I started to write "think that way" but there's no real thought involved. They only know how to recite talking points. For them, one of the talking points about a President is "legacy".

Whereas Obama started his adult working life as a community organizer, so he (I'm guessing here) is more inclined to think in terms of immediate effectiveness, then long-term effectiveness of what he does.
