The Obama Legacy

Tweet

With his tenure coming to a close this friday on January 20, 2017, airing all over the political news coverage, the main talking point is, "What will Obamas' legacy be?" After listening to all the talking points from the t.v. and radio political pundits on as to what his legacy will be, I can only come to one positive conclusion. His only legacy in my opinion is that he will always be know as the the first African American and first born outside the contiguous United States to serve as president. Thats it, nothing more. Sure some will say he was the coolest and most hip president since Bill Clinton, but seriously, is that what Obama should be remembered for? Over time I feel that he will be remembered in a more negative way such as Nixon or Carter. He will fall into obscurity alongside Millard Fillmore, William Henry Harrison, James Garfield, Zachary Taylor. He will be remembered as often as ex-Vice Presidents and Former first ladies are. Speaking of which, I have no doubt that first lady Michelle Obama will have a greater legacy than her husband, President Barack Obama. Photo- Taken/Owned by me, Plethos
