As the saying goes, “Hope springs eternal” (or something like that).  Suffice to say, as we usher in a new year, there is certainly a degree of optimism and hope that we carry with us.  We have our New Year resolutions and a resolute desire on how we are going to approach the upcoming months.  [...]

Unfortunately for many of our previous presidents they stepped into our country’s most powerful role with less than half of our country’s support. Not a ringing endorsement and a heck of a [...]
