Of all of you people that blame President Obama for the mess this country is in financially, it just astounds me to think that you can blame him for what George Bush and the Republicans left for him to deal with.
And how can you Hawk fans stand by and see so many university workers out of work and getting laid off, especially in the very important medical field, while you pay a football coach and his group millions of dollars? Something is a bit screwed up.
The CEO for the insurance company that my bank uses is getting $57,000 an hour. Where is this nutty salary range ever going to stop?
The U.S. president does not get paid as much as the people I mentioned. No, your past president didn't either.
