Thanks A Lot

[TemplarKormac]

You know things are getting rough when a single mother tears into the president for lying to the American people about keeping their insurance. Yolanda (Lana) Vestal of Palmer, Texas did just that, and ripped Obama for numerous transgressions against her and the American people on various issues, including Obamacare.

Here is her letter, of what turned out to be nothing little more than a Facebook rant, wound up being shared 63,000 times before all was said and done:

Dear President Obama,

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you have done and are doing. You see I am a single Mom located in the very small town of Palmer, Texas. I live in a small rental house with my two children. I drive an older car that I pray daily runs just a little longer. I work at a mediocre job bringing home a much lower paycheck than you or your wife could even imagine living on. I have a lot of concerns about the new “Obamacare” along with the taxes being forced on us Americans and debts you are adding to our country. I have a few questions for you Mr. President.

Have you ever struggled to pay your bills? I have.

Have you ever sat and watched your children eat and you eat what was left on their plates when they were done, because there wasn’t enough for you to eat to? I have.

Have you ever had to rob Peter to pay Paul, and it still not be enough? I have.

Have you ever been so sick that you needed to see a doctor and get medicine, but had no health insurance because it was too expensive? I have.

Have you ever had to tell your children no, when they asked for something they needed? I have.

Have you ever patched holes in pants, glued shoes, replaced zippers, because it was cheaper than buying new? I have.

Have you ever had to put an item or two back at the grocery store, because you didn’t have enough money? I have.

Have you ever cried yourself to sleep, because you had no clue how you were going to make ends meet? I have.

My questions could go on and on. I don’t believe you have a clue what Americans are actually going through and honestly, I don’t believe you care. Not everyone lives extravagantly. While your family takes expensive trips that cost more than most of us make in two-four years, there are so many of us that suffer. Yet, you are doing all you can to add to the suffering. I think you are a very selfish and cold hearted man, who does not care what is best for the people he was elected by (not by me) to represent, but more so out for the glory of your name attached to history. So thank you Mr. President, thank you for pushing those of us that are barely staying afloat completely under water and driving America into the ground. You have made your mark in history, as the absolute worst and most hated president of the United States. God have mercy on your soul!

Sincerely,

Yolanda Vestal

Average American

Texas single mom?s ?thanks a lot? letter to Obama goes viral - BizPac Review

So basically no one has read it. And I doubt Obama ever will.

You read it, so that quip is now a lie. 63,000 others did as well. So once again your quip is a lie. Do you have something productive to say?

Yep. Perhaps this is simply the rallying cry for all of those who have been led astray by this administration. Hell hath no fury like a patriot scorned.

Too bad for her troubles; but something had to be done about health insurance in this country. And anyway, she failed to convince me that any of her woes are due to the ACA. She does live in TX, however; so, she can probably thank Gov Perry for some of it. Like her low-paying job - Perry loves low-paying jobs. And her lack of access to affordable health ins. If Perry would expand Medicaid in his state, the fed gov't would pay for the entire expansion at first and then 90% after (all part of the ACA); then people like Yolanda - who live in states with high percentages of poor - would have better access to affordable health ins. So, when is her letter to Perry coming out?

Return letter from the president -

Dear lady from small town in Texas,

Thank you for your heart felt letter concerning the Affordable Care Act and the points that you made in it with regards to your struggles as a single parent.

Now, with that being said; dude, what the fuck is wrong with you???

Sweet mother of Christ almighty - you cannot be serious?!?

I DON'T have enough shit to deal with, especially with the stupid Obamacare (whatever the hell Obamacare means) website going postal on me and ruining every ounce of credibility I ever had!!!

"Have you ever sat and watched your children eat and you eat what was left on their plates when they were done, because there wasn’t enough for you to eat to? I have."

Awesome sauce! You, like most other pain in the ass blowhards from Palmer, Texas could probably stand to lose a few (read 50 or 60) lbs, so that might actually be a good thing! I would also suggest quitting smoking, lay off the pain meds and taking an actual bath on occasion - one that involves not having your cloths on in some truck stop.

"Did I ever cry myself to sleep?" Seriously, get a grip, dumb-ass!!! Next time, don't sleep with some idiot just out of prison and watch how much booze you guzzle on new years - WTF does that have to do with me?

"My questions could go on and on...." That's totally fucking awesome that they did not - I've got other stuff to do that DOES NOT involve your bitch-fest of letter. Now, please do yourself a favour and jump in the Gulf of Mexico.

"The absolute worst and most hated president of the United States, eh???" Really? Worse than William Henry Harrison, the guy who died from pneumonia one month into his term??? That bad, all because my website sucks ass?

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go try to ruin America and other Marxist, commie crap that you A-holes keep saying that I do so well!

Later, ass-wipe!

Sincerely,
President Barrack "Hussein" Obumbler.

Something had to be done about health insurance in this country huh? If I recall, it was better before you butchered it with the ACA. You can't blame Governor Perry for something that Obama introduced, passed and signed into law. Such an ill informed synopsis on your end. You don't give a damn about poor people. You act as if you can make all of their choices for them, including healthcare. Not only have you failed to do so, you have encouraged apathy and dependence instead of self interest and independence. Now it will backlash on you with unmitigated fury.

And for the upteenth time, how is paying 41% more in premiums going to make healthcare more 'affordable' for her? So, when are you going to quit being a parrot and acknowledge reality?

obama wouldn't read it even if he knew it existed that's because the dictator doesn't give a shit. his supporters are nothing but useful tools.

Maybe she needs to complain to her governor, who refuses to set up an insurance exchange that she could benefit from...

If no one ever read it, how did WE end up with it? How did anyone else get hold of it?

Sounds like she never liked the man. Was it ever even sent, or just "magically" appeared at some wing-nut blog site?

Millions of Americans are asspoundingly stupid and vote against their own economic interests?

Yup, that's true.

what exactly has obama done different than bush but made things worse

First, he's got the rich paying their fair share.

Secondly, the unemployment situation has improved, health care has improved, we are out of Iraq, Bin Laden is DEAD (and so are a lot of other terrorists) FEMA is being run by professionals again...

I could go on, but all you see is a black guy in the white house and your head steams.

Most of what happened under Bush's watch was not his fault, fiscally anyway.

He had to deal with quite a bit, it was unfortunate that we even went to war at all, that was his biggest blunder. Once we turned to drone strikes and opps, we saved a ton of money and we were able to actually target the bad guys.

Bush did the right thing in the end and did what he had to do to save the economy.

WoW !! the second biggest pile of bullshit i ever read


"a black guy in the white house".., he ain't black, he is a fucking mulatto who hates his white side more than he loves his black side

 

[JoeB131]

"Mulatto"...

Seriously, you are using that word? Does anyone still use that word in the 21st century?

1) What is ill-informed about it? Are you disputing that TX Gov Perry has refused to set up exchanges and expand Medicaid - both of which would benefit poor people like Yolanda?

2)The ACA is growing in popularity since the GOP's gov't shutdown. So much for that "unmitigated fury"

3) I have acknowledged reality. Perry refuses to set up exchanges and expand Medicaid. Yolanda is suffering from it. When are you going to acknowledge reality, White Knight?
