obama, for sure, didn't advance the interests of America as found within our laws and foundational aspirations Originally Posted by nevergaveitathoughtI'm getting the impression that the "measure" of "accomplishment" based on your assessment should be determined by the inherent abilities of the person being measured BEFORE the attempts at "accomplishment"! Is that close to what you are suggesting?
I thought it was clear what I meantWhile being as total failure as potus
in short, in his own words, obama set out to fundamentally transform America
other presidents had other agendas
how did obama rank amongst the presidents in comparing accomplishing his goals as opposed to other presidents accomplishing theirs? It seems that's the method used in the rankings
he drove us to despair in debt, in trying to change the racial and religious makeup of America, in weakening us militarily and in leadership, in race relations, in expanding government, in lawlessness, in turning the offices of government against the people etc Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought
im wondering about the methodologyA rather sad effort at advocacy concealed as a noble and nonpartisan effort.
in reading the article I get the sense the rankings aren't as much about worth as they are an attempt to measure accomplishment within the context of one's agenda Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought
They couldn't put the monkey at the bottom where he belongs because that would be racist and would upset all these asshole liberals. Originally Posted by StockingloverI actually predicted he would for all eternity be named to at least the top five, for the reason you mention. Luckily most textbooks probably include a mugshot of whatever POTUS is under discussion, so the canny student will always be able to discern the real basis of the ranking.
I saw a discussion about these rankings and they said it ..... Originally Posted by StandinStraightI suppose it would be too much to ask for you to disclose who the "they" were enthralling you? More anti-Trumpers and HillaryNoMore supporters?
I saw a discussion about these rankings and they said it was remarkable for a president just leaving office to be ranked this high, it is a testimonial to his accomplishments. They predicted he will move up higher as time goes by and the magnitude of his work is further appreciated . I agree! Originally Posted by StandinStraightThe only way Obama's rating will move up over time is if we get another Black President who is worse than he was and hopefully the voters of America have learned a hard lesson over the past eight years.
