Hi Rhino,

It really doesn't matter what people write at the time!. The verdict of history can take decades or even centuries to come in!.

When Harry Truman left the White House in1953, there was scarcely a sad face in either party!. Everyone was bemoaning what they called, "The mess in Washington," and everyone believed that Truman had been a disaster!.

But time passed, and later generations, untouched by the passions of the time, looked back with objectivity on the man and his accomplishments!. They found he did a wonderful job, which is why many historians now regard Truman as one of the greatest presidents in history!.

Only time gives us the grace of distance to be objective!. So it will be up to future generations (and not us) to determine the ultimate worth and impact of President Obama's administration!.

Cheers, mate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just the same as other powers have been written about!. The great power writes about itself as doing what it needed to do for protection and defense while the weaker countries will complain about being oppressed!. It will stay that way until another country or group becomes the leading world power or the world ends in 2012 as predicted by some ancient texts and calenders!. What ever happens first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's Obama's term, isn't it!?

We are in 2008!. You are talking about 2009!. No one can predict the future!. We don't know what's going to happen and wheter it is bad or good!. Wait 4 years, and then maybe I can tell you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It has been written that way before our time!.!. World leaders are intelligent enough to stay in power because they realize the 'GRAND STRATEGY' and the truth in the 'survival of the fittest!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com

after Armageddon (which was predicted to occur on Dec!. 21, 2012) there wouldn't be a future!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
