Desperate mother sells handwritten letter from Obama to avoid being evicted
Daily Mail ^ | 6/15/2011 | RACHEL QUIGLEY

Posted on 06/15/2011 8:53:56 AM PDT by NMEwithin

Opening the handwritten letter from President Obama brought a glimmer of hope to her life as he promised her that things would get better for her and her family. And despite the fact Destiny Mathis, from Hobart, Indiana, treasured the letter, more than two years later she has no choice but to sell it as she and her three children face eviction from their home. The 26-year-old was an avid campaigner for Mr Obama in 2008, getting T-shirts made and encouraging people in her neighbourhood to vote.

She is lucky is wasn’t worthless. Seems more appropriate to use as toilet paper.

The twisted MSM headline “Obama saves family from eviction.”

Sure is. Pathetic irony.

I suppose she could go live with his brother in that shack, wherever it is. It's the least her HERO could do.

I think that will be reserved for Bernankos, our new currency tied to the Vulgarian groat, for stability.

Ya beat me to it... I would add that it should be worth as much as the value of the dollar in a couple more years.

To some probably worth something to somebody, like Hitler memorabilia collectors.

Oh the irony indeed. I thought Obama was supposed to find a way to pay for his supporters mortgages and gas:

great story....
- top of her class in 2005 but probably not in English.
- she's in dire straits
- 3 kids no husband
- out of work and being evicted
- 8 months is long enough for Obama to do something
- needs a 3 bedroom place to live
- has no job
- nobody will give her a chance

so, she turns to capitalism...sell a valuable.
America, what a country !!

She wrote: 'I do think people are coming down too hard on you and your administration. An eight-year mess cannot be fixed in only two years’ time.'

Well, I see she has Zero's BS spin down pat. Eight-year mess lady? Eight years when we didn't even sniff 5% unemployment until the housing mess that you libbie frauds created nearly destroyed this country's banking system? You mean that "mess"? BLEEP YOU! Go take that $11K and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Murder memorabilia is always popular with some - a letter from the guy who killed the American economy has to have some worth in those circles.

Best to sell before the worth turns to zero.

I bet she’d vote for Obama again too. They never, ever learn.

You beat me to it. She is lucky she was able to get money for it because in the future his letters will be used as toilet paper or the bottom of bird cages.

From what I've seen of the comments, she isn't getting much sympathy from the readers of the Daily Mail.
