Some good points here. Lots of people that bash the president over whatever the lamestream media is pushing this week don't seem to understand the troop reduction and armed conflict halting that's gone on in the past few years. Sad but that's the culture we are stuck in today. Polarization and short attention spans for everyone.
I've had a pretty similar year. A bunch of good things, some bad things but overall not bad. I know so many in the world are a lot worse off so we can't complain much!
