Barack Obama - Two Million Lost Unemployment Benefits

Who Will Be Minding the Store President Barack Obama?

Sondra C
I am mad President Barak Obama! Actually I am more than mad! I am a zillion dollars mad and the worse part is that there is nothing that I can do about it except rant and watch the unemployment number rise.

When I was a kid we used to buy something and it was too expensive, so we were told to save up our pennies and then we could buy it. When a young friend would ask why our mom would not allow us to buy it, we would say, "It cost a zillion dollars and we cannot afford it"

In the days of my youth anything costing more than we can afford automatically was mentioned as costing a 'zillion' dollars. This was our way, back then, of saying that it is too expensive, the zillion meaning any unaffordable expense. Unemployment was lower then as well.

Today our kids are growing up hearing money in terms of zillions, trillions, and billions sounds like it is cheap. How did this country get into such debt? That's a long story that no one can honestly tell. Everyone has their own version. Each politician, including our President Barack Obama, points a finger at someone else or something else.

It makes no difference at this stage of the game, just how much money we owe. If we stopped lending other countries our money we would have money for our own. If we took our troops out of the three wars we are fighting, not for our country mind you, no matter how much the politicians say it is. These wars are not our responsibility, we can never win, and they are not ours to win or lose. Our people are suffering and on unemployment.

Lets worry about the lives we lost and how many future scientists, doctors, chemists that were lost in a war that is not our business. It started years ago, with each president adding another war to his belt. Enough! Get our young ones home so they can add to the work force and help our economy and reduce the unemployment claims

There will be a shortage of men. Women will have no one to marry. Less children will be born all in the future. Lives will be going down the drain for no reason! and yet, the millions, trillions zillions of dollars will add another number to it and soon will be difficult to say or to imagine in terms of money.

I read this morning that not only has the unemployment rate increased which means more people have no money to buy food! But, they are also going to cut the Food Stamps so our own people will have nothing to eat. I cannot imagine what this country is coming to,

Barack Obama heed the warning. Our fish are dying, our underwater life is coming to a halt. Our water creatures are suffocating in oil!. Two million people are unemployed, and millions will lose their food stamps.

But, we seem to have money to hand out to all of the other countries who come begging.

President Barak Obama enough. Houses that sold for hundreds of dollars now are selling for two figure numbers. Our country is in trouble, open your eyes and see. Make note of all of the homeless and hungry people in this wonderful country that is being destroyed little by little and the millions of decent people now on unemployment.

Everyone should stop blaming each other for the state of affairs we are in. If the two parties put their heads together maybe the madness can stop. I blame the Republicans and Tea Party leaders who want a one time President because of Barak Obama's color.

    I agree! Enough! Get our young ones home so they can add to the work force and help our economy.

    You would have a good handle on it..if you didn't let ideology serve as an impediment to sound reasoning. You "blame the Republicans and those so called Tea Party leaders" AND you accuse us of racism..wow..do you realize that the democrats are in control..and the Obama admin (which remains blameless by you) does not need the GOP to pass anything..as evidenced w/the healthcare bill. Additionally, the tea party folks are everyday people..many out of work because of failed obamanomics & they have no power to pass or veto anything. Additionally, those out of work could have the UI bennies xtended if the libs would have used $$ from the stim pkg..but instead they wanted more $$ from the empty coffers, which would have added to the exploding deficit. Race is not the issue..failed policies are.

    I certainly agree withyour added comment, the Republicans have been out to make President Obama look bad, and cause him to fail. The tea party and Sarah Palin act like a bunch idiots. I wonder if they are all racists.

    I agree with you Sondra and our votes do count.
