Watching some of the news today got this Yellow Dog growling!
I have heard a lot about how the president has done nothing to help the job crises today. I have also heard how much he has supposedly dropped the ball on some of his promises he gave when he was elected.
Well guess what? He has had to clean up the mess that Bushy left us. If it wasn’t for the work he has put in to clean it up, I would still be on the street with no hope. It was thanks to many of the budget cuts and things done to help businesses like the insurance companies that the Bush White House did that cost me when my life got blown away in 2011. If the Obama White house did not go repairing many of the things bush did, many people would be a lot worse off. Yet no one seems to be looking at that. He had a lot of things to fix, and still does.
What we as the voting public need to do is get him in with a Congress that will work with him, that can see more than their little part of the U.S.A. We are all in this together. Who you vote for in Webb City, Mo will affect people in New York, NY, and vice versa. “We The People” must work the vote for all of us. If we look at just our little piece of the country will dame us all.
As we go to the polls, I want us all to think of the people still on the streets. Those that want to be in a home, have a job, have a life. There are people right now on the streets that did everything the way they were supposed to do it, at least how they were taught it was supposed to work. The next thing they know they lost everything in a second. Either their job closed, a natural disaster, an injury, the list goes on. Oh they saved, had insurance, did all they were supposed to. Yet they get told of some loop hole that makes it where the insurance does not have to pay. The savings get use on everything that is needed in life. They also find a job market that is not hiring. Then they find that the government help that they had been paying taxes for can’t help because somebody in government said that due to new legislation to balance the budget, they can’t help. Yet the pork barrel stuff is still going on. They end up, no matter how hard they try, homeless, on the side of the street, flying a sign. And remember that President Obama has been cleaning up the mess that Bush left, that the reason some of the promises have not come around. He is trying to give people a hand up, something the previous White House seemed not to keen on. After that, he can work on taking us to that next level he wants to take us to.
Oh, and guess what? He needs our help, by watching what is going on in the world and on our blocks. To use our power of voting to help everyone, not just what might help us and us alone.
