My idea of America was that we all would help and be judged on how we would treat the less fortunate amongst us. That people who worked hard and tried to do the right thing would be able to afford decent housing and be able to put food on their table. That someone would not be judged by his religion.

It truly sickens me and embarresses me what we have become - The racists things said about Obama when he was running for Pres. was an EMBARRASSMENT! The class warfare going on now is disheartening. This is NOT America (but I still love it and won't consider going to another country).
really? You'd hire this guy? This guy got ACCEPTED into college? This guy is a COMMUNICATIONS MAJOR?????
You think the country OWES him something???? The country owes him nothing! I personally owe him NOTHING! He gets 15 cents from every large fry I order! But I will have to PAY for this guy's health care? Why, bceasue my parents busted my ass to study? I went to a freakin state school, never got a penny from anyone! The FACT why this guy cant get a better job is because he does not deserve one! dont give me this crap that people are working hard and cant get ahead. Its ALWAYS been that way, its nothing new. Yes, some good people are suffering, but rewarding people like this guy will RUIN america! Obama, should have set him straight and said son " if you want a better job, you need to speak better english, you need to study and LEARN. And, its NOT what I can do for you, what can you do for your country?"
