Based on the totality of Obama's run for office and his presidency to date, how do you think History

[Stinky The Clown]

[Little Star]

2. This needs to be in poll form. If i wrote what I really thought...

my ass would be grass & I'd be tombstoned. lol

That's why I will say, he will be go down in history as the best president since FDR!

[Stinky The Clown]

4. 5 years? as the bi-partisan president.

seen against the backdrop of growing conservatism of both parties -- and in particular the republican.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Assuming that's true, what will it mean?

Will it mean he was the last of the reasonable presidents or the first of the hard right presidents?

[xchrom]

15. I don't see how they can keep from documenting the

Conservative movement in both parties and in Obama.
And the blatant inability to legislate on behalf of the people.

What can they make of gitmo when they tried the one guy in court and got a conviction or dropping the PO or extending the Bush tax cuts?

[Armstead]

5. Too soon to know

[bemildred]

6. No idea. nt

[Siouxmealso]

as the first black president. Period.

[Renew Deal]

12. Really?

[Stinky The Clown]

17. It isn't impossible to speculate, which is what this sort of question asks respondents to do

[DefenseLawyer]

13. A guy who played by their rules and lost. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. He'll be seen as the "What might have been" president.

[deutsey]

16. In 50 years he'll probably be remembered as one of the last presidents of the US

back when we still believed in such quaint notions.

[Rex]

18. He will always be a character in the history books.

First African-American POTUS; history will always remember him for this if nothing else.
