Michael Moore Slams Obama: HIstory Will Only Remember You Were a Black President ..

[earthside]

13. Moore may be correct.

'No Drama' Obama has been MIA as an inspirational president.

Presidents are remembered and judge on more than just a list of legislative or executive accomplishments; they are also judged historically on how they inspired and led the American people, i.e., Pres. Kennedy, who was only in office for three years, but is regarded as an bold leader for the times.

Pres. Obama's coolness was perhaps initially needed as a contrast to G. W. Bush's recklessness, but even at the beginning of his first term Obama's ineffectiveness as a negotiator made his health care reform less than it ought to have been.

Frankly, Pres. Obama has not adequately challenged the nation to greater things; and he has, in my opinion, been quite weak in rhetorically challenging the Repuglicans.

I have thus far given Pres. Obama most credit for slowly (too slowly) getting us out of Iraq and Afghanistan ... but that, too, may be on the line for review if what is being reported today is made manifest this evening. We don't need to be suckered back into yet another middle east conflict.

Sorry to say that Barack Obama has been a fair-to-middling President; his inability or reluctance to fight the good fight for the working people of this nation has relegated him to mostly being "the first black president" ... he didn't turn out to be FDR, he turned out to be more like Grover Cleveland or more recently, Gerald Ford.
