I Don't Know Why America and Presidents Confuse Me

I Try to Figure Out What This Country is All About but Most Times I Get Confused

Sondra C
I don't know why the day after the Presidential Elections, we get others who prepare to run to be President four years down the road.

I don't know why those who supported the new President start to blast and attack him by the end of the week.

I don't know why this Country cannot stick together to help those impoverished in our own country instead of rushing and by-passing them in order to help those in far away countries.

I don't know why this country becomes divided by those who promise things the people who live in this country want to hear. After all, everyone knows that none of their promises will come true.

I do not know why we cannot back the man we voted for instead of blasting him and not giving him the time to make things right when it was the former Presidents who created the mess.

I do not know why the bankers are so rich or why they cannot give more to the citizens who are in need. Bankers have always had a hand in the pockets of all of the United States Citizens. The more they take, the more they want...somehow it does not make sense to me. Someone has to put a halt to this of there will no longer be any middle class citizens.

I could go on like this much longer. But you and I know that whatever I think or say, it will not make a difference to any of the big wigs in this country, They will still say and do as they want and take money from the poor to give to the rich. Somehow I remember the story of Robin Hood was the complete opposite! When has everything changed?

I do not know when America Became so Confusing!

I remember when politics was interesting to listen to. I recall listening to the radio when President Roosevelt spoke. We could not see him and never saw him in a wheelchair but his voice was eloquent when he discussed the affairs of the country.

    I stay confused too- mostly by choice since I don't get involved...

    Lorraine, I dissagree. The Republican party stood and still stands in the way of him building up the country. They fought him with every thing he wanted to do, and the banks did not help one bit. They stopped him from the day he took office, and so did Palin with her lies about him. He never got a chance and the people believed the lies that were told about him by those I mentioned above. If you had won a big national election and then others had lied about you and still do, you would find your hands tied as well. This matter about his birth is absolutely nonsense and Donald Trump had the last word and you cannot say much about Trump.

    Sondra, understand that we cannot back the president we voted for (NOT speaking for myself here....) because he has betrayed the American people and is taking the country down instead of building it up. Surely, you get that.

    I couldn't agree with you more. This Reverse Robin Hood business has got to stop!

    Update: Now it seems it's rob from the poor to give to the rich. Robin Hood ideas perverted.

    I so agree with this Sondra and it is a very good article. We know all too well with the banks what is happening and I also question the homeless and hungry in our own country as we send food and clothing to other countries. I always say we need to take care of our own first and then take care of others. I won't go on.I like this article though. Great job

    You are so right on this Sondra. You really know how to write about things that we all can connect with. Outstanding.
