    Yeah, this may or may not be true. By the time of Reagan’s second inaugural, the economy was back in overdrive (7.2% annual growth). This time, it’s not (2.7%). Not arguing that Obama hasn’t done a lot legislatively and that he’ll certainly be remembered as a president ‘of consequence’. But, for Obama’s policies to ‘stick’ in a way that Reagan’s did—for America to truly move left in a way he’d like (especially economically)—I’d argue he has to leave office with a similarly recovered and booming America. That’s what ultimately convinces people that you were right and future politicians should follow suit. Obama simply hasn’t done that yet.
