Legacy, despite what Bush says, isn't everything, but it is something. Since he hasn't even been sworn in yet, his President Obama's legacy is obviously a long way from being set. However Presidential Candidate Obama's legacy should be clear... and yet I fear it is becoming anything but.
The idea behind this diary began about a month ago, and actually became a nagging worry, something I felt absolutely needed to be done. I thought the best time to publish it would be right before the election, but worried about being seen as presumptuous. Plus, I was busy volunteering for the campaign, and despite my intense feelings on the matter, couldn't seem to find the time to write it as I felt it deserved to be written. I planned citations, footnotes, pull-quotes, links galore... I wanted to leave no stone unturned in making such an important point.
