Well as I said I think history will disagree with you on that for the reasons I mentioned. Either way I think it's too early to make declarations on his legacy.

I don't think you should legitimatise and pander to these people conspiratorial prejudices or that Obama should have to submit to an additional test of his citizenship than that of other candidates. Eventually he did have to do it but it's shameful that it was brought to that and the people who forced it should be admonished.
