Dear people in countries other than the US,

Please stop acting like you know what is going on in the US. Please stop bashing those of us who cannot stand Obama. You do not live here. You have not lived here for the past few years. You were not born and raised here, you were not here to experience the job loss, the struggle it is to maintain a lifestyle now, you were not here to compare now to then. You keep spreading this Obama praise around everywhere, but you're being insensitive to the majority of the country who cannot find jobs, who're watching their towns fall apart because companies keep leaving, those who just can't take it anymore but have to keep struggling because nobody is thinking about them. You have not seen what it is like now compared to before. Just because Obama came out in favor for equal marriage rights does not mean he is good for our country. Speaking as someone who falls under the LGBT "category", I can tell you I don't care about marriage when I cannot go to college, I cannot find a job, my family is struggling to stay afloat and the already dwindling jobs continue to leave and leave, while the only notable thing Obama has done recently, is stuff a new medical tax down our throats which the majority cannot afford. ( I know I'm personally going to be screwed. )
I'm tired of seeing people in Europe especially saying crap like "Obama better get reelected", "I'm in Greece and I'm terrified if Romney gets elected" - YOU DO NOT LIVE HERE. BUTT OUT.

Come spend at least 4 years living in southwestern Ohio ( And I don't mean places like Cincinnati or Columbus; I'm talking about towns like mine ). Try it, I dare you.

In the UK, you guys get college practically free compared to us. We have to pay OUT THE ASS to even have HOPES of going to a good college, and after graduating, you're in debt for decades, busting your ass trying to pay it all off. Most students cannot. Most students will not even get a job after graduating a 4-year college. They're lucky if they're flipping burgers at a fast food joint. So don't act like you know. You don't understand fully until you're here. You have not seen what Obama has NOT done.

While he's off renovating the White House, people are losing their houses, their jobs, their education, their way of lives. And all he has to do to win people back is come on tv and say "I believe in gay marriage"? Don't insult those of us trying to make a living here. We need jobs more than people need to get married, I don't care what anyone says.

I cannot express enough that people who do not live here do not know. You don't. Your tv, the internet, everything; NONE OF IT. You don't know. You have to live here for years to get it. I've seen 21 years of it - this is not a question of age, please don't tell me "oh you're young, you don't know anything" because I know enough to tell you it is not sunshine and peaches - and ever since Obama was elected, we've been royally screwed.

In my personal experience, I live in a good ol' American town that used to do just fine in the 90s/early 2000s, but as soon as Obama was elected... You can just tell by looking at our schools. Everything is being cut. Jobs keep leaving every year. I've seen my friends, who've gone to college, be turned down day after day after day, despite their college degrees, because NOBODY IS HIRING. My warm little town is falling apart, and it makes me so sad to see it.

So tell me, while the regular American town is collapsing, what is Obama doing? It's not even crossing his mind. His ads say he's restored the auto plants in 80 Ohio counties; I live here and that's a blatant lie. GM dropped everything and ran, and never came back, and with it, collapsed all the little businesses that relied on it to continue. He doesn't give a shit. You tell me how that's good.

So hey. Pardon me if I get pissed when someone outside the country preaches to me about how good Obama is. That is a slap in my face and the faces of people in this situation. You don't even know.

I'm not praising Romney at all ( they're both ridiculous and evil ) but stop this shit. Think about it for yourself more. You're being inconsiderate.

Just like how I don't know what it's like to live in poverty in Africa; I'm not going to pretend I know what their system of living is like there when it could be way worse than we see. Just like how I do not pretend to know what your political figures in the UK or France or whatever have done, I will not tell you who you should or should not vote for. I do not know what it is like anywhere but the US. You do not know what it's like here if you haven't lived here.

Get my point? If you don't then you're part of the flock herded by the ads they throw up on television, trying to impose a preset opinion on others. Stop it.

Sincerely, a person who used to have a bright future before all this shit happened.
