I also think there can be a tendency to look at Obama through rose-tinted specs because he was so much better than his god-awful predecessor. I'm not sure if I would place him above Bill Clinton or even Lyndon B Johnson at this stage but the long term success of his affordable health care programme for many more Americans and his lead for taking action against climate change could further enhance Obama's reputation. However, Obama is definitely one of the better Presidents that America has had.</p></blockquote><p></p>
