Obama is a great man, one of integrity, great speaker, and gave a very human element to the office. Sometimes leaders are kinda set on a pedestal...unjustly...but he is the type of man who you run into in the street, bar, etc and have a conversation with. He will be missed when it comes this quality.

No matter what the media tries to sell you, as it works to divide us...this would have never happened under the America they attempt to portray. remember that.


When it comes to accomplishments...how could we ever forget the picture from the office of the Obama and staff as they watched our military kill Bin Laden? Crowning jewel imo. I think the economy recovery will be big for his legacy, but most people who followed the recovery know the Fed Monetary policy drove that recovery....its not like Pres Bill Clinton who actually worked and past legislation (oh and deregulation which lead to the housing crisis) with the "Balance Budget Amendment".

It certainly was more than just Pres Obama to guide the economy, but as President he bore the responsibility of (and the ability to) not letting it spiral out of control, and I give him thanks/credit for that.
