Poor Kentucky has no stomach for Obama

[SpartanDem]

Jackson (United States) (AFP) - Jim Feltner's days are empty. He is a poor man in the poorest county in the United States and lives off government aid.

But the Kentucky resident has nothing but scorn for the head of that government, President Barack Obama, who has made the fight against economic inequality one of his battle cries.

Feltner sits in a plastic chair outside his ramshackle mobile home, surrounded by rusty cars and car parts. He has no television.

People around here, he says, are "just surviving, barely. I know, because I'm one of them."

A victim of two heart attacks, he lives off disability checks, and $105 a month in government food stamps.

Feltner voted for a previous Democratic president, Bill Clinton, but now says: "I will vote for anybody against Obama.

As if we need more proof that the GOP's base is nothing than ignorant rednecks too stupid to vote in their own self interest.

1. if you deny those food stamps and disability checks from the government then I might

even believe your hatred for the government. So you're full of dodo

2. someone needs to tell this idiot

that Obama won't be running again.

Oh, I'm sure the color of Obama's skin has NOTHING to do with his hatred of the President.

3. "I will vote for anybody against Obama.

We all are not voting for Obama. He is done politically. He can't run again. Since he voted for Bill Clinton, he may vote for Hillary Clinton. He must think that Obama can run again. He may be confused. It seems like he is Democrat, but blames Obama for the last 6 years even though he has made things better. Everyone is so impatient. The next administration is when we will see the good Obama has done. The current President doesn't effect current economic situations. They put into place an economic policy and the NEXT administration benefits from it.
