TOLEDO, Ohio (Reuters) - Hope and jobs are in short supply in Ohio eight months after President Barack Obama won the recession-battered state in the 2008 election with promises of a better future.
"People were looking for a savior to get us out of this mess and that's why they voted for Obama," said Jeff Fravor, 55, a retired train conductor on his way to breakfast on the outskirts of Toledo.
"I've nothing against Obama personally, but he's new to the job and 'hope' won't fix this mess."

Good quote. Guess they can get their apple carts ready or the “Hey buddy, can you spare a dime?” signs.
This is the same sort of idiot who would pour gasoline on a fire, because they figure any liquid should help put it out.
I think at some point, state employees throughout the United States should have to take a 50% cut with their pensions.
Right now, with all the pensions the states are paying, it is not sustainable.
An Affirmative Action baby with a sheepskin from Harvard aint exactly what I would call “elite” in the classic sense. Another poseur moron who is unfit for the White House. Why can’t we have COMPETANT and RESPONSIBLE leadership for a change (and NO, such folks don’t typically come from academia or the “common people” either. Minnie Pearl aint gonna do, despite the fact that she would be an improvement over the Chosen One).
Sarah Palin is not the new Reagan, she is the new Katherine Harris.
Oh, great. And how did Harris do in that Senate run?
Thanks, I knew there would be “boo-hooers” and “vote for Obama deniers” and I don't feel sorry for them for whatever reason they voted for him because they put me in the same position they are in. I have to suffer for their foolishness. It's not like they elected an incompetent governor and they have to live with it. Nope, they voted for an incometent POTUS and not we all have to suffer. Socialism knocked on our back door and they let it in - shame on them.
Zero's never preached anything but economic idiocy. His entire life has run off of other people's money. I think he really believes there's just a big ole bucket o money out there, and you can scoop out of it forever, and it will magically refill. That's the level of economic intelligence that got him elected.
One of the biggest problems of socialism is that it breeds economic idiocy. If every one of your actual needs is met, you can blow your money on anything you want with no consequences. I have no idea how many times I've stood behind someone in a line at a grocery store and observed the following: They've got body piercings. They've got tattoos that cost hundreds of dollars. They're getting cigarettes and beer, but buying their groceries with food stamps.
I've made calls in terrible, terrible projects, places no one would want to live. People in there are broke, but they have a big flat screen TV. Remember the Mastercards issued after Katrina? People went out and bought handbags that cost hundreds of dollars, and never considered that they might need to buy food and cheap decent clothes with that money.
Don’t get me started on ACORN. *spit*
“’Jeff Fravor, 55, a retired train conductor’” 55 and reired huh well then Jeff then YOU are part of the problem in this coutry.”
What is your comment supposed to mean? My neighborhood is crawling with Navy/Army/Air Force/Marine retirees. Nearly all retired from the military in their 40s and by age 55 are well into their 2nd careers from which they derive significant incomes, and from which they will receive a second pension, based on the experience they picked up during their first careers. So far as I know, their retired military pensions and benefits are not affected by their 2nd career incomes, as is SS.
Do you think that this guy is in to his “second” career? Doesn’t sound like it. O and RR retirement and Post Office retirement is totally divorced from “Social Security”.
Case(s) of buyers remorse?
At any rate, many are coming to realize that the ‘hope and change’ voted for was nothing more than hype. The .gif you pegged here simply suggests and enforces such. Being slapped back into reality must be a difficult thing for many of those Barry loving/voting people to endure.
The Harvard “thing” is part of this video.
Absolutely awesome video, thanks so much.....

You got it.
That doesn’t explain how HE is part of the problem because he was in a job that offered retirement at a young age. So, the guys who work for the railroads, military or USPS get to retire earlier, that was the deal everyone agreed to when they signed up. Same is true for many teachers and police/firemen.
If he chose not to pursue a second career and to live instead on his RR retirement, I don’t get the problem or how HE is part of it.
