Response from an avid Obama supporter

Every now and then we get a letter to the editor that thoroughly speaks for itself. This one came to us along with a photo from a cell phone which means that this person on public assistance has a posher phone than I do. 

(In response to “Who’s Going to Report on ‘President Obama’?” Stephanie Ramage, News & Views, Oct. 19) U cant stop us.ramage is on a rampage against Obama because he is black.GET OVER IT HONEY! HE WON!

     Somebody should slap the taste of evil out of Stephanie Ramage’s mouth. She is wicked. GOD hears and sees everything. She will get hers on judgment day. Anyhow, who can we trust to report on how people living on Georgia streets will survive? The same people who fought for our country, that are now homeless and mentally ill? Who will report the fact that thousands of women pile up at the local family and children services office for government assistance because the economy won’t grant them a job? 

     Who will report on the thousands of black men that are in prison serving a harsher sentence than white men who commit the same crime? Who will enforce ending recidivism? Who will raise wages that are equal to the cost of living? Who will help blacks get an equal education without having to pay for them the rest of their lives? Who will see that “Kelly White” makes the same as “Shareka’ Black” since they both graduated with the same degree? Who will report the day we blacks get our 400 acres and our mule? Ok then!

(In another message from the same person on the same day, sent via text message from the same phone): 

 I’m so ashamed of how Georgia is not looking at the bigger picture. I represent Georgia's below-middle-class. I make $10.76 an hour. I'm 29 years old with an associates degree in paralegal studies. I have not been able to find a career in my field. I live in low income housing. I'm not on welfare, however I do get food stamps and Medicaid. I’m not proud of that, and I want to be self sufficient. It’s very hard to survive off the money I make. I plan to go back to school in January 2009. I think many women and men are facing the same trials and tribulations I face. 

     I had the opportunity to watch each debate and it seemed as if Obama was speaking directly to me and everyone I know. He is God-sent. If people would not look at the color of his skin and listen to the content of his character; America would be a better country. Whatever Bush was doing did not help the Americans, he only gave us an idea of what’s in store if Palin\McCain wins the election. We the people have suffered enough.

To the avid Obama supporter. How much do you hate white people?! You're so bitter. As a white man when I was 29 (5 years ago), I was making $7.50/hr. unloading trucks at Sears (with a B.S.). I'm doing significantly better now through PERSERVEARANCE. Maybe your negative/bitter attitude's the problem. Maybe you don't interview well. Stop blaming "the man" for all your problems and look in the mirror. The great thing about capitalism is that if you want to succeed, you can. Ask Obama.

Yeah! And you don't even have to know how to spell to make it in America, right Steve?

Where did that B.S. come from, Mr. Pearservearanceianceer?

Or did you just mean BS?

One nut does not a movement make. If it did, we'd be talking about that girl who carved a backwards "B" in her face, or Sarah Palin.

And we would be concluding that everyone who supports McCain is an idiot?

Such is the reasoning behind posting the letter above, which, I suspect, Ms. Ramage typed up herself, laughing all the way.

Harris. Sorry about "perseverance". That's the first time in my life I've ever spelled that word. Obviously you're perfect. You sound bitter yourself. The "man" holding you down too? The point I was trying to make is to take responsibility for your life. It's easy to point fingers at everyone else for your problems. A real man or woman points the finger at themselves. There's people out there that would kill for $10.76 an hour. Btw, I'm voting for Obama. I hope Obama works for all of us, not just African-Americans. She seems to think that Obama will work for blacks to make their lives better and no one else. AGAIN, the great thing about this country is that if you want to succeed, you can.
