CBC: Hillary calls Obama "one of the best presidents this country has ever had"

[democrattotheend]

8 years ago, who woulda thunk it?

I guess he did a better job of answering the 3 AM phone call than she expected.

1. She couldn't be more correct..n/t

[underpants]

2. Easily top 15

Probably top 10

3. It's actually not that surprising, when you think about it.

Does anyone really believe that if Hillary had stayed in the Senate that she would not have voted for most of his agenda, even if they had not reconciled personally? Or that if Hillary had won the presidency that Senator Obama would not have voted for most of her agenda?

I actually was skeptical of how good of a president Barack Obama would be, and boy was I wrong. He has been outstanding. Of course, he had the opportunity to do a lot of great things, given the disaster that George W. Bush left him to clean up.

I don't know if I could call him "one of the best ever," along the lines of Lincoln, Washington or FDR. But he has certainly been outstanding and is deserving of a very high ranking on the list.

4. He was a warm relief after Bush, his heart is in the right place and he has some accomplishments.

Just think where he would be if we had a functioning congress.

[Charles Bukowski]

5. Considering that Republicans did everything to thwart his

agenda, absolutely.

I am proud to day I voted for the man twice.

9. Yet at their worst

they couldn't prevent him from bringing us back from the brink of financial disaster. If our economy had failed, there's no telling the effect it would have had on the rest of the world. So his achievement is bigger than it appears. I regret the treatment the big banks got, not to mention their execs; but in the long run, we're far, far better off at the end of his watch than after either of the Bushes. When historians have had time to put all this in perspective, I agree that he'll be ranked with the best. And this Congress, and the repug party, will be seen for what they have been. I hope.

Frankly, my biggest disappointment is that he didn't at least try for a public works program. Mrs. C. has that on her agenda. Early in his administration, people--including middle class people--needed work. Now, we need to repair our infrastructure.

[YOHABLO]

6. Then why is he pushing this TPP shit?

[metroins]

10. One item

I'm personally for TPP but you can't summarize Obama on one topic....no matter what topic it is.

The guys been a FANTASTIC president.

I wish he never ridiculed Romney on Russia, but that doesn't discount the sixteen thousand good things he's done.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. I agree. And he is still President until Jan. 2017. Please, let's keep his good work going strong.

[unblock]

8. he did a fine job under the circumstances. it's a travesty that the republicans had to be such sh*ts

he could have really put us on a path to a very bright future if only given half a chance.

instead, the jerks put up every roadblock they could.
