I don't think this will be forgotten anytime soon. I'm pretty sure it'll be used against Obama in 2012. Also note that to this day, Truman's firing of MacArthur has not been forgotten. MacArthur was also fired in the midst of a war and Truman, like Obama now, received a lot of flack for it. In Truman's defense, however, MacArthur was batshit crazy and would've taken us to war with China if he had his way.
