Recognizing Game: Obama Builds His Legacy With Cuban Normalization

While pondering the deeper meaning of "legacy", Obama must have realized
 that Cuban relations must be normalized.
BAM!

When you start talking legacy, you can save that crap for George W. Bush.  The Obama legacy began from the day he took over the worst market failure since the Great Depression.  Now he has watched gas drop below $2 and the market reach record numbers, and....

He is normalizing relations with Cuba, and...
He has exposed the truth about Cheney the torturing Dick, and...
He is moving towards resolving the Immigration issue once and for all, and....
He has initiated the international effort to stop ISIS, and....
He did achieve Universal Healthcare, and....
He is going after student loan debt, and...
He assigned his Attorney General to provide chest cams in Ferguson which should save a few young black men  from unnecessary death by cop.  New York is following suit and nationwide black men are safer today than they were yesterday just because of the conversation started under his watch.

He may be the reason we are more polarized as a country, but its likely that he is nothing more than a scab, not the wound.  If Obama is the reason that we have had to take an unwanted stare into a dirty mirror, he will also be the reason why we begin to clean the reflection.

His critics speak colloquially about him, saying he's too ________________ to be a good president or Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, but the record he has compiled belies their commentary and their own final assessment on Benghazi.  Should we work with hostile mid-eastern regimes who will help stop ISIS today but kill Americans tomorrow and still refuse to normalize relations with Cuba?

Its time to stop repeating the failures of history and to learn from them, and it is time to recognize the breadth of the Obama legacy which is being written before our eyes.
