- Abstract
The article discusses the legacy of U.S. President Barack Obama. Topics mentioned include his efforts to rely on executive orders rather than legislation to enact change such as reforming immigration policy, raising minimum wage, and extending rights to same-sex couples, possible reasons behind his unpopularity with other political parties, and his embodiment of cultural gaps as an African American street activist who graduated from Harvard Law School.
