Recently in Detroit, thousands of people lined up to get "free money".....Reporter Ken Rogulski, with WJR News interviewed some of those in line. The following is a transcript of two of those interviews......
Number 1
ROGULSKI: Why are you here?
WOMAN #1: To get some money.
ROGULSKI: What kind of money?
WOMAN #1: Obama money.
ROGULSKI: Where's it coming from?
WOMAN #1: Obama
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?
WOMAN #1: I don't know, his stash. I don't know. (laughter) I don't know
where he got it from, but he givin' it to us, to help us.
WOMAN #2: And we love him.
WOMAN #1: We love him. That's why we voted for him!
WOMEN: (chanting) Obama! Obama! Obama! (laughing)
Number 2
ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?
WOMAN #3: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the
results are going to be.
ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you're getting?
WOMAN #3: No, I won't, but I'm waiting for a phone call.
ROGULSKI: Where's the money coming from?
WOMAN #3: I believe it's coming from the City of Detroit or the state.
ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?
WOMAN #3: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?
WOMAN#3: Obama getting the funds from... Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you
the truth. He's the president.
ROGULSKI: In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News
After hearing that, I immediately went to the emergency room where they fitted me with one of those big cushy neck braces. I needed it for two reasons.....
First....as I was listening, my bottom jaw fell open so far, that I could not close it. The brace is helping to slowly return it to it's normal closed position (the fact that "closed" is the normal position is highly debated among family and friends).....but anyway....
Secondly.....I had to get the big cushy neck brace because as I was listening, I was shaking my head so violently that I think I pulled a muscle in my neck....(Thankfully we can go to the emergency room for free now....we can...right?)
Now that I am recovering, I wanted to share a couple thoughts on this.....
Question..."why are you here?".....Answer..."to get some money".......that in itself shows that far too many people have never studied civics in school. (do they still teach civics in school?) Anyone who knows anything about government would know that you cant just line up and get "Obama money". By her own admission, she didn't know where it came from, because when asked....she said "I don't know"...(you're probably saying right about now..."this guy should be a detective")....Of course she doesn't know....what's more, she doesn't care because it's "free". But then she redeems herself by saying where she truly thinks it came from..."his stash". Those who have truly studied American history in depth, know that every President since Benjamin Franklin has had a secret "stash" of discretionary money to hand out as he feels. Once I realized that this lady was a true student of American history, I had a whole new respect for her. The next couple of comments did concern me though......"we love him" and "that's why we voted for him".....The main reason that I was concerned with the whole "we love him" statement is that if that statement is true.....the Beatles were a bunch of big-fat-liars......because they were VERY clear in their circa 1964 hit that "money can't buy me love".....and here we have this obviously intelligent woman saying something much to the contrary.....all I can say is that somebody has some "'splainin' to do"......My next concern was the statement of "that's why we voted for him".....I find that very offensive, because anyone that knows anything.... knows that he was elected solely on his past record of accomplishments. To assert that people voted for him ONLY because they thought they would receive money....is well....offensive at best. All a person has to do is look at years of "community organizing", his voting record while in the Illinois State Congress and then again his voting record in the U.S. Senate.....THAT is why he was elected....his vast experience and accomplishments. To assert anything else.....much less that he would stoop to "buying votes"....is just irresponsible.
The second lady was obviously much better educated than the first.....that's a given. After all, when asked where the money came from....she said "the City of Detroit".....and we all know how financially stable the City of Detroit is..... however she backed down from that statement by saying "or the state"....now that's just silly. Then she was asked "where did they get it from"....and she redeemed herself by answering "some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama".....There you go....from Obama....she obviously knows about the secret "stash" that all Presidents have.....and then the nasty reporter pushes her to see where Obama got the money....Knowing that he obviously didn't know about the "stash".....she tries to change the direction of the conversation by saying "Ummmm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He's the President"......well played Woman #3.....well played.....So take that Ken Rogulski...(if that is your real name).
Wow......so...how do you follow that?......those interviews are as hard to follow as something that is very difficult to follow......but I will try. Seriously "free money"....has anyone in that line ever heard of paying taxes?......or have they always been on the receiving end? The government does not have a revenue source other than taxes (well...and those "fees" as well....but those are NOT taxes). If we don't wake up and start teaching personal responsibility, we are going to wake up one day and the majority will be on the government dole....and a very small number of "select few rich people" will be paying taxes to support them....and after a short while of that...those with money will leave the country because they can't take it anymore. Look at other countries that have become a "nanny state", that is exactly what has happened. A system like that rewards laziness....discourages people from succeeding....and punishes (through ridiculously high taxes) those who do. I was always taught that "there is no free lunch".....I am beginning to question that wisdom.....I am also looking forward to meeting Santa Claus this Christmas Eve....(oops...I meant Winter Festival Where We Do Not Celebrate, Nor Acknowledge The Birth Or Existence Of Anything Or Anyone Associated With Any Religion....or in it's short form.......... WFWWDNCNATBOEOAOAAWAR)..............Then Again....That's Just Me
