2. Obama already is one the greatest

A good chance that we will see his image on Mount Rushmore within our lifetimes.

3. Really ..... ?

Isn't that a bit premature?

Breaking the glass ceiling of racism is a already massive achievement. That alone will put his picture on a piece of currency or coinage someday in future.

Breaking this glass ceiling will open up doors for millions of African Americans in a very indirect, but ultimately real way.

5. All true ......

.... but little of that is by way of true greatness. It is simply by way of trait.

7. Funny .Some on DU take offense and say he can't be criticized for appointments

because he isn't yet Prez but apparently some think he can be considered among the "greats" even though he hasn't yet taken office? Sheesh. This is beyond ridiculous!

6. For the first time in 8 years

I have hope. And I agree with you. I worry for him though. Enough said.
