7. With what he's had to deal with, Obama can't be considered lucky.

What other President since FDR has had to endure an abysmal economy and two wars, while dealing with the kind of hatred that he has endured? All other Presidents since Truman were luckier than Obama in terms of what they dealt with.

Now the economy is rebounding, one war has ended with another set to end, and the world likes America again. If it was all about luck instead of skill, we'd be in a depression and goodness only knows if we would be at war with Iran.

It's not luck. It's because Obama is that good as a President.

If anyone's lucky, it's us. We are the lucky ones for having such an exemplary leader at the helm of this ship of state.
