C-Span just released the 2017 Survey of Presidential Leadership by Historians.

President Obama ranks 12th.

I think it could have been higher if he didn't have a Congress where the Minority Leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell had said it was his goal to make this president (Obama) a one term president. Nothing good is going to come from statements like that.

There is no such thing as a perfect president. None in the past were perfect and none in the future will be either. President Obama had his flaws but he is basically a good man that cares about others. In spite of what some on the right would have you believe.

If President Obama had a Congress that was actually willing to work with him I think the country wouldn't be as divided as it is and a lot of the crowd that claims that they were "ignored" wouldn't be feeling that way.

But instead you had White House becoming confrontational to work with a Congress that was already confrontational, a president forced to use Executive Orders and Executive Actions to get anything done, nothing coming out of Congress unless it was because of some crisis , and Republicans fighting among themselves that further stopped Congress from doing the people's work.

What could have been.

I think we're heading down the same path now tbh.

I do agree that Obama seemed to be a good man, a good husband, and good father. And I definitely never felt the need to mute the t.v. when he spoke, lol.

This "path" was put in place by the republicans defiance to work with the sitting president dating back 8 years ago. The republicans in congress the last 8 years did everything in their power to discredit President Obama and because of their widening of division and lack of a strong decent candidate (there were 17 when they started and all were not strong) so here they have Trumpster.

He may not have done everything that was lined by everyone, but considering the asshattery of congress he did get things done that were important to the masses.
