    President Obama...talked about his legacy. This stunning upset (really only of the media and the establishment) will haunt democrats for a long time.

    His biggest and landmark achievements are gonna be torn and replaced...
    The US SCOTUS will remain conservative...
    The House and the Senate will ALSO remain conservative...

    Mr. 44, your legacy will forever be anchored to the demise of a corrupt political establishment - with one Hillary Clinton...

    His approval rating though is not bad at all.

    His legacy just might be "We should have moved forward with Clinton after all." don't be too eager to make a man's legacy, only time tells that.

    His legacy is that he was black. It is the only notable part of his presidency and there were no actual accomplishments.

    I don't see how that changes anything. Trump's legacy could be absolutely garbage and it wouldn't make Obama any better.

    He was black. Crapped government enough for people to distrust the establishment leading Trump to win. He was black.

    The end.

    Even if Trump is awful, it doesn't make Obama any better. He did nothing positive.

    His real legacy is setting up the first Republican stranglehold on all 3 branches...Executive, Legislative and now Judicial since 1928.

    Thanks Obama!

    Smart Man. Good talker. Did nothing. Didn't screw it up. I'd rank him in the bottom 3rd. Maybe around #31 or thereabouts.

    If it make you feel any better , as a strict Constitutional conservative (NOT Republican) I'd much prefer another 4 years of Obama to 4 minutes of Hillary,

    Obama's legacy was cemented the moment he won the election .... the first individual of color to he office. That's monumental.


    For those of you who haven't followed politics for the past 30 years , Obamacare was Hilary's baby as first lady, how it took on the moniker of Obamacare is beyond me.

    As for Obamacare , I truly believe it is but a brick in the wall leading us to a single payer (gubmint controlled) system of healthcare ..... giving the gubmint total control of quarter of our economy .....


    Eventually this whole mess will collapse .... Fiat currency always does.

    Love how every important bill got vetoed into oblivion by Republicans, and after that they scream “LOOK, OBAMA DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING“. Hypocrisy at its best.

    Both of you have solid points .... Obama being the first man of color to win the office of President of the USA is and was HISTORIC. That is his primary legacy .... Does he really need anything else to legitimize his legacy I really don't think so .... disagree if you like.



    As for the Senate & Congress blocking him ..... they did other than ACA (Obamacare) BUT (Like big butts and I cannot lie) we have to realize that obstructionism is part of our government so that garbage doesn't pass


    I have to admit that I am concerned with a GOP controlled House , Senate , SCOTUS and Presidency ... there is no obstructionism.



    I'm a bit of an outlier , being a Constitutional Conservative ---- Basically wingnuts like Barry Goldwater & Ron Paul are my kind of candidate .... I'm hoping like hell that Trump turns into something similar. A



    I want some integrity and morals from my candidate .... We sure didn't get that from the wicked witch. With Trump , there is a snowballs chance in hell.

    Sure, but there is always the worse, and you take the lesser evil
    one guy or one woman cannot make an entire nation great or awful.....that is not believable...its teamwork.

    so Obama did not do as promised but he is still better than both options this year. He had an ok team, had mixed results.

    He is charismatic though.
