How will Obama change the world If the world isn't willing to change?

I see where you are coming from but what about the people that can't afford to go back to school or don't have money to start their own business. The ones that can't get a loan because of bad credit caused by an ex spouse. The one's that can't afford childcare for their 2 children. The one's that had kids because they wanted them, that aren't using them for money from the state. The one's that are not having more kids. The one's that are below poverty level that are working or can't work due to other circumstances. The one's that do want to work but can't due to other circumstances. I want and wish and can't have. I get help from the state. I was working 40 hours a week, as was my fiance, and my daughter called the babysitter mommy. She cried when I would go to pick her up. She hardly knew me because I was never around because of work. I was making close to $11.00 an hour and could barely pay for the gas to take her to and from the sitter. I could barely pay for daycare. I couldn't pay my health insurance premiums. I couldn't afford food because of the rising prices. In my area, a lot of people are being laid off due to lack of sales, not because of laziness. I do what work I can do online so that I can stay home and care for my kids. To make sure they are taken care of properly and so that they know that they are loved by their parents. I used to have the same mentallity as you and a lot of others about stay at home moms, but now I know why it happens. You don't have children so that other people can raise them, you have them so that you can raise them. I've worked since I was 15 years old and paid my taxes (I'm almost 34 now), I see nothing wrong with taking some time off from work to care for my children. I paid my taxes and I feel I am entitled to some of that state assistance if I need it, I helped contribute to it for almost 20 years. I am a great parent and so is my fiance. We are broke and want and wish but our girls and his son are happy and healthy, they know they are loved and they are growing into mature responsible people because of us, not some stranger, babysitter, daycare provider...That's more important then being rich...We are the richest people I know and that's because of our family not our money. That's just my opinion. I also feel that Obama will help where he can. You are right, he can't help those that don't want the help. He can help those of us that are doing everything we can to survive but still can't make it. I could go back to work and lose the important time with my kids. I could go back to work and have all my money go to a babysitter. I could go back to work and have every penny go to gas and over priced food. I could go back to work for my paycheck to go to health insurance premiums for insurance that doesn't cover anything anyway. I still won't be able to pay my bills but hey, why not lose out on...my life and my kids lives.

i think what he needs to do is to play like robin hood and take from the rich and give to poor. Give more for education that way it would give the kids a more of a drive to thrive in life then to quit school and get pregnantor other things the kids are doing thats not getting them an education

I have some serious doubts about what, if any, change 0bama will bring but that being a seperate issue...you are right. There are ppl that simply don't want to do any better for themselves. They are content to sit back and let the state pay their way. I know a woman who had 8 children in 9 years, one every year...why? Because every time she had one she got more foodstamps, more wic, more money. It's crazy and yet there's nothing that can be done. She can also use those kids as an excuse to not work even when she's not pregnant b/c what daycare is going to watch all 8 kids and to spread them out is even more of a nightmare...oh, she would get free daycare if she could find someone to watch them. Alot of ppl tend to blame everyone else b/c they don't have more money, a bigger house, a better job, a newer car or whatever else but the truth is that individual is the only one that can change what they do or don't have. I would be more supporting of individual change then 0bama's great plan of change...with a politician change isn't always a good thing. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

Obama can fix it easy. He will take money from rich folks and give to poor folks. Then they don't have to work. Problem solved.
