[Gaffer]

I’m from Georgia..back in 76 before the election, I’d mustered out and returned home after 8 years overseas.

Got a job for $150/week, with a wife and baby. It was hard then. I remember waking up the day after the election and hearing Jimmy won. There was never a time in the military when I felt so deflated.

I also remember scrimping for gas to go to college on the GI bill, my wife working in a bakery for minimum wage and having to be Charlie Hustle for three straight hard years of school. We lived through Jimmy and eventually won - not lucky, we won because of hard work and the votes of my generation against that bastard.

Fast forward a buttload of years - I (we,and my family) do okay - very well - I just bought my minimum wage bride a new Explorer that cost more than I ever thought to make in the military, and then some. She takes our grand daughters everywhere in it.

We’ve got another bastard in charge - it is time to do something about him.

How much does it cost you to fill up that Explorer?

I would like to have one, but I think that these high gas prices will kill me at the pump if I had to fill up one of those fine Explorers.

Everybody who lived through the Carter years has a story to tell. I got up before 7 a.m. and parked my car six blocks from my downtown place of employment so I could save on parking and get to my first place of employment by 8 a.m. Worked until 1 or 2 p.m. when I drove to campus for classes which ran until 5:30 p.m. The business owner was an alumni of the campus I attended so was flexible to accommodate my afternoon classes-- lucky me! When classes ended, I drove like crazy so I could report to my 2nd job's evening shift by 6 p.m. which ran until half past midnight. I ate out of a paper bag and changed clothes on the way. The only thing which kept me sane was Ronald Reagan's radio show on the drive over. I'd get home at 1 a.m., hit the sack (or eat if I was hungry) and repeat next day.

When these ObaMao morons start whining about how they need more help from the government, I feel like smacking them on their ass.
