Obama’s success?

Letter writer Mike Viola in his Jan. 4 letter, Obama a success, doesn’t have the facts right. When our president took office, a gallon of regular gasoline was $ 1.89, lower than any time of his administration.

In June of 2009, the economy hit bottom with the smallest seven-year recovery in history since the Great Depression.

He announced that Iraq was stable and took all the troops out, leaving us with the results we have at this time: Paris and San Bernardino. Looks like history will not consider this administration the greatest. Viola’s arguments are wrong.
