I never expected a
President to send me personal condolences
when someone with
whom I was close was injured or died.
Never once have I
waited to receive a phone call with a message
of hope when I lost
a job. Never did I ask for or expect Federal
assistance or aid
during those rough financial times when I
struggled to pay the
bills.
Who am I, but one in
some 340-million who admits responsi-
bility for his own
actions and deeds. And yet, there is always
a measure of faith
and hope held in community for better times.
It is of worth to
say that keeping our homeland safe and relying
on a viable economy
is our right as taxpayers to expect of those
we place in public
office with the trust of our vote.
I am proud, I must
say, of my country when in the face of tragedy
our President stands
up in front of a congregation of mourners in
South Carolina to
elevate as he sings Amazing Grace; who with
profound compassion
openly sheds tears for all Americans over
precious lives lost
at Sandy Hook Elementary.
As a Nation, through
rough times, we must press on, and fer-
vently commit to
doing the best we can. However, I must admit
that I am disturbed
and reviled by a President-elect whose words
and actions bully
and divide; he who spends his time before dawn
spewing sophomoric
and venomous rhetorical diatribes of para-
noia and revenge; he
who Tweets so callously in 120-words or
fewer; he the
obnoxious one who so openly admires the despotic
leadership of
international murderers and thugs.
America, America,
what the hell?
