(3,182 posts)For 6 long years, I've patiently hung on, juggling bills to pay for medication, struggling and worrying if they're going to shut off the power or the heat this month because I needed meds I could cut in half to make them last 2 months instead of one.
When Obama got the nomination I believed Yes, We Can.
I truly believed our first black President would be one of our best ever Presidents.
I was filled with hope and pride.
But, 6 years later, I'm just plain out of hope. I'm tired of struggling with only hope to get me through another month. I'm tired of watching my daughter work her ass off to graduate a year early from HS as class valedictorian to watch her get a job paying $7.25/hr. where they lie to her about Obamacare.
I'm tired. I'm out of hope. I'm tired of waiting my turn which never comes. I'm still waiting for ANYthing good to come to those of us who have patiently supported this man while he bails out Wall Street and we get screwed more every day. I'm finished watching Democrats make political theater out of 1.2 million unemployed workers so they have an issue to run on in November.
I'm just flat out of hope.
No. We. Can't.
