Raghu Ballal: Seeing the light

It was interesting to read George Will’s April 13 column “Containing Iran’s nuclear intoxication.” I am not a fan of Will’s writings and am surprised that he sees the fundamental goodness in President Obama’s Iran initiative. But I could not help but notice how much he is holding his breath to say a few nice things about the president.

If he just opens his eyes a little wider and sees the good that has come about from the policies that he railed against such as the Affordable Care Act, education, environmental efforts, economy, welfare and immigration, he will see that things are better than what he paints them to be.

Keep in mind also that Obama is still cleaning up the international mess created by the disastrous policies of the previous Republican president.
