This was the year when Republicans had everything going for them, politically-speaking, in the 2016 presidential election.
On every level, economically, fiscally, socially, America is in a lot worse shape under Barack Obama's debt-ridden, inept presidency. And his party's frontrunner is offering us four more years of the same.
Poverty is up. Violent crime is up. The middle class is shrinking. Businesses, especially factories and retail, are in trouble. The economy is barely growing. People are hurting.
The Gallup Poll this week found that only 36 percent of U.S. adults say the economy is "getting better," while 60 percent say it is "getting worse."
Despite Obama's boast in a commencement address at Rutgers University Sunday that life in the U.S. has never been better, the truth is that Americans have grown "more pessimistic" about our country's future over the past year or more, Gallup says.
He said college graduation rates are up, but in the past seven-plus years many graduates have had trouble finding a full-time, good paying job.
He said crime rates were down, but violent crimes have shot through the roof, and, according to one government report, homicides are way up this year in more than two dozen major cities.
In Chicago, homicides were up 70 percent. In Dallas, 73.1 percent. Long Beach, Calif., 126 percent. Las Vegas,
81.8 percent, Newark, 60 percent, to name only a few.
Obama may be comfortable sugar-coating life in the U.S. and living in his own little dream world about falling crime rates, but not his FBI Director James B. Comey.

No doubt some BS created by Ben Rhodes.
BUMP!
HE has never had it so good.
Don't worry, the Dems have it covered. Now they blame a "Do nothing Congress" even though the GOP controlled Congress increased debt, funded Obamacare etc.
Next they will blame Wall Street (Hillary has no loyalty) and the Banks,and do not forget GWBush!
What hand basket? We should be so lucky.
Dead on the money that is. I would prefer that you were wrong though.
College graduation rates are up but the EDUCATION levels of recent college graduates are falling like lead balloons.
Obama is a destroyer. He wants you to know nothing except the moment. And then he plants the things he wants you to know that are important. No past, no history, no connection to American greatness, sacrifice, or liberty.
That is how communists function: Destroy all foundations; efface all history.
College graduation rates are up but the EDUCATION levels of recent college graduates are falling like lead balloons.
The useful idiots of today do not understand: Knowledge predated education; education predated qualification. Did knowledge exist before it was formally disseminated? Yes. Did education exist before it was systematically credentialed? Yes.
The leftist elitists actually think that having a degree makes them smarted and wiser than a person with more real-world experience in a given field.
Oh, I get it. You mean like how we're all technically insured but can't get care because of zillion dollar deductibles?
Obama is totally delusional, and he will go down in American history as such.
Exactly!
Medved seems to say the same thing.
