DBWI: Pullman's legacy

It seems that President Bill Pullman is just a footnote in American History after he left in 2000, but what was his legacy?

OOC: This was Inspired by an Off-the-cuff remark by Emperor Norton I on a thread about Bush.

I'm assuming that you're refering to President Thomas Whitmore, his character on Independence Day.

Thinking that he was elected in 1996 in the ID4 universe and that the alien attack to place in 1997, then one suspects that President Whitmore would have been reelected in 2000.

One suspects that most of President Whitmore's efforts would involve rebuilding American infrastructure and building up defenses just in case another alien mothership shows up. The one thing that might mar an otherwise splendid legacy is if it were ever revealed that we had an alien ship in our hands at Area 51 for decades and were still not ready. One can even imagine an Alien Invasion Commission issuing a report excoriating the Whitmore Administration for it's pre 7/1 (I believe the initial attack took place on July 1st) alien invasion policy.
