Hard to say what would have transpired during his administration, had he been elected. I'm quite pleased with Obama's performance in both his terms. He had some things that I didn't like, but the 95% answer is "Great Job".
Yeah, the Palin thing is a detriment to his legacy, no doubt. We all have red ink in our personal ledger though. His bottom line comes up black.
Who amongst us would have stood true to our principles in the face of torture for 5 years? If you are honest with yourself, you have to proudly stand and salute the man for that - regardless of what side of the aisle you stand on. We Americans can take pride in the fact that he was one of us. The kind of strength he showed was extraordinary.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
