Serial Game Movie

Trump may roll back much of Obamas agenda, but he cant change that the president was right when he was wrong

When it comes to the latter, there are at least three issues in which Obama will likely be judged as analogous to Woodrow Wilson when he pushed for entry into the League of Nations or Dwight Eisenhower when he urged caution about the military-industrial complex — that is, as being far ahead of his time.
1. Fighting global warming
You would think that, if the overwhelming majority of the scientific community agreed that an apocalypse-level event was impending, humanity would rush to avert it. Unfortunately, both the president before Obama (George W. Bush) and the one after him (Donald Trump) have ignored the threat posed by man-made global warming. Obama, on the other hand, has taken unprecedented steps to try to curb global warming’s impact, most notably signing the Paris Agreement in December. In addition to a number of executive actions, Obama has made commendable efforts to curb the burning of fossil fuels both in this country and throughout the world. When future movies are made about our era, Obama will be remembered as the president who saw the impending calamity and took the first necessary steps toward averting it — and Trump will be remembered as the blundering fool who refused to heed the warning signs.
2. Providing health insurance to all Americans
There is no greater sign of economic privilege than acting like health insurance should not be guaranteed to all Americans — if you have taken that stance, you are too economically secure to empathize with those less fortunate than yourself and/or too comfortable in your ideological dogma to allow human suffering to influence your opinions. Nevertheless, harsh reality is going to intrude if Republicans repeal the Affordable Care Act without an adequate replacement, and 22 million Americans lose their insurance.
