This comment is so appropo, I had to post it as a new item!
Yes, why can’t Obama stay home and take care of America!
We are drowning!
Drowning in debt and sorrow and anger.
Losing homes! People living on the street with children! No jobs!
Why do we keep starting wars in other countries?
Why do we keep giving money to Pakistan, Afghanistan and other foreign countries when we cannot even take care of ourselves.
We’re making such fools of ourselves. These people not only hate us, but actually laugh at our stupidity.
What is worse is that we borrow this money to give away! How stupid is that!
When our own people are suffering so much why are we giving money to the people who have more than we do, but choose to live the way they do..
I am sick and tired of obama!
Now he’s getting ready to go to Ireland and other places. Why not stay home why not save that money. Does anybody ever stop and think about the cost of such a trip. To say nothing of the cost of the entourage, security, gasolene, etc, but a second plane has to go along.
MY MESSAGE TO OBAMA IS “STAY HOME!
TAKE CARE OF AMERICA!
STOP STARTING WARS!
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!
GIVE THAT MONEY TO AMERICANS!
YOU ARE NOT PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD – JUST AMERICA!”
I will add, Get out of Afganistan and then there is absolutely no reason to give Pakastan any more money!
Get out of Iraq – We DO NOT OWE THESE PEOPLE! They have lived this way for hundreds of years. We cannot afford to take care of our own people, so why on earth do we feel we must take care of their infrastructure and rebuild their country. Think about it! If America could start from scratch and build a democracy, why can’t they?
I’ll tell you why! They don’t choose to be a democracy!
And with Obama giving away borrowed money, and our taxes stretching us at home so far, we are on the verge of a REVOLUTION ourselves!
So, “YES OBAMA, STAY HOME!!!! We are sick of it!!!”
I am angrier than ever.
What is wrong with our politicians! And most of all – OUR President!
We are trying to balance the budget.
We are trying to raise our debt limit!
We are borrowing money to give trillions of dollars to approximately 26 countries.
Who ever heard of something so stupid. Borrow to give away and threaten our own Americans?
Why on earth would a country treat its own people like this.
We are being threatened by Obama that Veterans, Seniors, disabled, etc may have checks delayed. Social security checks (people have paid into this their whole work lives) may be delayed. People must wait until 67 to 70 to even start social security. Medicare may be delayed.
Taxes are to be raised. Again – this is more so we can give it away while we have families struggling every day just to survive right here in America. Yes we have people actually committing suicide because they have lost hope of getting a job, saving their home or feeding their children.
If these politicians really want to make America a thriving happy country again here is a plan:
1. STOP ALL FOREIGN AID! We get nothing from these countries. We owe these countries nothing. Help your own first. Don’t make your own suffer to help other people who really have the same chance to work on their country. They hate us. They make fun of us. Just stop foreign aid and you will see how quickly we can get out of debt, balance the budget, help our own people save their homes, etc.
2. Close the borders to all immigration for 3 to 5 years. The loss of money to immigrants is phenomenal. We are giving foreigners so much money upon arrival, paying for education, healthcare, losing taxes by allowing delays for them to start business tax free for five or more years and so much more.
That is to say nothing of the losses related to illegal immigrants. So just close all immigration and deport any who come in illegally. Put Americans back into these jobs.
