Peace and prosperity
Think back to the last time we experienced a period of relative peace and relative prosperity such as now. Home prices up higher than in the last 6 years. Stock market booming. Deficit going down. Unemployment (all too slowly) as well. Troops pulling out of overseas engagements and careful consideration - including taking a pass - on more.
Bush wrecked our economy, our international profile, our security, our morale.
I have confidence the American electorate can see what is plainly before them. I am optimistic that ACA (Obamacare) when it kicks in will be a pleasant surprise, a la Paul Krumgan's recent comments.
To Democratic Presidential contenders - I'm talking to you Hilary, I see NOTHING BUT NET!!!!
