My husband died before he drew a dime of the S.S. and medi-care he paid in. I worked until I became so physically disabled all I could do was take some care of my brain-damaged grandson. We worked as hard for our wages which were much lower for the same jobs. I do NOT get food stamps or every other social program I can. I live on the least from the gov't and tax-payer I can. So please remember there are some of us that aren't just gimme everything I can get free. I have a big problem with those that do. I am still on partial widow benefits and will be as long as I can. Better look up DHIMITUDE on page 107 of Obama'a health care bill. Muslim term.

Ya'll have to keep in mind, a great many people that voted for him don't have or need jobs; they get a hand out every month from Uncle Sam. They most certainly aren't worried about unemployment figures.

There are people who care. I want to give public notice that at Fox 16 there are. Take note of JOHN !!!!! He posted a story about the hungry in the Cabot area for Thanksgiving. Let people know where they could eat if they were needy. I asked if there was a place that helped those who were shut-ins like me. This wonderful man noticed and went out of his way for me. THANKS to JOHN I will have Thanksgiving for the first time in several years. I don't have transportation and have a brain-damaged grandson [mother deceased] and am a disabled widow. THANK YOU JOHN AND FOX 16 !!!!!!

Hope that all of you that voted for Obama will still have jobs in a few months. All of these reports were held until after the elections because he could not have been re-elected if all the bad news would have come out before. Pat yourself on the back for sending America into a recession.
