(20,899 posts)which should really not be much of a surprise to anyone. BHO, imo, had the opportunity to be regard by history as one of the five greatest president ever had he eradicated as much of the damage inflicted by junior as possible, but he has rather chosen to ratify much of junior's legacy rather than expunge it to the extent possible. The litany of examples is evident for all to see. All this said, BHO has been infinitely better for America than any Republican would have been imo, but it shows just how far to the right politics now are, thanks in no small part to the government having the apparatus in place to have been bought by monied interests and it now acts almost solely in the interest of the uber-wealthy, large corporations, and the oligarchs rather than the people. EOS, for it's the end of government of the people, by the people, and for the people that promotes the general welfare. This nation, imo, won't be recognizable in twenty-five years, but I'm of the age not to be around to see what ultimate fruits right-wing governance since the Gipper will have created by then.
