So, what will be Obama's Legacy?

As I grew up my family did not have much, but my father made sure we have food and cloths to go to school. He quit school at the 8th grade, but he always was able to work because he could do most anything with his mind and hands. I have to say most of the time he worked in jobs he did not enjoy, but he provided the basics for us. It know it would have been hard for him to ask anyone for help and to his credit he never had too. However, there people who have fell on hard times because they have lost their job and can't find work. Evern the well educated have tasted the bitterness of being unemployed. For those people who have family to support, my heart goes out them, but to those who do not try, I have no empathy. I started another Thread on "50 years of Night in Eastern Kentucky" written by John Cheves which addresses this very thing. This is a well written account as to what has happened in Easter Kentucky up to this point. The future of Eastern Kentucky and of this nation does not look good at this point as far as I am concerned. Just look at how many robberies there has been so far this month here in Lexington, Kentucky.

I most certainly agree the people who are not employed for no fault of their own need a safety net, unfortunately people will abuse a good program. It is not a life style it is there to help those in need.
