The economy was very near total collapse, we were still stuck in the Middle East, unemployment was around 7% and the Republicans were blocking him everywhere. Even though the problems were due to Republican policies. Truly a bunch of maroons, except that what they wanted to do was working. Shoveling money to the wealthy. As fast as one can. That, my friend, is the Republican Party platform.
Kinda like when Clinton was elected. Again, Republican policies had tanked the economy, etc. and so on.
Thank God no Republican, Conservative, libertarian, whatever they want to call themselves, has a chance of winning this time. At least at this point.
