Watch the video again and read the transcript:

History will be far kinder to the first term of president Obama than the political divisive discussion we are having right now. You will look back and say ¨ok, we´ve got a health care, you´ve got out of the financial cliff we were about to go over in a horrible financial situation. The economy is now growing again, we handle difficult foreign policy situation with a bit of sagacity and wisdom. Ah.. You know.. Osama Bin Laden.. Various things happened and… So, I think history will look back on a pretty successful, a very successful first term and it is somewhat surprise that a political system right now, sort of, doesn’t allow that narrative to emerge because we are so contentious these days. (what do you think?)I´ve been disappointed since that cathodic marvelous night he was elected. The most exciting moment, the highest in an immigrant experience in America since the House impeachment of Richard Nixon. But since then I found him to become less magical, progressively less interesting. He hasn´t made a speech, not in the presidency to compare with the ones he unleashed as a candidate. And I would have been happier if he had spent less time playing golf with bankers.
