Choose one; Obama is the greatest US president of all time, OR, Obama is the greatest US president in the past 100 years? Why?

Neither. You cannot be serious with this question. Obama, only in his dreams, would ever be as insightful as George Washington, as wise as Thomas Jefferson, or have the intestinal fortitude of Abraham Lincoln.

Considering the past century, 100 years ago the president was William Howard Taft. Granted, Obama's term is fairly new, but based on his accomplishments, I believe the question should be: "Choose one: Obama is the WORST U.S. president of all time, OR, Obama is the worst president in the past 100 years. So far, Obama has increased our debt, spent billions on inconsequential bail outs, signed laws that most U.S. citizens are against.

He has golfed, played basketball, taken vacations, thrown parties for the elite, stuck his nose in matters that didn't concern him and ignored those that should concern him. S wife took a vacation with 40 of her closest friends to Spain on our dime. He will probably be remembered for his oratory skills, and rightfully so, but that's not what makes a great president.

I tried to ignore this question because I know that there are a lot of Obama backers here that think he is a great president and are thrilled with his policies. I am not looking for a debate. This is my opinion.

Thank you for the opportunity to express it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
