A couple of weeks ago, the media in Detroit were filming people showing up at Cobo Hall to stand in line for assistance with their energy bills. One woman gave a keen insight to why all these people showed up on a typical fall day in Detroit. This is Obama money, you know the money he has in his stash and that's why we voted him into office. Obviously the woman must have confused Obama with another politician, William J "cold cash" Jefferson who actually had some money stashed in his freezer. They must believe that all Democrats have freezers filled with cash and Obama is the one "nice" Democrat who is going to share. They are right on one count. It wouldn't be a surprise to know that Democrats are hiding their "cold cash" in many unique places. After all there are a couple of tax evaders in the White House right now. But, and here is the important point, it is doubtful that any one of the Democrats are willing to share their pile of dough. They will stick their fingers into other people's wallet to help the needy.
The media's coverage of the line at Cobo was typical. Bland questions, poor victims and isn't this a shame to see in this day and age. Yes, it is a shame. It's a shame that healthy able body people are not working. It is a shame that when people are finally able to pay the current energy bill, the next one may be higher due to new regulations from cap and trade. It is a shame that no one is questioning what happens when Obama decides he has no more money to throw around. It is obvious that Detroit is Obama's kind of town. He is looking for citizens who are dependent on the government for everything. Here, thanks to the likes of Conyers and Kilpatrick, he has found a willing group to go along with this plan. Wait for the Obama Energy Bill Lottery to come to your town. It will be electrifying.
When will the country come to the point to realize that Obama money is the equivalent to Monopoly money. It isn't worth the paper it is printed on. Ask China, they are getting a little upset with the way Obama is handling the economy and driving the dollar down. As a state, Michigan has 15.3 % unemployment, with Detroit leading the pack with the highest unemployment among Michigan cities. It is at a staggering 17% as of August 2009. Seems logical that Obama money is not the solution to the problem. If Detroit politicians were smart, they would see that the real solution is JOBS. It causes one to stop and think, would the same people lining up for Obama money to pay their electric bills be willing to stand in line for a job? Or have things really gotten so bad that they have given up on being self-sufficient and decided it's better to let someone else take care of them?
It is disturbing to see that Detroit has been chosen to be a test pilot for handouts. Once as a proud city that put America on wheels and pride in becoming the best blue collar city in America. Good paychecks, good homes and a good life. Immigrants from all over the world came to the city to find their American Dream. Many found it and in return gave so much more back to the city. Detroit is now reduced to a welfare city where everyone wants their own entitlements from the government. Welfare checks, run down homes, and broken dreams are part of Detroit's bleak picture. Where has the pride in Detroit gone? For the citizens of Detroit, and all of Michigan, it far better for them to want "My Money" and be independent. Free to buy the whatever the heart desires or to save for the golden years. "Obama Money" can't promise a golden future. How sad that Detroit has given up on themselves and their future.
