The Left will be erecting statues to him, because it’s collapse will allow them to do the one thing they’ve been lusting after which would otherwise not be possible.

Single payer healthcare.

Big business is usually only harmful to America when it is tied to and regulated by big government. Competition is the only reliable protection us average Joes have from big business. Political competition just might tone back big government.

[[may fire pollution particles into stratosphere to deflect sun’s heat in desperate bid to tackle global warming”]]

No- his enduring ‘legacy’ will be the gayification of America- That can never be undone now- He and the SC single mindedly destroyed the institution of marriage

His other ‘legacy’ was lifting sanctions on Iran- and on Cuba as a slap in the face to all Americans-

He will be remembered for much- hardly any of it positive-

Access to health care is NOT A RIGHT and any attempt to make it one will end in disaster. People need to be more responsible for their own health. If you won’t do that and can’t afford a doctor, you have NO RIGHT to make me pay for one.

The last chapter has yet to be written on Obama’s crusade against America. It could easily make the ACA look like a gift from God by comparison.

I’d say his most lasting legacy in foreign affairs has to be ISIS. From the first day in office and punctuated by the total withdrawal from Iraq in 2011 and the various editions of “Arab Spring” Obama and both of his Secretaries of State have managed to throw the entire civilized world into chaos and turned the so called third world into killing fields.

and the only people who will be able to afford Obamacare will be high-risk patients who qualify for federal subsidies

That would be me. There is no other choice for me. Obamacare made my previous policy illegal and what is left is completely out of my price range.

And the fact is it's nothing more than catastrophic care insurance, not insurance. The deductible is $6,500. Everything is out of pocket.

I guess "Community Organizer" is insufficient preparation to usurp the office effectively.

The republicans helped by financing it. The supreme court should have blocked it.

Don't be surprised if he decides to take a trip to North Korea to apologize to them for defending South Korea. Yeah, I fully expect it could happen. The illegal alien POTUS will do anything to stay relevant and crap on America.

Reagan didn’t really defeat communism. That’s just a big illusion. Communism successfully invaded the West and simply dropped the pretense of being our overt enemy for the sake of letting our guard down.

We now have a communist in the White House and two communists running for president from the Democrat party. Our schools, our culture have been captured by communists especially the colleges.

I don’t think you can really say we have a free economy either with the government intervening everywhere. Health care is a prime example. Everywhere else we suffer crony-capitalism which appears to be nothing more than a hybrid of socialized corruption.

I used to think the West had won but I was wrong. Communism is very much alive everywhere it ever was and now it’s here too.

When I see the size of the crowds following Bernie around I cannot disagree with you.

Unless something radical is done by the GOP, Obamacare will be propped up and enduring.

Modern conservative analysis leaves a lot to be desired.
