Doubtful...*
Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman told ABC News that President Obama has made more lasting changes to the country while in office than President Bill Clinton.
“Bill Clinton is an incredibly gifted politician, but Clinton was not a consequential president. Obama, although clearly not the natural politician, is a consequential president.”
Krugman has previously been a harsh critic of Obama. In 2009, he was featured in a Newsweek cover story titled “Obama is Wrong: The Loyal Opposition of Paul Krugman,” which identified him as the leading liberal voice against the president.
But, by God, we got health reform, and a significant financial reform. We are getting the environmental action … it’s not everything you would have wanted, but it’s more than anyone else has done for decades.
Krugman also said that Obama’s achievements were more consequential than those of Republican President Ronald Reagan. He’s ranking of consequential presidents would be Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, followed by Obama and then Reagan.
But would Obama be consequential after Trump gets done with it. Doubtful.
Just a thought.

Dream Big...*
“If you truly expect to realize your dreams, abandon the need for blanket approval. If conforming to everyone’s expectations is the number one goal, you have sacrificed your uniqueness, and therefore your excellence.” Hope Solo.
With the world cup soccer next round, here is a song of someone trying to be one's own.
Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
Ban...
Authorities in China's Xinjiang region are prohibiting parents from giving children some names with "religious background." The restrictions are part to secularize Xinjiang, which is home to roughly 10 million Uighurs, a Turkic people who mostly follow Sunni Islam.
Top officials have said that radical thought has infiltrated the region from Central Asia, protracting a bloody, yearslong insurgency that has claimed hundreds of lives. Government has urged local governments to better assimilate their minorities into the majority Han Chinese culture.
Local officials have strongly discouraged or prohibited veils, while government-linked commentators have called for bans of Middle Eastern religious architectural styles. Saddam," ''Arafat," Medina" and "Cairo." are on the list ". Just a thought.
