Why do people hate Truman? Because he sought to contain communism and that drew us into Korea and Vietnam; because he took apart the military budget and desegregated it; because he nuked Japan; or he created our modern National Security apparatus; he advocated for national health insurance; recognized Pakistan.
I love Bill Clinton, he's indiscretion aside he was at the helm of the greatest economic expansion, a reduction in debt and left us a surplus. He gave us Family Medical Leave Act; pushed the goverment onto the internet; he cut taxes for middle class and businesses; welfare reform.
No matter what is passed or signed into law, changing the course of our country or history never happens overnight. Momentum for passage of major legislation takes years to prime our country for change. Healthcare reform is such legislation. Some people hate it but this reform will push our country forward.
Obama is going to push our country forward...we are going to reclaim American strength in industry and innovation...he'll be great.
