President Obama leaves office having governed one of the most ethical and scandal free presidential administrations in US history. Obama has always kept his eye on what he liked to refer to as America’s better angels, and never lost his optimism and belief in what our nation could become.
Historians will judge the level of greatness that Obama achieved, but he leaves behind a legacy that is virtually unmatched since The New Deal. As a candidate, Obama promised hope and change, and he delivered on both.
Republicans are about to spend the next few years attempting to undo Obama’s legacy, but they won’t be able to repeal and replace the country that Obama showed the American people is possible.
Obama has changed America for the better in ways that Republicans will never be able to take back.
