Will Obama be remembered in two lights?

Yes, but then all modern presidents are seen that way. We've been indoctrinated with divisiveness by partisan media.

The guy (James Smith) who mentioned LBJ is an idiot.

LBJ is always spoken of in a very poor manner only because of Vietnam, yet no, he didn't "bring us Vietnam". We had troops there when Kennedy was president, and Nixon only escalated the war, so it's not as if the war ended directly when Johnson left. The troops didn't completely return home until the middle of Ford's presidency after Nixon announced the withdrawal a few months before his resignation.

LBJ was a great president. Cut poverty by an insane margin, fought illiteracy and workplace discrimination, passed some of the most important legislation in history and had a booming economy with a balanced budget for his last year. He was far better than JFK, a mediocre leader and the man historians actually think of as some darling. I always hear LBJ torn to shreds over a war that potentially would've been worse had he not been re-elected. And the nation isn't "going broke from Medicare". We're going broke from stupid politicians borrowing from it.

To answer your question, yes, I think he will, but it's also like that for most presidents. Take George W Bush. Since leaving office, his public opinion ratings have improved, but you still have conservatives who think he was a fantastic president, and liberals who continue to blame him for everything wrong with the nation.

Maybe, but it will probably lean one way. It's hard to say how more recent presidents will be judged by history. During the Civil War, Lincoln was hated by a lot of people. Now, he is considered one of the best presidents in history. As time goes on, we see the long term effects of a president's legacy and have a better understanding of whether they were good or bad.

I will remember that he tried to take the fall for hillary and her episode with the Benghazi incident, and didn't get a public apology from her for doing that. And I will remember that hillary didn't give a damn about that lie she told or even how it could hurt Obama's reputation with the constituency. She removed herself, to not take the heat she created.

Bill Clinton finally gave in and told the truth about Monica. Poor Obama, hillary is scandalous, and he goes down the hero, for what. I think his healthcare program will flop as it would have flopped on hillary in the 90's, it will be an embarrassment to him that the Clintons bullied him and we all witnessed it.

Fairly confident historians will be generous to Obama as they have been to most liberals. Look at FDR they praise that guy like he was the greatest thing to ever happen.

FDR denied facts. He knew the Japanese Naval Fleet had gone missing and the only possible place it could have been heading was the west coast of the Americas. He did NOTHING, all he to do was increase patrols and mobilize some of the fleet.

He denied that we were going to have to get involved in Europe.

How anout LBJ? You don't hear much about him yet he's the guy that brought us Vietnam and Medicare. One cost us thousands of lives. The other is going to bankrupt our Nation.

Maybe as a likable guy, but as an effective president, about like Gerald Ford in the 1970's.

I think you are exactly right.

Obama will be remembered along supporters or HATERS.

Hell, we don't have the data on Clinton yet.

and amazingly- people think REAGAN was AWESOME (what a f-ing joke)

Correct. Everyone in America is biased, either biased against liberals or biased against conservatives. I'm biased against conservatives, but unlike most people I'm honest. It is really hard not to be biased.
