Dear Mr. President:
“We The People” realize you have an agenda that must be met. It’s got to be difficult for you and your “buds” in the white house to spin plates all day yet accomplish so little. I’m writing today so I can help you prioritize your “to do” list.
Today there will be approximately:
- 60 Americans who will die from being uninsured
- 109 who will die in an automobile accident related death
- 2,191 people who will attempt suicide
- 1,566 homes in California alone will be foreclosed on. This means approximately 2,700 people will no longer have the security they had just a few months ago.
- 15 million (and we know that number is actually much higher) have lost their jobs. They have no way to pay their bills. Over 4 million of them have been out of a job for 6 months… 182 days.
But the number of unemployed doesn’t just affect 15 million people Mr. President. The number of unemployed also affects the immediate family of the unemployed. That number also creates a hardship on the friends and relatives of the unemployed.
Let’s be real with that number. Today 90 million people will be in some way affected by unemployment. Some won’t eat. Some won’t sleep. Some won’t have a place to live. Some will give their savings to a family member in need.
We know your agenda is just that, your agenda, and actually we’re used to that. It doesn’t shock many of us anymore. It was a tricky, tricky, tricky move to bring in all the Doctors (in lab coats no less). They looked like the lost cast of Dexters Laboratory Much more on that in a post later today.
We’re happy that you and your family are eating fresh fruit and vegetables from a new market near the White House. Mmm, Mmm, Mmm. We’re excited to know that we can still afford to pay for 2 jumbo jets for you, your wife, and Oprah to go to Denmark at over 1 million dollars per plane when so many of us can’t even afford 3 meals a day. I’m glad we could help you out.
I’m equally as excited to see that, after the auto industry bailout that cost each tax payer how much?… General Motors was down 45% in September yet good old Ford who didn’t take a bailout was only down 3.3%. I’d say we flopped on that one Mr. Obama, that wasn’t really a great investment.
It makes me all gushy-happy to see Nancy Pelosi get off a private plane and then have such total disregard for the people that foot the bill. It really is nice to see how much she cares.
Lucky for me, I am a small business owner and have enough money to financially “bail-out” both of my sisters.
Let’s go back over those numbers again. The ones on your “to-do” list. And I’ll leave this one on you. You’re intelligent. Do you see anything a little “off” on your agenda… on your focus?
Your proposed health care reform abortion won’t even take affect until you’re voted out of office because you only did one thing you promised during campaign time. I’ll have to hand it to you though, VERY strategic on the timing (as if we didn’t understand, good grief). Since your proposed health care reform plan (that you don’t even have on paper yet) isn’t going come into play until 2013, don’t you think it MAY be a good idea to focus on the 15 million people out of a job today? Color me… the opposite of red.
