While GW wouldn't have dared.

This has been a very good and successful year for President Obama. The economy has continued to grow; wages rose, the ACA is stronger than ever.

President Obama: Our early actions to rescue the economy set the stage for the longest streak of private sector job growth on record with 13.7 million new jobs in that time. The unemployment rate has been cut in half down to five percent, and most importantly wages grew faster than at any time since the recovery began.

On the international front, Obama has been able to add to his legacy with several landmark agreements.

PO: On climate, our early investment in clean energy ignited a clean energy industry boom. Our actions to help reduce our carbon admissions brought China to the table, and last week in Paris nearly 200 nations forged a historic agreement that was only possible because of American leadership.

President Barack Obama said Friday that the Republican Party is the "only major party" in the "advanced world" that denies climate change."Keep in mind right now, the American Republican Party is the only major party that I can think of in the advanced world that effectively denies climate change," Obama said at what was billed as his last press conference of the year. "I mean, it’s an outlier."

The President also listed the Iran nuclear deal, reopened Cuban relations, and TPP. He also pointed out that marriage equality also became the law of the land.

The spending bill that will keep the government funded was also a victory for this president.

One of the main reasons why Republicans can’t stand President Obama is that he has been successful in all the areas where George W. Bush failed. Obama has been better on the economy, better on national security, and better in both the foreign and domestic realms than the last Republican president.

Mostly, though, Obama has won. For years, President Obama has emerged from every showdown with Republicans as the winner.After seven years of disrespect, this president has earned a victory lap, and it is worthwhile to remind the American people how good of a job he continues to do.
