i don't think we've been any better off since the last president left and this one took over. of course none of us know how history will regard them-i can aver that he will be deemed a failure and be as right as you thinking he'll be deemed a success.

and yes, congress has also been a barrier to much at all getting done. can't argue with that one bit.
He did nail the jobs program by hiring a Fox to guard the Hen-House.
