THE HYPOCRISY OF IT ALL

President Barack Obama came into the White House with enormous challenges that most American presidents have not had to deal with. Our banks were on the brink of crashing, the health care system was still a laughing joke to our neighboring countries; many, many, many Americans were losing their homes, unemployment rates were in constant comparison of the great depression, and to top it off the US of A was fighting two wars.

All five of these entities represent all Americans, in one shape, size, or form; no one has been able to escape the pressures of a country in complete and utter turmoil.

It is all over the news that our government is not handling these challenges well at all. The world knows that our government is as divided as North and South Korea. How can our government be one, but so divided? Now to the good stuff.. who is suffering more due to the divide? The sufferers are the 303,872,743 people living in the United States.

However, we should subtract 531, from that number, as those are the Congressmen and Congresswomen that are running our country into the ground financially, morally, ethically, and pitifully.

All of them have homes, excellent health insurance, without the threat of ever being denied because of a pre-existing condition, and jobs, unlike many of the people that they are paid to represent.

This divide will and has cost the rich, the poor, the Republicans, the Democrats, the Conservatives, the Tea Party Group, and the neutral. This divide is inescapable and will continue to be extremely costly and shameful, if we do not come together and act as 'one nation under God.’

Although, many Americans can probably speak intelligently about all the problems we are facing, I have one problem that is banging at my door, today. It is the mortgage crisis. I like many other Americans have found myself unemployed, with a mortgage to pay. My home was affordable, still is affordable, and I find the help to be a slow and painful process, held up by the banks.

(Note to President)

Mr. President, General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) did not approve me for the Modification Loan Program, although my income is almost 4 times my mortgage payment. I didn't ask for a reduction in my payment or my fixed interest rate to be lowered, as they are both affordable. I am working and I am employable. What happened sir?

I have a Masters degree in Health Care Management, go figure, and have been employed, until losing my job January 2009,
