Remember the hardships of your youth?

Channel your inner child Mr Prez and I bet you'll reverse the disasterous course of your Presidency.

Have you forgotten what hardships are all about?

If only you could remember.

1. Next time, vote for money
FDR didn't need to suck up to the rich -- he was one of them.

2. Remember the story of her dying in the hospital while arguing w/ the insurance co.?n
That sure convinced me that he got it. I want to believe he does and that his intentions are good, but I can't read his mind, and that does not even matter in the final analysis. All we can really judge him by are his actions.

6. I'm guessing your not among those experiencing economic hardship.
Walk a mile in the shoes of someone who is.

4. His past is comfortably behind him.
During the campaign there was an interview where Obama referred to a car he drove when he and Michelle were dating. There was a hole in the floor and they laughed about it. That made me think that he really knew what it was like to be a regular person, if he drove a piece of junk, even after graduate school.

I guess now its just a funny story, but its the way life is for millions of Americans.
