In his weekly presidential report card, pollster John Zogby found that President Obama's legacy was greatly improved by two key Supreme Court decisions, endorsing same sex marriage and Obamacare, and passage of controversial trade agreements.
"There have been some bad weeks and some less than stellar ones. This one was the kind of week that most presidents can only dream about."
A GOP Congress passed the largest free trade pact with the largest market in the world.
"The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to uphold 'state' subsidies under Obamacare."
"A combination of major southern states and retailers vowed to stop manufacturing, selling, or making prominent the Confederate Flag."
"And the Supreme Court followed by declaring marriage to be a constitutional right. These are the kinds of events that will make headlines in history books and enhance the legacy of Mr. Obama. There may very well be more bad weeks, but this one was one for the record books."
Secrets asked Zogby to size up Obama's legacy so far, and he put him in the second tier of the greatest presidents ever.
"As someone who taught history for 24 years, these are the sorts of things that do not make Obama an FDR, Lincoln, or Washington, but can, with some perspective, certainly place him up there with Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, and Harry S. Truman," said Zogby.

My list is hands-on folks that really enjoyed their work, like the America-hating muslim we have to deal with now.
Obama is the stuff that Ronnie used to wipe off of his boots....and speaking of boots, the Muslim Marxist isn’t good enough to wipe them either!
And I stand by my prediction that eventually Zero will rate near the bottom, along with Carter.
America and specifically the Americans who support have nothing to be proud of. Reagan made us proud.
And Hillary is pending because she is still adding to her total.

He should be comparing him to Stalin or Mao, not Reagan.
