"Obama had a lousy year" - that's kinda the theme for 2013. Bullshit, says I.
"The Left" - for want of a better descriptor - has acquired a kind of self esteem problem. God forbid they do or say anything that might leave them open to being criticized for supporting Obama even when he does something they don't agree with.
So we get lots of Obama slagging - Hippie Punching if you prefer. The best way to inoculate yourself from being tagged as an ObamaBot is to shit on Obama's head whenever you get the chance.
Anyway - cutting to the chase: Turns out that Obama's a politician who disappoints us once in a while. Wow - now there's a revelation.
He's not the god-sent messiah everybody on "The Right" is saying everybody on "The Left" is saying he is. But y'know, he is actually healing the sick (ACA) and he did manage to raise the dead (GM), so hey - maybe we should just chill a little and give him a hand now and then, and just wait to see if he's got something else up his sleeve for us.
We're still here; we've got another war winding down; we're not in default; the economy sputters a lot but it's moving in a generally upward direction (while the deficit continues downward); we have something that resembles an actual budget in place; and considering the Cocktail of Clusterfuck he has to deal with every fuckin' day, I think it's pretty remarkable the Prez still gets up every morning and heads into the office to see if he can get something done.
Here's to hoping for an even better year in 2014.
