It truly sickens me and embarrasses me. This is NOT America.

I guess yours and my idea of what America stands for are different. I see those same people as saying, "we're working our butt off and can't get ahead- working 2 jobs and not having health benefits". Their doing the right things and falling further and further behind. Their worried about putting food on their tables for their kids and are worried about losing their houses.

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).
