What Do Americans Want?

Talk to the voters under 25, and you'll hear praise and glory for Obama. He's the Messiah come back to save the world.
Talk to the older voters and you'll hear an entirely different story. They can't wait for the next election to vote against him.
Who's right? What do the majority of Americans want?
They want jobs, Mr. Presidnet. With an increase in jobs, the economy goes up, the government gets more money and the people are happy. Without jobs, there is no money to spend on cars from GM gov or any other car company. No money to spend on food, let alone purchase extras, like clothes, houses, and big screen TV's. Have you looked at how many people have declared backruptcy in the last couple of years, Mr. President? People need jobs before healthcare plans, before worrying about the wars, before they care what happens around the world. Where are all those jobs you were going to create? No one is hiring Mr. President. More and more companies are laying off workers. Is this the America you envisioned?
I keep hearing stories that this is what the Democrats want: the people on the government rolls. Keep them down, don't let them get ahead. More government, less choice. I hope that isn't true but I haven't seen much evidence to the contrary. If Obama gets his way, and they pass this healthcare package, there will be even more people laid off when all the insurance companies go under. And they will go under. No one will be able to go lower than the government plan because of business overheads and payrolls that have to be met. Nothing to be done but downsizing and finally, bankruptcy and closure. Then he'll have his public system and more people than ever living off the government.
I never thought I'd see us living off the government and being cheered on to do it. I thought this was a country where people had a strong work ethic and people were encouraged to get off welfare and work for a living. I never thought I'd see us go into another depression. Yes, I said depression. We are a hair's breadth away from it right now.
So, Mr. President, we need jobs to survive in this country. If you'd get everyone back to work, there would be money going into Social Security and Medicare and those programs could be saved. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Our fore-fathers must be spinning in their graves at the way this country is being run now. Did you know these far left progressives have taken any mention of fore-fathers out of school textbooks? And Teachers can't get jobs, Mr. President. That's a sad commentary to our education system.
Change, yes we can! I see a big change coming. There was another president around when the country was in dire straits, Mr. President. Jimmy Carter, perhaps you've heard of him? He had a short run and so will you, Mr. President. ~One Voice
