Great piece that talks about Obama's accomplishments and how vastly underrated they are in enacting real change. I've been an unwavering fan of the President's, and he will definitely be viewed upon more positively from an historical perspective than he is today. Unfortunately, the outcome of the 2016 will hold massive repercussions for Obama's ultimate legacy, which is why I think it would be better for Hillary to win the Democratic nomination (as the more favorable candidate to win the general election) than Bernie, despite agreeing with Bernie on more issues than any other candidate.

The prevailing media narrative of his era has been all about Washington paralysis, but the prevailing historical narrative is much likelier to focus on social and economic change, for better or for worse. For those of us who follow policy and politics in real time, that gap between perception and reality in the Obama era ought to be a BFD.
