Every president is the victim (or beneficiary) of the economic cycle and external forces.

What makes a president memorable is what they do when they’re dealt a “bad hand.”

I marvel at what a terrible hand Obama was dealt when he entered office. I don’t support everything he did, but I’ve got to give the guy props for getting anything done. I miss “No Drama Obama.”

Obama may not be quite the boy scout that Carter has been, but my expectations are that he’ll become an elder statesmen of the republic that we’ll cherish similarly.
