This is powerful. With all that we have heard about this administration, leave it to a mom to tell it like it is.

    I have zero love for Obama, but this letter is pointless. No President in my lifetime (going back to Truman) could answer "yes" to any of those have-you-ever-been-poor questions. Obama would say, and honestly believe, that his policies help people like her, while his opponents would reduce her to dumpster-diving and begging on the streets for aspirin to treat her child's broken leg.

      The questions are rhetorical. She is trying to get him to understand that he and his policies are crushing the very people they are supposed to help.

        He does help. He helps the auto industry, banks, big business and of course the billionaires who run them (I remember the bailouts). He's on his own agenda and that doesn't include the citizens of this nation. 'Social America!".

      Lyndon Johnson was quite poor growing up. Harry Truman came from a very modest background. Michelle Obama talked about how tight money was for her and Barack after college. They end up rich but didn't all start that way. I think she has a right to ask.
