Today I spent a ginormous amount on gas...
I'm 40, unemployed, a "only high school grad.", and I drive a van that allows me to be "Johnny-on-the-spot" (for odd jobs), cuz' I can't afford a house w/a garage...
I know you got hired as a diplomat, and you're a career politician.. those are your strong skills.
So, instead of saying you can make jobs (which isn't in your job description)- can you help lower the price of gas, so, someone can hire me?
That would really help.
Thanx, M@tch...
PS- I think it would get you re-elected.
(the link after I wrote through the White House website...) not, that it really matters...

ReplyDeleteDear Friend:
Thank you for writing. President Obama has heard from many Americans concerning the economy and job creation, and he is working to help our Nation recover from this economic crisis and to rebuild an economy based on balance and fairness.
On September 8, 2011, President Obama presented the American Jobs Act to Congress. Its purpose is simple: put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans. Without adding a dime to the national deficit, this bill embraces bipartisan ideas to keep our police officers, firefighters, and teachers working, while ensuring jobs are available for our veterans and construction workers. It helps us renovate schools throughout our country, and cuts taxes for small businesses when they hire new employees. The American Jobs Act answers the urgent need to create jobs, and the President is asking Congress to pass the bill right away.
President Obama also unveiled a plan for economic growth and deficit reduction that takes a balanced approach to paying for the American Jobs Act while also paying down our debt over time. Based on the values of shared responsibility and shared sacrifice, the plan asks all Americans to do their part.
Watch the President’s speech and learn more about the American Jobs Act.
Find out more about the President’s focus on the economy.
Thank you, again, for writing. President Obama is grateful to hear from thousands of Americans each day, and we appreciate your taking the time to contact the White House.
Sincerely,
The White House

Wow- another letter from the White House: Good morning,
ReplyDeleteIt's part of my job to make sure President Obama gets to hear the voices and perspectives of people outside Washington – and lately, that's not been difficult.
Everywhere the President goes, he gets the same message: Americans just want folks in Washington to work together to build an economy that works for the middle class, not just the wealthiest – and is based on rewarding responsibility, hard work and fairness.
That's why the President has proposed the American Jobs Act, a set of bold but common-sense measures that will put up to 2 million Americans back to work and more money in the pockets of working Americans.
Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress keep blocking this bipartisan proposal, putting their party before our country.
We can't wait for Congress to act, so President Obama is moving ahead with executive actions to strengthen the economy, help middle class families and move this country forward.
On Monday, he was in Nevada to discuss concrete steps we're taking, like removing caps for deeply underwater borrowers and eliminating fees, so that homeowners can refinance their mortgages and save money. On Tuesday, he announced new initiatives that will help put veterans to work in community health centers. And today, he's proposing to offer immediate relief to college students by making it easier to manage their debt while they get on their feet.
These policies aren't a substitute for the American Jobs Act, but they will make a difference. And we don't intend to stop there.
The best ideas for growing this economy won't come from Washington – they'll come from Americans like you. So let me tell you about a new way to make your voice heard in our government.
More than 750,000 people have already used a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov called We the People to create and sign petitions calling on the Obama Administration to take action on a range of important issues. Learn more about We the People here:
The President's changes to the student loan program will make it easier for graduates to make their payments and avoid default.
It's also a great example of We the People at work.
In the past month, thousands of citizens signed a petition about student loans. These individuals rightly pointed out that the weight of this debt is preventing graduates all over the country from achieving their dreams.
It's a message received loud and clear and one that President Obama – who spent almost a decade paying off his own student loans – understands.
A new report shows that our investments in student financial aid have made a big difference for families, but too many students still struggle with debt. Today, the President announced clear actions to help young people who are doing everything right and living up to their responsibilities, but having a hard time making loan payments while the economy continues to recover.
So what else do you have? What's the next issue you think needs attention? Make sure your voice is heard in our government:

We can't wait to see what you have to say.
Sincerely,
David Plouffe
Senior Advisor to the President
