History Will Judge Obama on Actions, Not Words

Now that the Russians have overseen a plan for the destruction of that country's chemical arsenal and reeled in its leader, to what "botched" Syria situation would this even refer?

This is an incredible statement, but representative of the overall tone, which describes Obama careening from one disaster to another, but always surviving. What a man! What a President! ... Is Egypt still out there someplace? I don't remember.

Not really.

It will be a harsh judgement.

[Hardraade]

Obama is already accelerating toward full Hitler.

What history will judge is the maggotry that didn’t hang him.

We will recognize his lack of deficit spending. After all in order to calculate a deficit you must compare spending to budgeted spending. His Congress has never passed a budget ergo no deficits!

[SpaceBar]

Depends on which version of history survives the coming dark times.

When the Obama saga is written; may history also judge the democrat party and its media.

On that topic I'm concerned that the Wiki page on Obama will read:

Barack Hussein Obama II (i/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) was the 44th and last President of the United States.

What did Teddy Roosevelt famously do?

He said “Talk softly but carry a big stick.”

Words are remembered.

“Tear down this wall.”

“Four score and seven years ago.”

“(I am) not a crook.”

“Read my lips, no new taxes.”

What do Russian history books say about Lenin and Stalin?

[Maceman]

You got that right. I lost my faith in history’s judgment watching Bill Clinton become generally recognized as a beloved statesman who was the most successful president since Reagan.

History can go screw.

Alex Haley was right. History is written by the victors, and so far, it looks like the totalitarian leftists are the victors.

Yep. he’s the Lord of the Lies for sure...he’s expert, certified grade A at that skill...

[steelyourfaith]

And the judgement of that future history will be determined by the ethos that prevails in the dominant culture at that time.

If the dominant culture follows the trend of recent decades then Obama will be lionized in history.

Nice rant.

.....we have like 10 or fewer people actually trying to lead at a national level.... and radio hosts Levin, Rush and a handful more. That’s it.....

We only need ONE leader to make a difference---when Reagan surfaced, he was summarily written off---"couldn't possibly win," they said. Today, he is the man who is viewed as the paradigm political leader.
