Obama's place in history
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 01:23 PM by Rocknrule
If he gets elected, will he be one of, if not the best president ever? Will he rub shoulders with MLK and Rosa Parks as a civil rights champion? What will Obama's place in history be?

1. He is the next transformational figure in American history. Bank on it.

Plus, whoever the next president is, they will have to spend their first term cleaning up Dubya's mess.

4. Would like to answer your question; but I'm too busy

chasing all the damn chickens which haven't hatched yet.

One thing is certain, though. Even if elected, he won't have a shot at being our worst president. That slot has already been taken for all time by George Walker Bush.

5. Somebody else already said it, I think it was Spike Lee,
Obama represents something so transformational that time will be divided into "before Obama", and "after Obama".

6. Let's just wait and see what he does as president, shall we?
I love the guy, but the real test begins on January 20th.
