The Obama Legacy: A We-Write of the Greatest American Presidency
Don't wait for the media RE-Write... Make this a the history WE-Write! "A pre-emptive, crowd-funded, people-produced history book!"

"A year-by-year, full-color, 150-page, 365-image, all-inclusive timeline, highlight reel, random photo album and history book of the two-term Barack Obama presidency with time and place captions, and behind-the-scenes photographer commentary, featuring introduction and 'legacy rhymes' by author Walt F.J. Goodridge." pre-empt v. - to prevent an anticipated occurrence or to take action before another person is able to; to preclude, to forestall More often than not, what passes as history is a "RE-Write" crafted by those with their own agenda and biases. Well, we the people have an agenda, too. Our agenda is fairness when it comes to telling this story. A "WE-Write" is simply history written by we the people.

In a few months, something significant will be happening. American president, Barack Hussein Obama, will be ending his historic two-terms in office as 44th president of the United States of America.

Now, it would be great if Americans lived in a society where such a trivial matter as the color of his skin did not affect how he will be remembered, but unfortunately that society does not yet exist.

If you've lived in or observed America for any length of time, you've seen how it happens time and again. Genocide and slavery are sanitized for the textbooks. War criminals are pardoned and their crimes overlooked and forgotten by the media. Hollywood fictionalizes history and that fiction becomes real in the public's collective mind.

We must not allow that to happen this time. Don't allow pundits, politicians and producers to determine how you and your children remember this presidency.
