Dear President Obama, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you have done and are doing. You see I am a single Mom located in the very small town of Palmer, Texas. I live in a small rental house with my two children. I drive an older car that I pray daily runs just a little longer. I work at a mediocre job bringing home a much lower paycheck than you or your wife could even imagine living on. I have a lot of concerns about the new “Obamacare” along with the taxes being forced on us Americans and debts you are adding to our country. I have a few questions for you Mr. President. Have you ever struggled to pay your bills? I have. Have you ever sat and watched your children eat and you eat what was left on their plates when they were done, because there wasn’t enough for you to eat to? I have. Have you ever had to rob Peter to pay Paul, and it still not be enough? I have. Have you ever been so sick that you needed to see a doctor and get medicine, but had no health insurance because it was too expensive? I have. Have you ever had to tell your children no, when they asked for something they needed? I have. Have you ever patched holes in pants, glued shoes, replaced zippers, because it was cheaper than buying new? I have. Have you ever had to put an item or two back at the grocery store, because you didn’t have enough money? I have. Have you ever cried yourself to sleep, because you had no clue how you were going to make ends meet? I have. My questions could go on and on. I don’t believe you have a clue what Americans are actually going through and honestly, I don’t believe you care. Not everyone lives extravagantly. While your family takes expensive trips that cost more than most of us make in two-four years, there are so many of us that suffer. Yet, you are doing all you can to add to the suffering. I think you are a very selfish and cold hearted man, who does not care what is best for the people he was elected by (not by me) to represent, but more so out for the glory of your name attached to history. So thank you Mr. President, thank you for pushing those of us that are barely staying afloat completely under water and driving America into the ground. You have made your mark in history, as the absolute worst and most hated president of the United States. God have mercy on your soul! Sincerely, Yolanda Vestal Average American
Has she ever voted for politicians who actually have her in mind, trying to build safety nets and make certain she and her kids have healthcare, higher wages, better schools, housing assistance, hot lunch programs for the children and expanded food programs for the family. It's obvious she is concerned about her family as many Americans are who go to the polls time after time and vote for big business and wealthy politicians to widen the gulf between rich and poor.
I said this to shooter, I'll say it to you mags. Just because you get it in an email forward doesn't mean it needs to be posted. So wait..the guy who got chastised over and over for being "just a community organizer" never struggled to pay his bills? seriously? yeah, Obama has always had tons and tons of money... worst and most hated? it's idiotic, ignorant and short sighted comments like this that make me chuckle. Most hated? Please, pick up and read a history book.
Just giving an Obama fan's perspective. Even his own low income minorities are turning on him. Nothing to see here
I think that's the point. She is poor and turning on the president that proclaims he's for people in her state. Obviously a fail
She doesn't sound that poor, just dumb and entitled. Probably actually believed that Obama would be different and would hook everyone up. Lol. Dumbass
I figured it was a good tool to get readers to read it. The democrats would be like "awe a heartfelt letter" and the republicans would be like "yeah fuck that, no way this is right!"
It sounds like she needs to lower her standards of living. Most of her problems middle class families go through too
Possible... I read it more of a poor lady that voted for Obama hoping for change. She definitely got it!
Actually she probably thought that she'd be rich now that she voted for Obama. Nothing changed except now she has to buy healthcare and probably spend less on yoga pants
a heart felt letter usually doesn't come off as someone forgetting facts and reality. THat letter would've made far more sense being addressed to someone who actually grew up with a rich family/background and always had money and never struggled financially. You know, like Mitt Romney or George Bush or Steve Forbes. Complaining about having to struggle financially to a man who had a single mom and never made a lot of money until about 12 or so years ago, sounds like someone who has a very tenuous grasp on reality.
