Unfortunately, it’s hard to get credit for averting something.
ACA is the most successful attempt to broaden health care since Medicare. That may not be saying much, but, y’know, take what you can get…
Also, the Iran deal was a noteworthy diplomatic achievement. Pity his successor decided to piss all over it.
I’m not going to go to bat for the idea that Obama was a great president, though. I’m not sure such a thing has existed since Domestic LBJ was in office. (Is it possible to be half a great president? Or do you just average out to mediocre?) Also if you want to be great it helps if there is a real shitshow happening all around you. I wonder what Lincoln’s historical legacy would have been if the South had not seceded and had quietly accepted a plan for compensated emancipation, or something. Probably still pretty good, I guess.
Also I hate to be annoying, but @ChristienMurawski 's earlier little movie plays, with sound, every single time I open this thread, even if it’s no longer on screen.
Holy crap. Jacob Wohl is not just insane, but he’s an outright criminal willing to do any kind of white collar crime he feels justifies his ends. This article - wowza
