Get yer damn feet off’n my furniture, Mr. President!

1. I wanted to title this “White Black Trash”, but Live Writer won’t let me use strikeouts in the title.
2. The following was emailed to my wife and when she showed it to me, I just “knew” I had to add it to the Pajama Press blog.
3. I disagree with this author’s opinion.  He/she infers that all residents fall into the categories depicted below.  Some folks, and probably most, do respect the property loaned to them.
4. The majority of those who voted have twice installed Mr. Obama as President of the United States and while I wasn’t one of them, I must respect their choice.
5. Even though I believe the current resident is unqualified, and by both his actions and inactions is unfit, he and the political machine did “earn” the elections’ outcomes.

The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.
The people who live in the house did not earn the house, but were merely loaned the property by the actual owners, the taxpayers. Because of this, the residents do not have the "pride of ownership" that comes with the hard work necessary to become owners.
In fact, quite the opposite happens. The residents resent their benefactors, because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves have not earned the right to live in the house. They neither appreciate the value of the property nor understand the need to maintain or respect it in any way.
The result is the same, whether one is talking about either a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques. If the people who live there do not feel they've earned the privilege of occupancy, they will make this obvious through their actions.

Note the common theme of the following photographs.....

The desk [in the oval office], built from timbers of the HMS Resolute and a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes is considered a national treasure and icon of the presidency.
The White House belongs to the people of America.
Its treasures should NOT be used by ANYONE for a foot rest…!
These photos, ongoing proof that this man has no class whatsoever, all show an innate disrespect for our White House.
SO, HERE'S A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA:

Mr. Obama, you're not in a hut in Kenya or Indonesia, or in Chicago public housing. You're in the White House, Barry, property of the people of the United States.

With all due respect, get your @#%*+#% feet off our furniture..!
