This was what our President was faced with back in 2009.
A crumbling domestic (and international) economy with our country nearly leaning toward another depression as it fought its way through a recession. Record levels of debt. Rising unemployment. A challenging healthcare system. An unfinished war in the Middle East. Continued terrorists threats. Gays insisting if a black man can be president then they should be able to get married and he’d better enable it soon. Tea baggers begging for their country back. Republicans shouting about bi-partisanship even though during eight years of Bush and Cheney - the words were never uttered. I’m truly amazed at the fact that certain segments of American society are actually angry at the President for not cleaning up this mess during the very first year of his term. With the unrealistic and frankly incredulous idea that President Obama was suppose to turn this country around in 365 days after almost 3000 days of destructive Republican policies is pure comedy. With the terms liberal and socialist being tossed about like dirty words, when will these certain segments of American society realize that the United States is probably the only Western nation that doesn’t have universal healthcare, free college tuition for its citizens and that welfare, which by the way, is not a terrible thing to offer to those in need.
I believe there is a deep fear, that President Obama will not only turn this country around, but, and I know I'm going out on a limb here, he will go down in history as probably the greatest Presidents that ever ruled these United States. Considering its' legacy, this will probably be the best thing to ever happen to this country.
