How Obama will be remembered in the history books
If Obama gets re-elected and the economy improves, he will be remembered as our first all-black president.
However...,
If the economy tanks and Obama doesn't get re-elected and all the ills of our society gets blamed on him (i.e., if he royally screws up), he will be remembered as our first half-white president.

True. I've been curious to see what happens when we get around to electing a full black president; Obama's admin has already made claim on being the first black president, so will this new, hypothetical president be campaigning as the first real black president? Or will Obama be remembered as the first half-black president? 316 days ago | Side: True

I don't think that any President who doesn't win a war for America will be remembered especially well. The same applies for a lot of countries after they get bored of their current leader. For example, a lot of Prime Ministers in England are remembered badly or not at all, but Prime Ministers such as Winston Churchill, who was the PM during World War Two, is remembered with respect and will be for his 'good speeches' and comfort he provided. I don't think that's especially exceptional for a head of state, though. Many people in the conservative party are good speakers, but I doubt they will be remembered as much as iconic, successful war leaders, such as Winston Churchill. 316 days ago | Side: Wait..., what?
