georgewill - You are, probably, one of the ones who voted for Nobama. Give him a chance? He had 4 years! All he did was make everything worse! People like you scare me.
I know of a woman who is disabled. She went to file for something (I don't know what), and she was told that she could get a free cell phone. She told them she already had a phone and they said, "here take it, it's free". What in the world????!!!!!
Certainly, not me. I voted against him, but I only had one vote. I wanted to cry when he was re-elected. He is taking our country down, bit by bit. If he wants to stop some spending, look into welfare, wick, and food stamps. I, constantly, see people in line at the grocery store with 4 or 5 kids using their food stamps, etc. and then getting into their new truck or car in the parking lot. These cards sould not be used for chewing gum, candy, and other things that are not needed.
I worked two jobs a while ago and there was a girl working there who had an illegal boyfriend. I told the local police about him and they did nothing. Next thing I know, she is pregnant by him and using a Wick card and food stamps. This is just one example. So much of this is going on and the taxpayers are paying for it. Why isn't the government doing anything about this??? I am sick of paying for someone else to live a better life than I have. They buy steaks and whatever else they want and I am working two jobs just to make ends meet. I have never gotten any money from the government. I worked for everything I have, which is not that much. When are we going to stop this kind of abuse? I knew another girl a few years ago that worked in a grocery store. (I was working two jobs then, too). She said she was living with a boyfriend and they both got subsidies from the government because they were not married. She bragged about it. Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire some folks to look into these things and stop some of it? I am just so frustrated about all of it, but nothing ever gets done.
I don't listen to anything he has to say. If I see him on tv, I turn the channel. I have never heard a politician talk so much and say nothing. Well, maybe Jimmy Carter or Johnson.
How many poor people every gave you a job? Most rich people made their money by working for it. They already pay more taxes than anyone else. Taxing the rich more is so stupid. Nobama wanted that so some of his middle class and poor folks would like to stick it to the rich. A lot of poor people do not like rich folks. Why? They earned their money, for the most part.
There are so many ways the govnerment could reduce spending, but they might lose votes. I could name hundreds, but don't have the space or time. Cutting Medicare and SS is not the answer. Yes, we could do some repairs on SS, but most folks have worked their whole lives to retire and have that money available. Even most of that is not enough to live on for many people. If you want some ways we are spending money in a stupid way, let me know.
I was a Democrat before Nobama was elected. When he was elected, I changed to being a Republician. Unfortunately, they are not doing so great, either. It would be great if they would all stop being politicians and start being representaives like they should be.
One other thing. Why does Congress have the power to give themselves a raise? Who else does that? Why don't politicians have to abide by the same rules as everyone else? How did it get this way? Did we do it to ourselves? I hope not. Nobama care is going to be one of the worst things to happen to our country in decades. Did he care that 50% of the people did not want it? No, that was his agenda and he is sticking by it. Our country is going down the tubes because of "politicians", not real representatives. I am over 65 and hope I won't be around when the crap hits the fan.
He is, probably, out playing golf.
Because so many folks are not intelligent enough to even know who the vice president is. They voted for him because he is black and because he gives them free "stuff". Allen West would make a good president. He is smart and would make better decisions. If you have seen some of the interviews of people who voted for Nobama, you would see just how uneducated they are. Some of the black folks didn't even know who Colin Powell is. I don't care what color skin people have if they are smart, fair, and do what is best for our country. Nobama has never done that and doesn't give a darn what the people want. He deserves vacations like the rest of us. But why does he have to spend so much money and go to extravagant places like Hawaii? Most of his antics are a slap in the face of most Americans who have no job, no place to live and barely survive. Does he care? NOT ONE BIT!
I really don't know why anyone is listening to this idiot! Who cares what he thinks? He is not anyone important. Why is he getting so much press and why does he have a show? Boggles the mind.
