Obama spends $425,000 on a Valentines trip to Chicago using Air Force One, and serves his guests at the WH parties $100 a pound steak, and hypes the lousy $250.00 so-called tax cut/stimulus…meanwhile giving those Wall Street crooks and Fannie and Freddie Mae billions and billions(CitiBank got 49 Billion, and is now busily screwing it’s customers with cancellations and obscene interest rates hikes). What a bunch of crap. At least George Bush gave me a check for $600, which was an amount that really made a difference. That $250.00…is just “chump change”….or change I don’t believe in.

The topic of life being tough, is a real sensitive topic. You have the people being effected by it, and the people who are’nt. That clashes all by itself. Rich people look down on poor people, and the middle class (like myself) are trying like hell to survive the poor. Thats terrible. I feel like I’m poor. We all do who are’nt rich. I cant wait till everything is back to normal, and everyone can feel good about themselves and what they do. I wrote a song called “Toughest Days” that is about this.

I will be smart and save only a portion of the stimulus check for emergencies and use the remainder to pay my utility bills and clothing. I think the people on welfare and unemployment should be made to get off their butts and find jobs. They are out there. They are just too lazy to get up from the tv and go looking.

It’s really crazy reading all of the comments. I think everyone has valid reason for being upset. We all know when someone wants the title of “President” they will say whatever they need to to get it……that includes lying to people. Thats such a shame to, because, I’m not a single mother I have two small girls and my husband lost his job in February so we have been living on my waitress income to survive. I’ve lost my vehicle, counting change to buy food, my gas is off as I type…..and where do you go? Human Services says no, my folks say no, and I cannot bare the thought of asking my grandparents, it’s not their responsibility to take care of me. Im scared…….So why is there any point in getting angry at each other. We should stand together and be supportive of each other. Sometimes a nice word or thought can make someones already heartbreaking day! Good Luck and God Bless to you all

Im from Australia and i get on this site to keep up with world news. My personal opinion of Ryan……. Well you really dont want to know. I just find his attitude on the matter down rite foul!!!!! You should be highly ashamed of yourself. So yes i agree with Mary and everyone else who gave him a serve. Well done!! I spose in times like these all you can do is stick together and try ride it out, things will get better. I find it better to be optimistic about it all rather than be miserable and pessimistic. I know its hard, I’m a single mum myself with another on the way, Trust me im scared bout money and how will i cope but constantly worrying about it will not help. All we can do is enjoy what we have whilst we still have it.

I don’t see why anyone thinks they’re entitled to a check. I’m grateful to at least have a job. Granted the tax cut only equals about $14 every 2 weeks in my pay but it’s better than nothing. In my opinion Obama needs to bring some jobs back from overseas, cut prices on food and gasoline, and encourage the opening of more business to create jobs for the people in the country willing to work. Free daycare to single mothers willing to work to provide for their kids…. not willing to work, quit complaining. Get lazy asses off welfare that’s eating taxpayer moneey and instead reinvest that cast to where it will more benefit the country as a whole. I say let the lazy be lazy and suffer. Maybe enough lazy people die off we won’t have this slump.

$ 250.00 will at least be something, But it won’t make up for NO cost of living to our SSI checks for the next two years. It seems as if they are throwing us a line then reeling it back in. In all actuality we will lose money in the long run.
