It is too early to tell what Obama's legacy will be, historically everyone used to praise Reagan until we found out his policies were detrimental to the US. People used to hate Carter but now respect him because his polices dramatically helped the US and the world.
@Ryan how ignorant can you be? "Reagan ended communism" Actually the dissolution of the USSR occurred in 1991 during the Bush administration. Multiple presidents were responsible from Truman-Bush their policies of containment helped prevent it from spreading. The Soviet collapse was mainly due to unstable infrastructure, and economic failure due to the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
"obama doesnt agree with the american dream and wants change by making government bigger and creating dependency with more spending and redistribution."
Are you really that ignorant? Reagan's whole economic policy was focused on redistribution. With Reaganomics there was a significant shift in wealth to the rich. This dramatically hurt the middle class. It is evident you do not know basic economics, first is Reagan's policies promoted off-shoring, and his union busting, and deregulation encouraged corporatism. Next Is Obama is the smallest spender since Eisenhower, Reagan has spent the most and unbalanced the budget.

Obama should be above Truman.
One of the most important decisions made by Truman or possibly any other president was the use of the atomic bombs in Japan. He ordered two bombs: one against Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and one against Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Truman's goal was to stop the war quickly avoiding further losses of allied troops. Japan sued for peace on August 10th and surrendered on September 2, 1945.
Truman was president during the Nuremberg Trials which punished 22 Nazi leaders for numerous crimes including crimes against humanity. 19 of them were found guilty. Also, the United Nations was created in order to try and avoid future world wars and to help settle conflicts peacefully.
Boo Hoo, you made fun of Barry.
One trick ponies, all of you.
