That's what you don't get......she has a job. It doesn't pay enough. Maybe she shouldn't have such a big mortgage payment. In fact, maybe she ought to renting and have a roommate. Why does someone who can't afford a mortgage have one in the first place? Her back is up against the wall. She's barely making it. She's on her own.....probably doesn't have a husband. Why, you got a hell of a lot more out of that 1 minute video than I did. I didn't see that in there. She probably doesn't have a husband? Why do you say that? Because she's black? Is she more "on her own" than I am? I've been on my own since I was a kid. I didn't have the government giving ME money. Never so much as a freaking student loan. Because I worked my ass off for what I have. There has never been a time that I would have had my hand out to the government. Ever. Nor would I. People who have self respect don't want Obama's medicine. When Gingrich got rid of the Welfare State I thought we had learned a lesson. I guess not. She knows Obama understands her plight Uh, yeah. Obama and his wife are sitting in the Ritz Carlton eating caviar and they understand her "plight". My ass. that he will backstop as much as he possibly can. You all will never get it because you've never been in that position even though you think you have. Just about anyone who has been self employed knows what it is to be broke. So broke you have to choose between paying the rent and keeping the electricity on. So, it isn't foreign to me. And I didn't have any f*cking backstop. It is damned good thing I didn't have. A backstop is another word for handout and we know, with absolute certainty, that backstops serve only to create dependence. We don't need that woman to be dependent on us. She needs to get busy. Get a second job if she already has one. That's what the rest of us do.
