Being Successful Has It's Drawbacks

I forget where I got this, but it was on Google, so my apologies.

The recession of 2007-2009 is over. Yes, over. Now I know that it might not always feel like it, and maybe the recovery is a little less than perfect, but it happened. President Obama took the reigns of power at a time when our economy was crashing, millions were losing jobs and homes, and we honestly thought the banks might completely collapse. It was a scary time. Couple with that a nation where 40 million didn't have health insurance, we were in two wars, and the deficit was exploding, and it was a tough time in our nation's history. We have largely moved passed that. Today we're talking about issues light income inequality and real wages, a largely fringe group of terrorists thousands of miles away from America, the Afghanistan War is ending, and the deficit has been cut in half in relation to GDP. As Joe Biden likes to say, Osama Bin Laden is dead, and GM is alive.

What's President Obama's reward? A brand-new Republican Congress where the debates will be over the Keystone XL Pipeline, whether or not he should be impeached, how much corporate taxes should go down, what parts of his health care law should go out the door first, what he covered up in Benghazi, and how high the electric wall on the Southern Border should be built. If we learned one thing in this administration, it's that results don't bring about party victories anymore. Eight years ago at this time we were celebrating a new Democratic Majority in both houses of Congress, and in state houses everywhere. Maybe people don't like having it good?
