Why Obama Will Go Down as One of the Greatest Presidents of All Time

Something is dawning on us—it’s almost too soon for us to admit, but it’s there, a half-considered thought only now blooming in our brains. Maybe we dismiss it with one of those quick cognitive fly swats. Nah, too early to say or I hate that guy. But the truth is coming, and it sounds like this: Barack Obama will be inducted into the league of Great Presidents.

Wait. One of the Greatest? you ask, your thumb emoticon poised to turn up or down on me. The guy haters love to hate with their very best hate game? Like 20-Dollar Bill great? Like Mount Rushmore great?

Yep. (We just won’t build Mount Rushmores anymore.) In so many ways, Obama was better than we imagined, better than the body politic deserved, and far, far better than his enemies will ever concede, but the great thing about being great is that the verdict of enemies doesn’t matter.

In fact, and I say this as a Bill Clinton fan, I now feel certain that, in the coming decades, Obama’s star will rise higher than Clinton’s, and he’ll replace Bill in the public mind as the Greatest Democrat since FDR.

Yeahhhh....not feeling it....I mean, he's been an ok President, give him credit for trying to resolve some long running problems....but Great? Nope...He'll never have been a JFK, and nor Johnson, argument could certainly be made against Carter and Clinton...but yeah...to far a stretch against FDR

Ummm.. ok, if GQ said so. What's frightening is leftist like yourself take this at face value.

"Now comes a study from the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs that demonstrates empirically that PolitiFact.org, one of the nation's leading "fact checkers," finds that Republicans are dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats. "

Maybe its just that Republicans are "dishonest in their claims three times as often as Democrats"

One of the greatest? I find that claim to be rather dubious.
