Irene Smith: Obama’s positive legacy

Regarding the July 25 Point of View “When Obama-bashing ends friendships”: I agree with Wallace McLendon that the Obama haters, often disguised as seemingly rational people, are exasperating.

To be fair, I can recall my own pot at a constant boil during the administration of George W. Bush.

My response to Obama bashers is this: “History will judge him more positively than they do.”

I add silently to myself, “Not gonna happen to Dubya, though!”

Irene Smith
