Our economy is f*cked and the job market is f*cked. And I'm supposed to give a sh!t about Iraq. When he was gassing the kurds back then we didn't do sh!t, we didn't give a sh!t back then but now all of sudden we have to liberate the Iraqi people. And now some umpteen years later you people are acting like he just did it yesterday. Get the f*ck outta here with that bullsh!t. This war is as much about him gassing his own folks or even having wmds as much as it's about me having gas.

That's just the problem with some folks, they want the president to solve their problems. Well, if you check the constitution, you'll find that NONE of those issues you mentioned are the job of the president.

THEY SHOULD BE HANDLED LOCALLY, BY CITIES OR STATES

I feel better now.

The president's number one job is national security, and that is the problem he is working on.

So get in touch with your local folks and ask them what they are doing about jobs, education, and encouraging citizens to save for their own retirements.

It is not the job of the federal government to hand out checks to the people.

It IS the job of the federal government to provide a national defense, implement foreign policy, and provide defense of the constitution.

Everything else, the federal government should get out of today.
