What will be Obama's lasting legacy?

By Armstrong Williams - 02/16/12 10:37 AM ET

Would America have social security without Roosevelt? How would the world have been different if Roosevelt had not supported the allies before America’s entrance into World War II?

If Eisenhower had not begun the building of the interstate highway system in the 1950s, would the American landscape have been very different?

What if Kennedy had not called Nikita Khrushchev’s bluff over the Cuban missile crisis? Could America have tolerated Russian missiles 90 miles offshore?

What would be the state of civil rights in America if Kennedy and Johnson had not been president? It took former Speaker of the House LBJ to push through the Civil Rights Act.

If Regan had not implemented his tax cuts and small-government campaign, would America have been as prosperous in the late 20th and early 21st century? Would the “Iron Curtain” have fallen had Regan not challenged the “Evil Empire”?

Will Americans look back on the administration of Bill Clinton as the last time a federal budget was balanced?

And what will eventually be the historical significance of the Obama era? Will he force through his socialist agenda, precipitate the undoing of the American way of life?
