business. But some people seem to care which is why I commented on it.

President Obama is not, so far, a 'great president'. He has yet to do something that would make him stand out in history as one of the greatest. In fact some of the things he has done may not help his historical record, especially if this country ever returns to being a true democracy where the rule of law actually matters.

To be great means having courage to stand up against, sometimes, pretty strong opposition. So far, he's been pretty much status quo with the excuse being that he actually cannot stand up because he 'can't win'. But until someone stands up they don't know if they can win. So it's a weak position to take and puts him so far, among the average presidents we've had, mostly not a risk taker which is unfortunate as we need that kind of courage on some pretty big issues right now.

He still has time and may surprise us, but as of now, he's about average, I guess.
