I disagree about Obama. He did nothing special as compared to other presidents. He will be remembered as much as they are, but not any more than that.

As I think back pretty much the only thing I remember about him is healthcare, and that's he's the first half-back-half-white president.

That's really not much, as compared to other presidents.

Even Trump's antics will not be remembered in detail (how many do you remember from 6 months ago?) He will be remembered in a general sort of "said lots of dumb things" kind of way, as a trope basically.

Want to be specially remembered as President? Start [or end] a huge social program, or make peace in Israel.

PS. For Einstein did you mean weary or wary?
