In this episode's "sticky notes" I discuss the numerous failures of GOP congressional leadership and their efforts to sweep these failures under the rug. I discuss the Iran deal and the Iranian's commitment to embarrassing the Obama administration at all costs. I conclude "sticky notes" with a discussion of world renowned scientist Freeman Dyson's critique of climate science and the Obama administration. The core topic of the show is a discussion of President Obama's statement that we are "better off than we were seven years ago."
