President Obama is giving away the country

| May 5, 2013 7:00 AM

Back when I was young we didn’t have anything, just mom, dad, two brothers, a sister and me living an old log cabin overlooking Springy Point. Two more sisters and a brother came later. Except for a few pop bottles we would find in the road-ditch and sell for pennies, our living came from working.

Roosevelt was president and my father worked for the WPA. My uncles worked for the CCC, APW and Blister-rust. I was raised as a Democrat, which I was until the Clinton era. Clinton’s immorality caused me to switch parties.

Lately, some politicians claim that the Roosevelt period was socialistic/communistic. In reviewing that position I came to a similar conclusion. Government did provide almost everything back then. Now, the same politicians are comparing the present (Obama’s) presidency with Roosevelt’s and say “it is also communistic.”

This, I believe to be true except for one area — work. Presently people just proclaim that they are being persecuted and everything is given to them. Whatever happened to work? We need to find a way to give people back their spine and make work our religion again.

It’s no wonder our country is inundated with thieves, also we must get rid of this president, he is giving away our country.
