... Tanei Benjamin, a single mother in Delaware who is trying to put herself through school.

She works six days a week at $15 an hour, she wrote. After paying rent and child care, she barely makes ends meet. But she doesn’t want to quit school.

Settling down with her laptop, sitting on her bed, she typed, “Mr. President …”

“I am a single mother of one beautiful 5-year-old girl,” she wrote. “I was married and divorced by the age of 16 ...”

She explained how she was working full time while also attending the university. She wanted a business and human resources degree.

“I do everything in my power to raise my daughter to be better than the person I used to be,” she wrote.

But her rent was more than $800 and her child-care expenses were sometimes more than that — on top of taxes and healthcare coverage withheld from her pay.

Peggy The Mooch might have seen the light but there are still another

Another scripted meeting. I don't believe for one min that these persons of interest are random.

Sure they are.

The secret service just lets these moochers walk up to the president whenever one of them wants some more free stuff.

Where is your compassion? She can’t get free birth control because of 5 white men. So we all have to be responsible for her education and for feeding her baby. /S

Oh come on, you can’t tell me that she isn’t getting a free ride to school. I don’t even mind if she does because she is working and trying to better herself.

Maybe Ego. Actual size of any other member may be larger due to TOTUS

At least he’s admitting that he has no interest in white people (as his actions have indicated for years anyway).
