>> and I still consider him a great president

On what basis?

He has no real accomplishments to his credit. Just think about it. JFK took us to the moon and stared down the USSR. LBJ gave us the Civil Rights legislation. Nixon, although leaving in disgrace, is well-recognized as having been a foreign policy catalyst. Reagan brought the economy back and ended the Cold War. Bush 41 handled the Gulf War with expediency and competence. Clinton, with all his problems, was able to bring the parties together cut back the welfare state. Bush 43 saved the lives of millions in Africa, destroyed AQ, created Medicare Part D, and competently managed the Iraq War, bringing it back from the doldrums of defeat (making one of the more courageous decisions in presidential history to use the troop surge to do it), and oversaw an excellent economy during most of his term in the face of tremendous headwinds.

What has Obama done on that scale? Obamacare, which is an absolute disaster for the country and will only get worse as it is fully implemented? What has Obama done? Six years in we still have no meaningful job growth. The economy continues to be in the tank. Foreign policy is worse than anytime in the last 60 years. What has he done?
