Ode To President Obama
Ode To President Obama JOBS!!! Where are they? You promised to create more jobs! You promised to create road building jobs as did your hero FDR! Millions of Americans need work. So, where are the jobs? You promised. Instead, you tell people to go back to school or to retrain. For what? There are no jobs!!! We voted for you because you promised “change.” Well it has changed, but NOT in a more positive way for the majority. Unemployment is spreading! So, where are the jobs? You promised us. So, where are the jobs? Violence is escalating while state and local governments have to cut police and firemen. So, where are the jobs? You promised. Instead, I see you on talk shows and at the MLB All-Star game, laughing it up with Tim McCarver, et. al. So, where are the jobs? You promised. Americans still are hurting. You promised change. It is changing, but not for the better. So, where are the jobs? You promised!!!
