Do your homework

Dear Editor:

The three letters to the editor in the Sept. 26 DCI issue pretty much summed up which way our country is going and I thank them for voicing their opinion. $16 trillion in debt, over 8% unemployment, Obamacare, closed coal-power plant, regulation squeezing the life out of small businesses and the alienation of Israel, our strongest Middle East ally to name a few.

It is hard for me to believe that people still think Obama is doing a good job. I truly feel 50% of this country is uniformed; they must be if they get their info from TV shows, like the View or Letterman. It is sad.

As someone from the Chicagoland area I am very familiar with the crooked politics that generates from Cook County. Believe me, Obama is a perfect fit. Government rules, not the people. Wake up citizens! Our politicians are employed by us. If we have someone working for us that doesn't do a good job, they are fired, or nicer term, let go. Obama has done a terrible job. No matter what party you are affiliated with you have to see what is happening to OUR country. You want socialism, and then go live somewhere else where your taxes will be 80% of your salary. That is the route Obama is taking our country.

We need an experienced person who will correct the mistakes from the last 3.5 years and beyond and not create more. Romney has the experience and brought with him an economist, Ryan. A successful business person and an economist. Their philosophy is to empower people. They are a much better team than Obama and Biden, who spend and enable.

Please do you homework — are you really better off than you were 3.5 years ago? Look at the stats, I doubt it.
