Obama Legacy

[printpolitico]

Let's face it if Hillary does not win the nomination this cycle it isn't highly likely that she will run in the next election. So the question of whether she is prepared doesn't really
make as much difference. If she becomes president and does not have a successful presidency, well it was really her last stand anyway. would 4 more years have made a difference.

But let's ask ourselves the same question about Obama. Because regardless of how you spin it, call it racism, negativity, feminism, or labeling many people are voting for these two because they are black or female. (do 't start throwing the profanity at me yet) Granted the larger majority is voting for the issues and the strategy.

My question is regardless a historic legacy is at stake. If you even question Obama's preparedness for office at this time, do you risk his legacy on a possible premature presidency.
No question he is an eloquent, intelligent and free thinking individual. But is he ready. I'm not sure and wonder if we risk his historic legacy prematurely. Or does he position himself
for a future run when he does know the ins and outs of washington and world politics. Can you really change something you really don't understand where all the nuts and bolts connect.

Just interested in feedback on that one.

1. I know you've heard this before...

...but read his book. Trust me, he DOES know about the "nuts and bolts". Some of his analysis on the relationships between the two parties in there is, frankly, brilliant.

He's ready to be president. The question is really, will the country be ready for him? For a president that doesn't promise to do everything for you? For a president that doesn't demonize his opponent and anyone else that dares to disagree? For a president that tells it like he sees it, regardless of the audience?

That question will be decided in November.
