Also if you have Social Security coming- take that you paid for it...support conservative policy with it as well- if you don't need it for living costs.Your children need to apply for financial aid for college- they can get excellent education at most 2 year colleges...

Yep, a crashing market under Pres Obama will affect everyone, but did it impact V. and her story? Yep, if the situation continues, it may very well further impact V., me and you.

I agree, because I never suggested such a thing, but then why mention him and not explain why he is her foe? My original question from Post #35 - <em>Why is Pres Obama a foe instead of the bank that screwed up her savings?</em> OH, yes because of what he will do in the future. Yet, that requires some kind of psychic talent, tarot card reading, and some serious assignment of what V.'s motives and meaning is, when she called Pres Obama her foe. Seeing as how she gave no reason. And that is all I am looking for. A reason. And, I am prepared to accept that there is no linkage between the story she told and calling Obama her foe. Make all the assumptions you want about the future, assign motive to V. all you want, disconnect the apparent linkage between her story and calling Pres Obama her foe, and I still don't get it. Why does she think Pres Obama is her foe? Because, she does not say why. We have to guess and speculate as to why. I am going to speculate, too. My guess is that he is too tall. The Bank who screwed her out of her money is her foe.
