Dear Editor,
I was at an event in Missoula last week. We wonder why our country is in trouble. I talked to a person who admitted being a communist, and proud of it? Another person said, “The government needs to spend more money.” I asked him where he thought they were going to get it, and he said, “They have it.” What planet has he been living on? Then, I watched our President’s speech about the debt ceiling talks. I cannot believe the American public is falling for these scare tactics. Threatening seniors that they won’t get their Medicare or Social Security checks? Mr. Obama, you should be ashamed of yourself. The money is there for (hate to use the word) entitlements. Call Senator Tester, and ask him why your President is lying to you. I have never in my 62 years watched a president address the nation, and act like a spoiled brat that isn’t getting his way. I’m embarrassed! We need a President that is for the people, who will lift us up, who will understand how to run the business of our nation, who will be proud of the United States of America.
