It was Reagan who made those tax shelters go away in 1986 === And it was long over due. I have always regarded that and breaking the Air Traffic Controllers union as Reagan's two biggest accomplishments. Of course some would say that his "Star Wars Missile Defense" plan led to the demise of the former Soviet Union, and to the extent that it might be true, that would be his biggest accomplishment of all. I wonder what O'Bama's legacy will be. === The only thing I can think of is offing Bin Laden. That was not a trivial accomplishment and he certainly does deserve credit for approving the plan. Not everyone would have done that. Other than that he's a huge disappointment of course. I had hoped that he might provide some much needed inspiration and leadership to the inner city youth of this country but that doesn't seem to be one of his priorities. I am with you on that. In the very beginning I thought I might even vote for him, then I realized he had not experience at all whatsoever that would be necessary in a POTUS. Either way, still had big hopes when he won, the first black president and all hoped he would be looked at as great in history, but now I doubt it. I think his "legacy" will be "he was a liar"... |
