Reality shock

By Tiffeny Owens
The Decatur Daily

Amanda Wheless was supposed to be teaching fourth-graders fractions, not whipping up mocha lattes and frappuccinos at Starbucks four years after college graduation. The world didn't seem to care … More »

Sadly, this is life in Obamaville for this young lady and many other college graduates.

She graduated in 2006...Obama isn't to blame for everything William.

I'm reasonably sure Barry has been POTUS since the election of 2008....... and isn't to be blamed for anything,S !

What a GREAT attitude this young lady has! (Unlike some of those who use this forum for negativity.) The American Dream has always been the OPPORTUNITY to work hard and pursue one's dreams for a better life. Although it may not be exactly as planned, this young woman has/is still achieving it one step at a time!

Ms. Wheless is exactly who we want teaching our youth.

People have no concept of just how bad obamacare has hurt the economy and kept it from recovering. Employers are so unsure of how much it will cost them, this is economics 101 stuff. I believe we are teetering on the preface as a country financially, all people are aware of is the crap reality shows on T.V. and getting by till the next week. This morning I was behind a welfare queen with TWO SHOPPING CARTS FULL of junk food, cokes and diabetes inducing garbage, watching her pay with her gubmint card depressed me. Bye.I gotta go back to work to cover her lazy arse.

Hold on a minute Bill. Maybe we can carpool so we have more money to support those that CHOOSE not to work.

How has Obamacare impacted school employment?

I Like What She Said About Toung People Had Everything Handed To Them Growing Up, And That It Is NOT That Way, When They Are Grown Up And Have To Face Reality, Parents Should Learn From Theis And NOT Hand Them Everything

Excellent attitude!

You all missed the point! College education in America is a bad joke. Instead of preparing the next generation of leaders for the jobs of tomorrow, the college education “industry” has become a giant money making scam.

When Bush was in office, the Dems blamed him for everything. Well the shoe is on the other foot. So yes, everything is Obama's fault. If the Dems do not like that then maybe they need to learn to be more objective in their criticism. By the way, EXCELLENT attitude by this young lady. Patience will eventuallly pay off for her.

William - Just so you know 2006 was two years before 2008. And, I didn't suggest that our President is perfect. Hater.
