Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.... You get the picture? There will never be another liberal black president again.
Obama did not run as a liberal, he ran as a moderate, with moderate promises of keeping your insurance or your doctor, of stabilizing the markets, being a race neutral leader who could lead us out of the mess of liberal market capitalism and toward more 'direct market' capitalism which we see in Germany, Austria, etc and that have been enormously successful.
In truth I think Obama is more moderate and successful as a POTUS than Republicans care to admit, nor as successful as most Dimocrats claim. He did use Federal intervention to save our markets, restoring confidence in our financial system and worked to recapitalize our banking system. He strengthened relations with our Western allies, worked hard to establish a kind of 'normalcy' in our international relations, and so forth, a very in-the-box, by-the-book kind of approach that led to some stability around the world, but also disastrous effect in the exceptional situations and gave us ISIS and mass Syrian migration that seems to be destroying the EU right now.
But how Obama will finally be understood in history is really hard to tell because almost no one was willing to be honest about him. Journalists were either his cheerleaders or his enemies and not a balanced view of him is to be found anywhere.
But I suspect he was somewhere between an abysmal failure and a genius.
The next moderate black Democrat for POTUS is going to be a much harder sell, for sure.
But never say 'never', lol.
