Biggest damage Obama did to this country was show that you could survive pretty nicely being unemployed, and convince everyone that they're a victim, and that all their problems are caused by someone else.


Yep. The recession and obama ruined a lot of good men. Masonry trade is going through the same mess. Former masons have learned to get by working part time, tax free gigs. Most are still driving the same ol 86 Ford pick up and living in Mama’s house. You can’t put enough bait on the hook to get them to take a masonry job now. Very sad! These same guys used to be rugged, tough, hard working dudes. No more.


I agree. Even the guys that work hard, only work hard, almost nobody takes pride in their work anymore. To get a decent guy, you have to pay top dollar and even then they act like they are God's gift. Nobody is humble and hard working anymore.


I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!
