Does anyone other than me remember when President O came into office and spelled out his agenda? The right immediately sprang into action *suggesting* that he couldn't handle such an ambitious agenda.
Well, here we are six years later. Obamacare/ACA has passed. That single piece of ambitious legislation alone should have garnered him brownie points. Instead, the right unleashed all hell KNOWING it to be for the greater good; a la an FDR and therefore a lasting legacy that would GOD FORBID, lose them even more blocs of voters.
Obama's ambitious schedule has unfortunately been constantly set back by republican obstructionism or now, an ISIS insurgence and an Iraqi fallback. Iraqi troops didn't even TRY to fight off this much smaller terror group. Whatever made this arrogant country believe they could change thousand of years of a mindset is simply, staggeringly stupid.
So, apparently the right was once again, wrong. President O like his predecessors has been able to juggle an unprecedented number of pins. Not only those normal presidential juggling pins but adding right-wing conservative pins being thrown at you while you're busy juggling that first set.
Those naysayers, whose rhetoric and criticism hasn't ebbed one bit, only heightened, must be dying on the inside watching this slender, eloquent, tall, statesman from end to end carry on from day one without flinching.
Was it so much that his agenda was ambitious? I don't know. Tax reform. Raising of minimum wage. Same-sex marriage. Jobs program. College tuition reform. Winding down of two of this country's biggest mistake in wars. They were not grand plans but grand plans that were only met in opposition since reform and instituting them would have spelled disaster for the right...as they saw it and infringement on the 1% they truly represent.
All in all, these six years, have seen President O's hair get grayer (as they all do), his daughters mature, his wife grow ever more engaging and the right; eating its own.
Not bad, Mr. O...Not bad at all.
