Honestly I believe he will go down as the worst president because of all the failures and pushed political agendas that are backfiring. We need to drop stuff like fighting drugs and put that money towards a decent healthcare system. Have some government hospitals and also business hospitals. Free market is important with the balance of the government. I'm a libertarian in some sense but I agree with somethings from all parties. |
I can't imagine he'd go down worse then James Buchanon or Franklin Pierce who essentially let the god damn civil war happen on their watches.
Additionally, I think it's quite the opposite. Obamacare will be quite shitty and turn out to be a big handout/favor to the insuance agencies.
Which is why it will need to be replaced....
and government regulations rarely ever roll backwords. Which means we'll be looking at universal healthcare.
Democrats will vote for it because they'll want it. Republicans will vote for it because they'll want to end the insurance company handouts.
Obama's won, barring some surprise upswell in republican support, (ha!) it's just he'll go down as the guy who fucked up on the first plan. Though all told on balance, he'll take that any day of the week.
Decades after universal healthcare, history will soften as it always does, and he'll eventually be remembered just as the president who set the motion for universal healthcare.
