His legacy will have three main aspects: courageous visionary, petulant micromanager, and ultimate family man.

Hmm.  I’ll put my money on ineffectual, one-term President.

Is there something you have specifically to critique about my post, or did you just not read? Because an effective President would definitely not be described as a "petulant micromanager." Perhaps you don't recognize either of those words?

Pretty simple, really - I don’t think his legacy (ya know, how you’re remembered by future generations who weren’t around to experience the complexities of your era) will be nearly that nuanced or complicated.  It will just be that he wasn’t a very good President and consequently got defeated handily in his reelection bid.
