People would have to work hard to have Obama go down in history with a negative legacy. Not saying he's good or bad, but it's how people will end up seeing him.

1. He's black. Just for that he'll be more well known 50 years from now than any president before him except for maybe Washington and Lincoln. It would be difficult to celebrate his "first"-ness while criticizing his policy. Especially to young people.

2. Socialized Healthcare. That's something every other civilized country has and we probably won't be without 50 years from now.

3. This. Sure, he had nothing really to do with it. But it happened on his watch. So people will see it as part of his legacy.

4. Osama. He executed the mission to kill the highest profile terrorist in the history of the country.

5. We have a ton of footage of him and he's a charasmatic likable guy. Maybe that's just my perspective but he seems nice enough. It's hard to dislike him when he's talking.
