By the way, like it or not, Obama is going to be judged to be one of the best Presidents in our history, when measured by economic, social, and foreign policy measures. You don't have to like it, but that's the facts, Jack.

Economic - This is the slowest recovery since the Great Depression. What little recovery we have had was gained by borrowing about $7 trillion - which we now have to pay interest on. Unemployment is down only because people stopped looking for jobs. And the jobs they can get pay less than the ones they used to have. The middle class is shrinking and it is all because of massive immigration - both legal and illegal. How are wages at the bottom supposed to rise when we keep flooding the labor market with cheap, unskilled labor?
Foreign policy - Name a success, win valuable prizes!! He pulled troops out of Iraq on the same time table that Bush had established and he INCREASED troop in Afghanistan. The disaster that is Libya happened entirely on his watch. And he is about to let Iran get nukes. The Muslim world hates us just as much as ever, Russia ignores us and invades other countries, and China is expanding militarily and trying to dump our currency as the world's reserve. What part of that is good?
Social - See above regarding the disintegration of the middle class. Black-white divide is as big as ever. And now Hispanics are getting in on the ethnic grievance game. Gay rights is about the only success and Obama was against that (2008) before he was for it. Enough said?
I don't know what you are smoking, man, but you need to pass it around.
