    He is now my favorite president of all time. Bill Clinton used to be my favorite president. I really miss Barack Obama and his humor, smile, love and care for people, love sports, deep care for the victims, his personality, etc. There are many good things about him. That's why I really missed him. I dreamed about his presidency last night. I wish he stayed president for life. He was a great president and his legacy will be never forgotten.

    I don't like trump and his personality. He doesn't know how to be a president. I don't like his attitude and his face. I don't like the way he act. That is not way the president is supposed to do.

    What a coincidence because he is now my favorite president of all time. Bill Clinton used to be my favorite president.

    Maybe he had a good personality, but he was embarrassingly incompetent for the role. History will not look back kindly on his legacy (or rather his lack thereof).

    Obama is much like W in that at times they can be very likable but neither was very competent at being president. It looks like we might now have a president who isn't likable and isn't competent but we'll see how it ends up.

    One of the greatest Presidents of all time, he inherited a mess from W, and managed to fight against all odds, and forces in the congress against him to bring this country back from depression.

    And, he did it with class and dignity, and probably broke more than a few barriers of racists along the way - well done Barrack, class, humility, intelligence and dignity.

    He would make a great supreme court justice some day.

    First black president. Can't take it away anymore. First one to serve 8 years. Also.

    Sure, but "first black president" is the only accomplishment of his presidency. Of course, that'll be considered enough so I disagree that he won't be looked back on favorably. He didn't have to do anything at all to be looked back on favorably.....so he didn't do anything at all.

    SCOTUS??? The man looks at the Constitution the way Lou Brown looked at Dorne's contract in the movie Major League.

    Don't forget his Nobel Peace prize he achieved by dropping the most drone bombs in history. Of course thats another achievement, goat drone bomber.

    Wasn't me who said he was the best one.

    One thing, he did not have a unanimous Senate or Congress behind him, Trump's party got the majority in those, we will see what he does.

    A country normally cannot be fully run just by one man, represented maybe, partly governed, administrated.

    I will say this, not many countries did have an actor or a business man as their president, so the circumstances are quite unique in this one.

    In fairness he got the Nobel Prize well before he did anything at all other than simply be elected.....and that's why they gave him the prize. He was a black man elected president, that's literally all it takes apparently.

    Well just like Obama, Trump is merely starting out with those things. There's no guarantee that Trump doesn't screw it all up like Obama did and lose control of the congress.

    He's bi-racial. I predict in 20 years, nobody would refer to him as "black". We need to get rid of the old "Jim Crow" era conventions like the one-drop rule.

    A slim non rich Asian will have a good chance to win the next election if he used the same strategy of...



    "Bill Clinton's campaign headquarters that read:

    1. Change vs. more of the same
    2. The economy, stupid
    3. Don't forget health care…...."

    He dealt with a treasonous congress and cleaned up Ws mess. Great and honorable man.

    In case you don't know what the word treasonous means:
    trea·son·ous
    ˈtrēzənəs/
    adjective
    1. involving or guilty of the crime of betraying one's country.
      "a treasonous act against the State"
    Treasonous would be more like Bradly Manning, which this alleged great President pardoned.

    Treasonous would be the Clinton Foundation... which by the way is closing its doors since all the foreign governments have stopped donating to this 'generous charity' the moment it was decided she was done in politics.
