I think he'll be treated well by history, although not in the pantheon of great leaders.   

I said 4 months ago that if H. Clinton didn't stand up and throw punchs with Trump that she would lose.    She didn't, she lost.   No smoke, no fire, no victory.    Obama's weakness was along the same lines.    He's is/was a 'pleaser', probably because he traveled in very diverse company in his early life.   

His calm was both a strength and a weakness.    Of course I can't, and you can't, know what it feels like to be half white, half black, a gifted speaker, and a husband/father to two young women he didn't want harmed by his own life.    He's a good person in my opinion, put into extrodinary power with little experience on how to wield it.    I'd be happy to have him babysit my daughters.     I can seperate the person from the job.
