Yawn. Another race lecture from Obama. Did anyone listen? Besides the beholden media like NPR and the NYT, I mean. -XC
As I said in another comment, I will be shocked the day that Obama gives such a speech for the sake of the greater good rather than as a result of political expediency or opportunism.
Has he ever done anything useful? I mean, you can dis/like GWB but if you look at his Africa policies (almost unknown in the US) you can see something amazing. My in-laws hated GWB (Canadian liberals) but it turns out Medicare Part D has both saved money and improved health. (Contrary to my predictions, BTW) Obama's got, what? -XC
Here's what I think the history books will write, not saying it will be all truly Obama's doing or that they're great accomplishments: 1. Bin Laden 2. Saving the banks and therefore our financial system 3. Image abroad -though I think this tide is turning 4. I think his admin will be seen as the one that pivoted from a middle east centric foreign policy to an asian one 5. Got rid of Bush era restrictions of stem cell research 6. Same sex equality 7. Ending war in Iraq, drawing Afghanistan to a close.
1> 90% done by GWB. Remember Quadaffi? 2> Ditto above. 3> LOL 4> Hahahaha 5> Did not actually exist except in MSM meme. Was restriction on 10% of funding (gov't) on part of protocol. 6> Federal only. Enacted and signed by Donk's. 7> Losing Vietnam. Err...
