Voters Think Obama Is Trying To Take Their Social Security, Medicare and Retirement.

96. Oh, thank you for your kind words! I am so honored that you feel this way. I did not

think you were being disrespectful, I just disagreed. And thank you for your thoughtful explanation of your analysis of this situation. I can see where you are coming from. Yes, we do need to "cry from the rafters." But we don't. I wish we did and I wish we talked about the financial corruption of the system (which is nothing new in America). That we don't has been a constant cry from me since my anti-Vietnam War days as a mother of a young son. And these many years later, there is nothing more discouraging than hearing your analysis, which I have heard and heard.

At some point the people have had enough. I never thought I would see it, but now I am not so sure. This is why I seek refuge in art. It gives me a quiet place where I can ask questions and hope to get answers that I can use to sleep at night.

None of this answers your questions, I know. Barack Obama has a beating heart. I just have to wonder but to hope that he understands, in the bleak of night, what it is he is doing...
