The Councilwoman is black. I’m wondering how many of the messages she gets every day from people looking from handouts are also black. Black people voted overwhelmingly for That Person, forgetting that you gets what you pays for.

The Councilwoman and her constituents voted for Obama because they *did* expect him to figure out a way to pay their mortgages and fill their gas tanks for free. And you know damned well that if he can come up with a plan to steal from the (white) rich and give it to them – for free — they’ll be in the streets tomorrow morning cheering him on.

I just don’t understand why people seem to think they are somehow ENTITLED to have their phone and heating bills paid. It would be nice in a utopian paradise of unicorns and universal love that no one ever had to get up in the morning and go to work and could still count on food, heat, transportation and entertainment but when or where has that *ever* happened in the history of humanity?

If Obama ever gets it together to start a new FDR-type project of paving the country’s roads and dam-building, I wonder how many of the people leaving the Councilwoman messages to pay their bills for them will consent to go out into the hot sunshine and do *that* sort of work for the government.
