Jon’s VU! What was that?

If Hillary Clinton runs against Obama would you vote for her?
Next, if she were to win could she nominate her husband as vice-president?
My son says she can’t because if something happened to her he would be
president for the third term.
I do not have the resources to find the answers, but I will ask some of my
friends who voted for him.
Maybe my editor would answer these questions if you were interested…
The Obamanable snow man isn’t very popular among the old folks that I listen
to, cutting food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare and wanting to cut social security!
Tell me little bird, what did the old folks do to incur the wrath of the
Obamanator?
Some Democrat was carrying a sign in congress asking the old folks to "hurry up
and die!!"
I don’t know about you, but even at 76 years old, I will fight for every year,
month and day of my life.
I enjoy bringing a smile to my reader’s faces, but every now and then I hear
something so sad it breaks my heart.
I take some painful treatments three days a week. I take these treatments
because if I quit I will die in a short time.
A number of people taking these painful treatments keep hearing bad things from
government and state agencies who make them seem like freeloaders instead of old
folks who worked their whole lives to make this country great.
I started paying social security at 11-years-old. If you care I worked for a
newspaper in Dallas as a mail clerk.
That is a long time to pay into my SS!
I just lost a friend who just quit taking his treatments. I hope I never get to
that point.
I, like others at my clinic feel like the cuts for the elderly who worked so
long will finally get all of us!!
Each of my friends has a thing that keeps them alive. A garden, sewing for
children, helping with problems in the family.
Most of us have seen that and done that! We know how to solve problems because
things that happen to the young folks happened to me.
Sometimes I just enjoy being a sounding board for great-grandchildren, who
sadly, I will never meet.
Having a good talk with a grandson, who says "goodbye Grandpa and I love you!"
This column and questions like the ones at the front of this column keep some of
us wanting to wake up another day and keep asking, how will you vote on a
congressmen who smiles at you and says "yes, I voted on the new law and no, I
didn’t read it, I have people who do that. Now be sure to vote for me!!"
Yes, gentle reader, l live on just to see how long uninformed voters will keep
electing enemy politicians.
This is not everyone’s vu, but it keeps me alive. And it’s JON’S VU!!
