The 47% of Citizens President Obama Has Ignored

The 47% of The United States Population President Obama Has Ignored

Published on September 18, 2012

While the media pounces on Mitt Romney’s very real assessment that 47% of the population won’t vote for him because they believe there is no problem with dependence on government, let’s look at what they are really attempting to say. The media and the Democrats are essentially putting forward the argument that Mitt Romney will ignore half the population when governing and hold open contempt for them.

Now let’s consider the presidency of Barack Obama. After candidate Obama wrote off over half of our nation by saying we were just bitterly clinging to God and guns, he went on to hold open contempt for us while governing.

He ignored well over 47% of the population when we pleaded with him to stay out of health care.

He ignored a large percentage of our population when we pleaded with him not to take our nation further into debt to bail out the auto industry.

He ignored us by refusing to pass a budget for three years, shutting down the transparent government he promised to deliver.

He ignored us when we sent a new government to Washington during the 2010 elections, deciding instead not to find a way to substantially shrink the size of government.

He has ignored those of us asking not to be scanned and prodded at airports. He has ignored those of us asking to know what went wrong in the Fast and Furious gunrunning program, instead hiding behind executive privilege.

He has ignored Republicans as a whole by continually refusing to include our opposing voices when forming policy or charting out a direction for our nation.

At nearly every turn, Barack Obama has legislated and acted without consulting a very large percentage of our nation or paying attention to millions of Americans demanding the government stay out of their lives. He has shown contempt in word and deed for anyone who thinks differently than he does or opposes his policies. His representatives labeling us in the most outrageous and bitter terms.

So while the media races to tear down Mitt Romney for pointing out the obvious, they ignore the fact that this president has acted with hostility toward a large percentage of our population, choosing instead to spend our money, grow our debt and to push forward with new restrictions on our liberty.

Dear mr. Romney
My wife and I are retired. We live on our social
security. Each of us worked our entire lives, tax payers since our teens.

My wife taught and administrated in a Parochial School
for over 40 years, earning very little money compared to millions that you have
been blessed enough to make. In those years she enriched the lives of thousands
children. Imparting on them her Christian values and a love for each other that
for certain has made our country and indeed the world a better place.

For most of my life I was a nurseryman and landscaper. I
planted and grew thousands and thousands of trees. Most of these trees will
outlive you and I, some by a century. These trees have been beautifying parks,
neighborhood streets and homes. Trees I have grown have removed tons of CO 2
from the air we breathe and added tons of oxygen to our environment. I never
made much money compared to the millions you have been blessed to make but each
day I see trees that I will leave to make the earth a better place for a long,
long time.

At same time the economy crashed and wiped out much of
our modest savings, our parents, entering their 80’s where in failing
health. Both our fathers were highly
decorated WW II veterans. Both of our
mothers contributed to the war effort in military supplying companies during
the war. All four worked at what we all thought of as middle class jobs all of
their life, paying taxes, sending us to college. Of course whatever we had was
theirs as they needed it we happy to be in a position to help. Thus we were
unable to take advantage of the soaring stock market during President Obamas
term as many have been blessed to do.

We feel so very fortunate to have been born Americans,
our grandparents came to America to give us a better life than they had, all of
them came with nothing but hope, all of them signed their name with an X, Every
one of their great grandchildren have Masters and Doctorates from great
American Universities some from the Alma maters of Yours (Mr. Romney) and that
of President Obama. Long after my wife and I are gone this 3rd generation of
our family in America, will help to grow and shape a better world.

Mr. Romney, we are among the 47%, you denigrate but far
from being victims of our circumstances we are the shapers of them. Far from
being moochers we have given more to our country, and our community than we
could or would ever take. Mr. Romney

Mr. Romney, We are the 100% of America.
