HOW FAR DID WE COME AS A NATION

By: C. Harrison/December 31, 2015

When Barack Obama took office in 2008, we were on the rocks, as far as a nation under the George W. Bush administration. We were starring down a spiral hole that had it not been for the grace of God, we would not see the light of day in just eight-years and on top of that,  we had the biggest disaster in the history of America– “wall street” crashed;  the bubble burst, no one thought we would come back from that.

Besides bringing us back from the brink the Obama Administration cut the unemployment rate, raised the minimum wage, cut gas emission, put the fairest trades legislation in place, championed our infrastructures, kept the Government open, cut oil prices in half, passed an historical health bill that put over 17 million, on a fair market health insurance plan and convinced numerous countries more than one hundred, to sign off on Climate Change…..these among a slue of other legislative bills and appointments passed. And this President is poised to finish the job of shaking up Washington–with more big changes, that (we the people) have been asking Government to do .

Yes, 2015 has been a trying year, for this administration. They have had to deal with tribulations before anything could get done, but they did it and for that,  we (The nation), has benefited and are grateful at the close of 2015 that we made it through the Republicans many hurdles that they threw in the path of this administration to hurt this nation’s population.  In 2016, we will be even more astonish by what Barack Obama and his administration can do.
