This photo-op is a perfect illustration for what the Obama Nation will bring us:

Whitewash, window dressing, and the enslavement of working people to “help out” those who can’t be bothered.

Is there any reason why these “homeless teens” can’t take care of the residence where they live for free themselved?

I’m getting sicker and more pissed-off by the moment. Just 5 minutes ago my daughter was flipping through the channels and caught a station announcement on a CBS affiliate talking about the coronation tomorrow - the breathless announcer said, and I quote, that this is “the biggest event in the history of our nation.”

Actually, it is. The final destruction of the country is indeed a big event.

I want Obama to personally tell me to my face what he means that I need to “pitch in”. What, the cumulative 50% of my income that I pay in various taxes isn’t enough “pitching in”?

FOAD, Obama. You aren’t my president.

Homeless Shelter for Teens... first of all... there should be no such thing... where are their parents?

This is Washington, DC. Their fathers are likely unknown, and also likely in prison. Their mothers are likely strung out on meth/crack/heroin/etc. and unable to care for them. Running away from home might actually have been a smart move.

I’m going to rant a little bit.

My niece just married a democrat. His mom was the first female superior court judge in Texas. He is fairly well off. My niece and her husband are in their early 20s, and they are fairly well off. They got married in April, and they have already been to Europe, on a cruise, skiing, and to Las Vegas several times.

He voted for Obama and is a big supporter. I know that he and my niece don’t do any community service. They have the time, but they are too busy partying and vacationing to volunteer at anything.

Then you have my husband and I who have sacrificed a ton so that I could be a stay at home mom. My husband doesn’t have any time to do any community service, but I do. I work in my kids school, help at church, and have been a girl scout leader and now a Gems leader.

It just went with the job of being a mom. I’ve never thought anything about doing community service. It was never a big deal. I’ve always helped other people if I had the time. That’s just the way I was raised.

I hate the focus on community service like it is some noble cause.
