The economy sucks balls and has for a while. This isn't news. If you have half a brain then you know how it got to the current ball-sucking point, that is to say the previous administration was asleep at the economic switch. So in comes a new president. Now, here's the part you need to pay attention to because from all the whining going on these days I think most folks' memory spans have shrunk to that of a dung beetle. In his acceptance speech on the night he won by a landslide, Mr. Obama said that it would be a very difficult road ahead. It would years to climb out of the hole the economy was in, maybe even take longer than his first term as president. But he said no matter how long it took, he'd get us there. Everyone cheered. Yay! We're with you! We support you! We believe you, Mr. President!
If you were one of these supporters on that night but are now complaining that only three years down the road the country isn't swimming in money and prosperity, you are a child and need to shut your pie-hole. It took a world war to pull us out of the depression of 1929. Think about that a second. We didn't enter the war until 1941. President Obama has had three years. No president, not FDR, not Kennedy, not even Clinton could pull us out of this crap in that short of time. Obama knew that and said so. Repeatedly. You, if you supported him back then, were fully aware of this when you voted. So shut the hell up and let the man do his job.
Amen brother. Thank you.
