I believe that Obama is a man of high principle and politician of the possible.
When all is said and done, his campaigns will be studied and emulated, his achievements in health care, budget and tax reform, attention to nation-building at home and his steadfast attention to the foundations of a good society like family, education, infrastructure and so on will be admired.

Already in the Pantheon of American Presidents, I do believe that his best work is yet to come.
