Speak Out 10/24/13

Rush and Obama

Obama is saying that people shouldn't listen to radio hosts who are against him. I challenge Barack Obama to debate Rush Limbaugh on television or on radio. Obama would not win.

Gas prices

Well, they did it to us again. The gas stations went up 15 cents in one day. I've been watching the price of crude, and it hasn't gone up; as a matter of fact, it's gone down. Why do the gas prices go up 15 cents per gallon in one day? It will take months for it to get down to where it was.

Obamacare

Once again we were lied to. Obama said that we could keep our health insurance if we want to. But last week I got a letter from my provider saying that at the end of the year I would be canceled and would need to enroll in the Obamacare system.

Responsibility?

President Obama remains strong and important only because the entire federal government and half of the public defends his every action. Nothing is his responsibility. Nothing. This is the most unqualified "leader" of America, period.

Salary issues

Administrators in the Jackson School District are grossly overpaid compared to their teachers. They boast of how they can educate their students on the least amount of money, but their class sizes are huge and the children suffer for this. Yes, we are the size of some of the St Louis schools, but if the administrators feel they deserve that kind of money, so do the teachers in this area. After all, they are the people influencing our precious children. Salaries in our school are very unbalanced, folks.
