Oct 2014

The economy is recovering. The future is much brighter. Health care reform is real and here to stay. Most Americans support raising the minimum wage and immigration reform. Gay marriage is no longer a wedge issue, but an accepted (and for most of us) acceptable fact. The price of oil is down, despite huge unrest in the Middle East. We have recovered some of the damage our reputation took due to president Bush's many misadventures.

After years of steering to the right, always to the right, we have finally had a course correction. Thank goodness!
