The one hit wonder?

 

Is our country better off today under the leadership of President Barack Obama than it was a few years ago?

Bush years.

Maybe Hillary Clinton was right about Obama after all. With the president's approval rating at 42 percent and Clinton's at an all-time high of 66 percent, her supporters are pushing her to resign her post as Secretary of State and challenge the sitting president in the Democratic primary for 2012. Time will tell.
