President Obama inherited a broken country mired in two wars, a financial crisis, a mortgage mess and more than we all probably even know about and has in my opinion brought us back from the brink. But I still see my friends in no better shape and the gap widening.

Yet somehow, his misogyny has instead propelled his campaign to the brink of the Republican nomination.
