Just last November, pundits were saying that Obamacare's troubled rollout doomed it to failure and Chris Christie was so nationally popular, he was the odds on favorite to win the GOP Presidential primary and perhaps the White House.

Fewer and fewer of the folks who contributed to the success of our economy actually benefited from that success.
