Let's do better in this round of voting

Please give me a break. President Obama is a total loss. Was he ever on a Little League team? No. Was he ever a Boy Scout? No. Did he ever ride a pony? Doubt it. What has he done?

Here's a list. He lost a congressional election to Bobby Rush, was "present" more than 100 times in the Illinois Senate but then did not vote, got his big boost from Emil Jones into the U.S. Senate.

Quickly, Obama went on record saying that it was too soon (no experience) for him to run for president; then, for his two years in the Senate, he just campaigned for president. He out-hustled Hillary Clinton in Iowa and won, then won again four years later.

Guess what? He's still way over his head, and his dumb policies, his total lack of leadership and his disdain for the U.S. Constitution continue to hurt the USA.

Respectfully, Illinois voters, you can make much better picks on the ballot this November. This is your chance to make your kids' and grandkids' lives better. Show up, vote as you see it, and hope for much better results.

Mike Smith
