SPEAKOUT

Hail to the king

I know Obama wants to use the executive decree for all the things he thinks the United States needs. But if he does it, then we need to declare him the king and then we need to get rid of him.

Passing the buck

Barack Obama blows my mind. He is constantly flying around the country and talking about mean old Republicans and how everybody is against him. I can't believe he doesn't ever accept responsibility for the things that have gone wrong. It's always somebody else's fault or he didn't no about it. I hope in 2016, we can get someone who cares about our country, our debt, our children and our future.

Joined but not joined

I saw something on the news this morning that just aggravated the fire out of me. I didn't quite understand it but it was something about the soldiers and higher-ups getting money for promotions and stuff. And the people that are getting paid to rejoin the army and stuff, they'd signed up a bunch and they didn't really join but they still got their money. This one old woman got up in Congress and said she really didn't understand how they could cost taxpayers so much money with their fraud and stuff. Well crap, the government don't worry about how much money they cost the taxpayers with their fraud and crap. If they can do it, why are they worrying about the soldiers doing it? They are taking away everything the veterans have anyway. It's ridiculous. They need to stop some of their crap and worry about the veterans more.

Steve's the man

I just want to do a shout out to the stranger who helped us Sunday afternoon one mile from the Sikeston exit. His name was Steve and he drove a F150 pickup truck. My family and I were traveling home to Illinois from New Orleans from a short family vacation when I lost control of my Dodge Dakota and ended up backwards in the ditch. We called 911 and were given a number to call for a tow truck. Before we could do so, here backing up in the emergency lane toward us comes a pickup truck. He stopped and offered to pull us out back onto the emergency lane. He noticed right away that the impact coming off the road had torn my tire off the rim so he then proceeded to change our tire too. I am so thankful this man came along when he did. He saved us time, money and frustration being so far from home in such terrible weather. Interestingly, as we drove off I saw another car off the road ahead. We watched in the rearview mirror as our hero "Steve" was pulling over to once again offer assistance. Thanks again Steve. You're awesome!
