I just want to start off by saying, this post already is making me so sad because I dearly miss what we had! 2nd, alot of people gave President Obama so much crap for getting $400,000 to do a speaking engagement, but he's putting his money to good use, and the people who were complaining and doing what with their money? Oh ok.
On Wednesday, President Obama was in Chicago hosting a community event @ the Obama Presidential Center, where he made an announcement about how he and Michelle are planning on helping the city of Chicago. "One of the things that we will be starting this year is Michelle and I, personally, are going to donate $2 million to our summer jobs program here in the community, so that right away young people can get to work, and we can start providing opportunities to all of them. We'll be working with the city, we'll be working with the country, we'll be working with businesses because part of what we want to do is reach young people who might be @ risk if they don't have something to do during the summers. But part of what we also want to do is to reach older youth who may be prepared for apprenticeships because one of the things that this project is going to do is generate jobs." **STANDS AND GIVES THIS EXCELLENT BLACK COUPLE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!** This man is still working to improve the conditions of others even though he's no longer in the White House and doesn't have to do what he's doing. He could continue to go about his business and continue vacationing because he's deserved it, but instead he's giving back. GOOD GOD, I MISS THIS MAN! There are 2 things I wanted to really say @ the end of this post, the 1st being, many leaders have made it known that there's a crisis going on in Chicago, but nobody's coming up with solutions and actually implementing those solutions. This is a man who's coming up with solutions and backing them up with actions. The people of Chicago need people like President Obama in their corner to try and help them get out of this violent never ending cycle that they've been in. They need more people like him in their corner to let them know what somebody genuinely cares about them and wants to help them. There's enough talk about what's going on there, but there's not enough talk about what to do and how to "fix" it. 2nd thing, just like what I mentioned @ the beginning of the post. Some folks came out bitching about him getting that money. My thoughts about him getting that money, he deserves every single penny for all the bullshit that he had to go through for 8 years while he was president. And clearly, he and Michelle are giving money back to the community, sooo what's your problem? These people that were complaining need to shut the hell and show us the receipts of them giving back to the community before they start bitching about this man.
