13. Obamacare is more than enough

Every Democratic president since FDR has been trying to get universal health care through. And they all failed.

And even though Obama didn't quite make it, he brought it further along than anyone thought possible.

Add to that, his forbearance in trying to do everything possible to reduce our presence in the Middle East. But, sorry, he ain't God. No one can fix that bag of worms. But he's done everything humanly possible.

Not to mention that he's had to put up with seven years of Republicans trying to gut anything and everything he proposes. No president has ever had to put up with that much hatred and obstructionism.

I think that, in the future, Obama will be considered a Great President, much like Harry Truman was after the fact.
