I be a thinking about this thread,
Nixon was to me a bad man, for some of his policy's all related to the Military.
6 weeks or so at Tripler Army Hospital up on the hill watching the planes landing at Hickman with the wounded and destroyed young men younger then I from this crazy war.
Kids with lost limbs, blind and deaf. Then there was me a dependent wife who was determined to bring my child into the world.
Both sides of the family demanded I abort, stubborn me said not even if it meant my own life.
Then the hammer came down on me, because Nixon had cut money for the health care of the wounded returning from the war the dependents had to follow Doctors orders or leave the Hospital.
I was released from the hospital, went home, called my mother-----Help I have 2 other kids and I this far from home cannot care for them. Mom sold her car, emptied out her savings to fly from Maine to Hawaii.
This child I had faced death to bring into the world was born 6 weeks early, grew and went on to go into the Army as an adult.
Now as I look back on my life I see that even Nixon never came up to being a bad guy as Obama has. Nixon impacted the lives of us personally but Obama, he is changing the lives of the future generations.
The peanut farmer I remember little of, he did nothing that directly effected my self and family, except that gas problem when we were ordered to travel to another military site and we had to call in the State Police to inform gas stations we were on military orders and exempt from the state laws on gas sales to who could buy gas and on what day.
I was not happy with Regan, those that left the military for any reason could not get unemployment benefits.
Clinton with his boyish ways later in life made me enough money to buy a home and help out the family.
Bush also gave us a leg up, from first to last, Jobs and a hope for the future.
Has been a run for the money all these last few years.
What Obama will leave us is no way in any way to help those who benefited from LBJ's great society. The worse decision in the history of America, no American has the right to any damn thing they do not work for themselves.
