NADINE M. MATHIS: Don’t let America down, Mr. President

Mr. President, our United States and its older generation are not billionaires as you are. However, we worked all of our younger years so that we could draw Social Security.

This is not a handout or Medicaid. We worked and earned this money. Why don’t you recognize us in the world? We are not begging for a raise because we know we deserve it. It belongs to us. We went to work, rain or shine, and we own this.

So, I say get going on Social Security. Please, Mr. President, I know you were surprised when you got all the votes to be elected, however, most Americans were shocked that you won, You see, it takes charisma, truth, integrity, love and lots of give and take, and now you must realize this is a big job.

I think you want millionaires and billionaires on the job. Really, none of you know how the hardworking Americans operate. I think all of Congress should be terminated at once. They don’t like you or love and this makes your life much harder because they don’t understand you or how Americans operate.

For the past eight years, our nation has lost its way. Please don’t let America down. If you can’t get things done, there is something wrong with you. I’ll say it should not take all of the people you have in the White House to run things. What’s wrong with your thinking? have you failed in being president?

In another six months, I say give the job up if you can’t get people to see how you think and work in the White House. tell them you want out by Christmas and save yourself misery down the road This is really embarrassing for the American way of life. However, all come short of lifestyle, so God help us, guide us, show us, be with us always, and so be it.
