"What a mess he inherited. The Great Recession, Iraq, Afghanistan. No other U.S. president has ever faced such a mess. And Obama has to deal with this mess with fewer than 60% of the seats in both houses of Congress being held by his own party.
Even knowing how terrible this inherited situation would be, Barack Obama bravely announced his candidacy for the presidency almost twenty-one months before the election. And despite knowing what faced him, he raised almost three quarters of a billion dollars to pursue the office, including $43 million from lawyers and $15 million from securities and investment firms.
How bad was the mess?"
