Obama will rate in history as a creation of liberal media establishment so the excesses of the 1960’s could somehow be justified and gloried by college professors.
He will rate somewhere above Carter and below Coolidge.
And still be above Booosh the dumber and Bone Spur!
George HW Bush is clearly in the top 10. His handling of the end of the Cold War was brilliant. Berlin Wall comes down...and he did not go to Berlin and gloat over it. Gorbachev disappeared during a coup attempt and the world had no idea who had the Soviet nuclear launch codes...Bush was a calming voice of reason and leadership. Removed Noriega in Panama and restored democracy there. Won the Persian Gulf War and did not practice regime change. Great President. But Baby Boomers wanted Clinton...and now we all regret it.
This country, under bush 1, attacked a friendly Panama that was doing us no harm. Killed hundreds, maybe thousands of it's innocent citizens. These are not actions that make a country great. Then there's desert storm, on and on. War for a president's image, war for profit. This is what America has become. No longer great.
Noriega was a drug smuggler for the Cuban’s who are our enemy. Dessert Storm was a great call. War does define the greatness of a people.
So let's say Noriega was a drug runner. So what? You don't think our own CIA wasn't running drugs also? Certainly no excuse for us getting involved and murdering innocent civilians. Used to be we needed Congress to declare war. What happened to abiding by the constitution that the republicans are always preaching about doing? Not that democrats are any better, just less hypocritical. Cuba was our enemy? We've been interferring in Cuba's and Central and South America's affairs since at least the early 1900's. Same with the middle east region, Phillipines, Vietnam, China etc. In fact, very few parts of the world in which America hasn't been involved. Maybe sometimes for the greater good, but usually for the profit of our big corporations who can buy and sell politicians like trump, obama, bush, on and on. Remember what Washington said about trading with everybody and staying out of the internal affairs of other countries? We certainly didn't follow his advice. A pretty good read below about America and her wars for profit.
