I think that he will only be remembered for being the first [half] black democratic president.
Like Bruce already said, he is not the best nor the worst president of the USA.

I agree.

I think it will depend on our next two, possibly 3 presidents.

President Trump and president Palin ;)?

Haha Palin won't ever make president.

Seriously, though, we're on the verge of a major shift in one direction or another. No matter who the winner is this round, the other party is going to try to rally next election. History is written by those in charge. We'll just have to see what happens.

I found a list composed mostly of petty bitching, and in my opinion the only substantive issue there is the Falklands issue. I disagree with the administration's stance on that.

As for Brexit, I don't seen anything anti-Britain in his opinion--there are plenty of British people who don't think leaving the EU is a very good idea.

The pro Brexit people dislike Obama because he has said Britain should stay in. Since then the Telegraph has pretty much placed him in a no pile but they had reservations about him before hand but that isn't really unique to him but rather American politicians in general, the Telegraph has an overarching narrative that the Whitehouse regardless of who is holding office dislikes the UK and creates lots of little articles bringing anything of potential dislike into an article. Who is going to form trade unions with the UK if they leave the EU is a big issue and those that speak negatively about the issue from other countries have often been highlighted as only a single opinion that doesn't like the UK anyway.

Just curious as what you all think will be written in the history books of the future.

By the Dems as our first president of color whose administration was largely successful despite partisan resistance every step of the way.

By the Repubs as that black guy.

Britain is pretty well liked by the majority of Americans.  Maybe some drunk Irish in Boston don't like it, but most of us are Anglophiles to some extent.

I agree with Bruce. Those of us who have paid attention readily acknowledge and appreciate the contributions to civilization made by the Brits, past and present.

We are not particularly fond of the strange food that you use nor the warm beer or the football hooligans. Aside from that, I want to be fast friends with the queens subjects.

I suspect that the ordinary citizen of Britain may have an inaccurate impression of our attitude.
