All of this adoring praise being heaped on President Obama as he gets ready to leave office is ridiculous. George Bush inherited the completely irresponsible economic policies of Bill Clinton. He did not do a great job of fixing things, mostly because he was dueling with Congress most of the time. Obama took over and amid all of these cheers of hope and change, I wonder how many people can honestly tell me that they feel more financially secure, or safer from foreign and domestic threats than they did in January of 2001. Some of us might not be any worse off, but few are better.
