Really - President Obama Has Had A Bad Year?......

That seems to be what I've been hearing all day in the run up to tomorrows SOTU address.

You mean to tell me the ACA website is the reason that they are calling it a bad year? Come on now. It wasn't that bad and it appears to have recovered and it really looks now that ACA will hit its 7 million prediction of sign-ups by March 31.

IMHO the only reason that the MSM has fallen for this is that the Repugs ran the website issue into the ground because they relish in and glom onto any kurfuffle that might contribute to any negative press for the President.

I'm thinking that he had a pretty good year -all and all - and that it was only the constant and repetitive whinings of the Repugs that caused the President these problems with the help of the MSM taking the Repug ball and running with it.

I know that they tried to do the same with Benghazi and the IRS - but though the Repugs made a lot of mileage on these - bottom line - they weren't really the scandals that the Repugs hoped for. Albeit - though - I guess they got the desired effect.
