change and financial regulation, and the president is also committed to significant reform of K-12 education and the immigration system

2. He's proven even more that he can be effective

Most Presidents probably wouldn't have gotten a bill passed after so much trouble along the way, but Obama pulled it off.

3. Look at what he's accomplished in 15 months....n/t
