44. Oh for heaven's sake!

Oh, for heavens sake.

I knew I shouldn't have bothered. Just knew some jerk would jump me as a freeper for telling the truth; for expressing my true feelings.

Yes, Obama has been a disappointment for me. The last 4 years have been some of the worst of my life - my husband died, my income has been cut in half, I struggle every day just to put food on the table and a roof over our heads for myself and my daughter, and my government has been absolutely no help. Not one iota.........unless you count the $250.00 burial expense I got from social security as help.

I'm tired. Every day is a battle. I hoped the DEMOCRAT I helped put in office would help all of us breath just a little easier. And, instead, every single day just gets worse and worse.

THIS is why I don't participate here.
