They have. He will forever be the president who got health care passed, though not perfect has helped lots of people. I for one like the clause in pre-existing conditions, if some do not need that part probably they will in the future.

Thanks for your post, I hate to hear "he never did anything for me", I disagree, even when things does not affect me directly I have friends who are affected. He will go down as a great one.

Don't you like his Cool Hand Luke routine, he is reassuring. Let us not forget he got bin Laden also.
