Thank You Mr President

Thank you Mr Presidient for making me successful

By Joel Ross | Updated on July 28, 2012

Dear President Obama,

First let me apologize for not realizing it was an overpaid government worker with that pension and lifetime health care for his family who studied for me in high school, took the SAT test and got me into Wharton. I also did not realize that it was that same government worker who took classes and studied late at night to get good grades for me in college. None of that was really me. Silly me working as a busboy so I could eat, and for working factory jobs in the summer so I could afford to pay my way when my father was unemployed during my college days. Little did I know all I had to do was call the White House to get food. I also want to thank the government for the opportunity to serve two combat tours in Vietnam. That was really great fun at taxpayer expense. Risking my life for what I believe in was a real extra the tour operator called the US Navy added for special fun.
