Showing Original Post only (View all)I Just REAMED My Brother In Law [View all]
My brother in law called to basically tell my wife that I am a LAZY person because I lost my job because my ex employer who laid me off 3 weeks could not pay its bills or its employees.... then he could not help himself and invoked President Obama in to the conversation and said.. YOU CAN THANK HIM FOR YOUR LAY OFF.
I grabbed the phone out of my wifes hands and said "how is it Obamas fault my ex company couldnt handle it financial affairs responsibly?...ahhhhhh ahhhhha ahhaaa is all he could say.
Then he launches into a bunch of BLATHER about politics and how bad things are so I asked him the following..
Who is the President of The US
Name one US Senator from Washington State
Who is your Congressman
Name a State House Member
Who is the Mayor of your town
name 2 city councilpersons
name 1 school board member
What are 2 issues that confront your town right now.
He could only answer me with... President Obama
I told him to stop bitchin and get involved that he is a part of the problem not the solution..
