I guess Rolling Stone is admitting that Obama's goals have been to destroy the American way of life and in that he has been enormously successful.

Earlier this week, Nobel Prize winner, and harsh critic of President Obama, Paul Krugman, made a turnaround and praised the president in his Rolling Stone article. Also a Princeton Professor of Economics, Krugman writes:
"Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and, yes, successful presidents in American history."
The author of 20 books and writer for the New York Times, Krugman goes on to list several key achievements Obama has made during, what Krugman calls, a 'wave of Obama-bashing' by 'mainstream pundits and talking heads.'
"His health reform is imperfect but still a huge step forward and its working better than anyone expected. Financial reform fell far short of what should have happened, but its much more effective than youd think. Economic management has been half-crippled by Republican obstruction, but has nonetheless been much better than in other advanced countries. And environmental policy is starting to look like it could be a major legacy."
On a very positive note, Krugman believes Democrats are doing better than expected in the Red states, which signifies a president who has done well:
"Obviously the midterm e******n hasnt happened yet, but in a year when Republicans have a huge structural advantage Democrats are defending a disproportionate number of Senate seats in deep-red states most analyses suggest that control of the Senate is in doubt, with Democrats doing considerably better than they were supposed to. This isnt what youd expect to see if a failing president were d**gging his party down.
More important, however, polls or even e******ns are not the measure of a president. High office shouldnt be about putting points on the e*******l scoreboard, it should be about changing the country for the better. Has Obama done that? Do his achievements look likely to endure? The answer to both questions is yes."
This is good to hear. We still have a very tough and extremely close e******n ahead. By continuing to join together to fight the GOP/Tea Party extremists (visit this Act Blue site) we can save this country from further damage by a party of obstruction and greed, that plays up to the richest individuals and corporate powerhouses. Republicans have stepped on, then spat on, America's working class, veterans, women, children, the poor, c*****e c****e
and blocked equal pay, veterans benefits, raising the minimum wage, and helping college students with their hefty debts
The list goes on, showing Republicans have been on the wrong side of history for too long, and w can, and will, change this November 4th.
Please Note: The original title, "Most Successful President In History" has been changed to One of the Most Successful Presidents In History." There is a very big difference in syntax and meaning. My apologies, and thank you to Kossack Empty Vessel for pointing out my error.
