BARACK OBAMA: professing change

"Down at the bottom are the poor.
Above them is the middle class.
Then those who can afford to say,
'The rest of you can kiss my ass.'
The upper class is next to God.
That is the way it's always been.
I know I promised you real change
But changing that would be a sin.
There is a change I'll try to make.
The middle class I'll reinforce
So those of us who ride on it
Won't kill this economic horse.
I also plan to help the poor
So they can better scoop horse shit.
I'll tell them to "the Dream" aspire
Though they can have no part of it.
I know our Declaration says
We're equal in the sight of God;
But in my view there 'd be no life
Had we no one on whom to trod.
And so fellow Americans
Joe will not give the common ground
Where 'life' and 'liberty' and the
'Pursuit of happiness' are found."

Barack Obama: my hope
Barack Obama: inauguration day

Barack Obama: his Gulf oil war

If we don't agree with Barack Obama We are considered nonamericans. He is spending money he doesn't have and can't get. He is willing to use lack of money to kill elderly individuals, those over sixty-five, wont be able to get medical care; words out of his own mouth. Plus he is keeping every persons name and adress who disagrees with him as supposed criminals.

I think if you don't agree with Barack Obama you are called a Republican or perhaps an Independent. If you are a Democrat or perhaps an Independent and don't agree with him, then I think you are considered a "nonamerican". More importantly, because we can't agree with each other we should be considered fools for ultimately our disagreement will be the end of us.
Barack Obama is spending money he can apparently still borrow but he is not using a "lack of money to kill elderly individuals." If Americans of any age are dying for lack of health care it is because collectively the American people cannot agree they are their "brother's keeper".
If Barack Obama is keeping track of people who disagree with him I will gladly send him my web address because I don't agree with his plan to perpetuate the division of humanity into the rich, "the middle class" and "the poor". Doug.E.Barr
I just want to give you a compliment. I love reading your writing. You have written a large number of poems, that have given me much food for thought and with that you inspire me regarding writing more poetry, myself and painting more to feel my emotions, when I paint in an abstract way.
Thank you for your talent.

I haven't read any of your writings for sometime but do agree with these. Keep writing as I know people enjoy them although you may not hear from them all.
Thanks, Ruby Adams
