4 Things That Were Supposed To Happen By 2015 Because Obama Was Reelected

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2015/01/01/3607416/4-things-2015-obama-reelected/

It’s now 2015, nearly two years after Obama took the oath of office for the second time. A few years ago, prognosticators were very confident about what would happen to America by now because of Obama’s reelection. Let’s check in and see how their predictions turned out:

1. Gas was supposed to cost $5.45 per gallon.
2. Unemployment was supposed to be stuck at over 8%
3. The stock market was supposed to crash
4. The entire U.S. economy was supposed to collapse

Yet there are still two shooting ranges in my town, as well as pistols and rifles at the sporting goods store, and several pawn shops with plenty of guns and ammunition.

What gives? President Obama sucks at being a dictator.
