WRONG. That honor belongs to men like Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Kennedy. Obama is at best a mid-ranking president and at worst destined to be remembered as a man of hollow promises, feeble actions, and one of the most determined expansionists of government power into citizens' private lives.
obama is the first black president in one of the most incredibly racist nations in the history of the world .........what is kennedy the first catholic????????????????????????????????? how dare you compare that murdered scumbag to the great Barack Hussein Obama II

Right. No other nation is racist at all-
Oh look, over in Italy there was a bunch of people throwing bananas at their new, first-black minister just this week!
Oh look, slavery dates back before America!
Oh look, being anything other than Japanese in Japan or Indian in India makes you an outsider who is treated with coldness, indifference, and/or hostility!
Get the fuck.

Quote:Or even just plain independents.
Being an independent does no good whatsoever as long as their are no viable options.
Study the laws on a state by state basis which any third party candidate would have to navigate and you'll soon see that the deck is stacked against them. Perhaps fatally.
Ballot Access Laws
Quote:Each state has its own ballot access laws to determine who may appear on ballots and who may not. According to Article I, Section 4, of the United States Constitution, the authority to regulate the time, place, and manner of federal elections is up to each State, unless Congress legislates otherwise.
The primary argument put forward by States for restricting ballot access has been the presumption that setting ballot access criteria too low would result in numerous candidates on the ballot, splitting the votes of similar minded voters.
Oddly, in a democracy it would seem that the state should not worry about that...but then, we don't live in a democracy. We live in a klepto-plutocracy.

Klepto-plutocracy... I like that. Not the fact that we are exactly that, but the word itself. It's ridiculously, painfully fitting.
Neil deGrasse Tyson's words keep ringing in my head over and over...
"The $850 billion bank bailout is ten times more than the 50 year running budget of NASA COMBINED..."
I die a little inside every time I consider that.

He has been trying to pass reform bills, a lot of this is not his fault. I disagree with him a things but I mostly agree with him. His efforts to get the gun issues under control were blocked by NRA and republicans. He tried to fix health care and they messed that up cause of the republicans that are in bed with the big pharmaceuticals company's. His believe in affordable higher education went out the window because of the republicans in bed with the banking industry. It's not all the republicans fault though, democrats have done damage as well. Lyndon B Johnson, Richard Nixon, (I give him credit for trying to get healthcare to people), Ronald Regan, George Bush Sr, George Bush jr all started the downfall of the country on the republican side. Now to pick on the democrats here. Harry s truman, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton added some of the damage as well. So, it's kinda of a 60% republican and 40% democrat split on who broke moms favorite cookie jar.

Insofar as Obama basically carried the Bush / Cheney / neo-con policies on for eight more years, I have little use for his Administration. His health care reform was feeble, benefiting insurance companies and drug manufacturers as much as anyone else. He is Wall Street's best friend and protector, and his Free Trade agreements are as damaging as anyone's. I would not have minded so much if he had gone down fighting the Right Wing in this country. But he laid down and begged them for "cooperation" and they kicked his ass anyway. He went rouge with his drone wars, executing thousands of innocents on some kind of a whim, and never saw a police state tactic that he didn't aprove. The left wing likes to say that "it could have been worse" under a Republican President but, fuck, it couldn't have been much worse. Obama turned out to be a complete waste of an historic opportunity to change the direction of the country, and I am starting to think it was the last opportunity that we will have. From now on it it is straight into the shitter.
