I'm going to always spell dictonionary like this and see how long it takes to become acceptable by usage. Useage perhaps. I can't be arsed looking it up in a dictonionary.
Obama had superficial charm, charisma and the brains to to know that his best chance of getting re-elected was to make bleeding heart white liberals feel good about themselves for voting for a black fella, but none of those things makes him a great man.
Talking of which, I see The Guardian is making a bold bid to change the spelling of Independent

Indeed. Although legacy is in the eye of the (often partisan) beholder.
As a tangential example, we now know that a Tory politician saying that jobs for Brits should be prioritised can now be officially classified as a ‘hate’ incident. So whatever Theresa May achieves as PM, there will be those who point out that ‘hate’ crimes spiked under her leadership.
Luckily, the left fails to learn the lesson from its effective neutering of the term 'racist' through overuse. 'Hate crime' will soon go the same way, as everyone just stops believing in the idea. And rightly so. A disgusting and nakedly Orwellian term that presumes motive and prioritises it over action. Ugh.
