Actually if it contains enough carbon a dog turd under sufficient heat and pressure might actually become a diamond, I would say there is a far greater likelihood of a dog turd becoming a diamond than of Obama becoming a great president.

The first requirement of presidential greatness is that the country faces a mortal peril: something that puts the America experiment — its embrace of freedom and equality, its trust in democratic institutions, and its belief in itself — at risk. The great presidents have all defused that risk.

This president is the risk.

It’s a complete puzzle to me how this cupcake fathered two daughters.

My favorite aunt, now deceased, would have replied that they were "grudge babies." (Someone had it in for him.)

Obama’s mentality is no different that a “gangsta rapper” from MTV. With him it’s all about bling, mo money mo money mo money, fancy belongings, high dollar ride etc. (sarcasm off)

And secret service protection for life!! He is 50, so that means for 30+ years he will cause a huge bill for taxpayers for the rest of his life, while he spends all those decades attacking and ridiculing his opponents. He will be like Jimmy and Billy in retirement (nice thought huh) attacking not going away like the Bushes and Reagan.

Unfortunately most of the books over the next few decades will be written by liberal historians

The victors of any conflict or struggle write the history books.

Look at the thousands of books about Lincoln.
The great majority are written as if he were a beneficent god, even though he presided over the war deaths of 2% of the entire population, with 600,000 Americans dead and another 500,000 wounded.

That's the way it will be for Obama - the popular and accepted history books will ignore the fraud, lies, racism, arrogance and disregard for the constitution. Nor will they mention the corrupt Obama loving media, who are largely responsible for his successes.

The Obama histories will read like something written by Chris Mathews but without the drool and slobber sticking the page together.
