Burlington Iowa Letters to Falcon West Burlington

Obama swimming in debt

Falcon:
 How is it possible that Obama thinks he can borrow another $1 Trillion Dollars and it wouldn’t raise the debt?  What is wrong with this man sitting in the White House who puts politics first and the American people last, could it be his massive ego getting in the way of leadership and common sense?
 His narcissism is threatening the future of our children and grandchildren while his stooge Harry Reid blocks every attempt by the House to fund many government entities Obama shut down with the exception of his special interest groups.
 His administration has now shut down the funeral benefits of dead soldiers sent home from Afghanastan all for his ego and his Chicago thuggery attitude.
 A.S.
