It seems every week or so, a political pundit or newspaper columnist, metaphorically speaking, propels the president to Mt. Rushmore status. In fact, Mount Rushmore and Mr. Obama are invoked so frequently in the same sentence that I began to wonder if in fact there is a movement in place to chisel the 44th president on the South Dakota mountainside.

Why Barack Hussein Obama is the Greatest President of the 21st Century
Now, granted, the competition isn't that fierce. The most obvious reason such a bold statement can be made is that he's not George Bush. Floor-level bars aren't hard to clear.
Having said that though, there is still something to be said abut Obama and his place on the post-Rushmore Rushmore. His presidency cannot be ruled out as "great," particularly if he continues to execute his ambitious second-term agenda.
Consider this: in the history of the nation few Presidents have inherited a worse mess. Certainly Abraham Lincoln, who merely by the act of being inaugurated virtually lit the powder keg of the civil war.
Only Franklin Roosevelt inherited a worse economy.

No President has worked with a more inept Congress.
