Now I Know Why Nobody Sang Me 'Happy Birthday' Today...

(Cato Institute). "Put yourself in the position of a future historian and think about what you would put in a book to describe Obama’s biggest accomplishment."
Obama is a gifted orator and campaigner. He could talk the American people into reelecting him with an abysmal record.
Gay marriage I'd say. But I do hope Obama is no Hoover who after all was followed by FDR, not exactly a libertarian turn. FDR's historic accomplishment is easier: ending prohibition.
Explain the hell what he did---marriage is regulated by the states and at best his support/opposition was nuanced and unprincipled.
Withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Want to rethink that? Bush set the withdrawal date from Iraq; Obama didn't accelerate that and in fact failed to negotiate an extension. On Afghanistan, Obama doubled casualties Bush had in 2 terms. Again, Obama was negotiating an extension.

Musical Interlude: My iPod Shuffle Holiday Series
Dan Fogelberg, "Same Old Lang Syne". This is still my favorite of Fogelberg's songs, although I remember it got so much airplay some of the women in our inner group at UH Catholic Newman positively hated the song.
