Barack Obama held a town meeting on CNBC and when asked by a middle class American told the Prez that;
‘I’m one of your middle class Americans. And quite frankly, I’m exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for, and deeply disappointed with where we are right now…. My husband and I have joked for years that we thought we were well beyond the hot dogs and beans era of our lives, but, quite frankly, it’s starting to knock on our door and ring true that that might be where we’re headed again, and, quite frankly, Mr. President, I need you to answer this honestly. Is this my new reality?’
A truthful and honest question asked to the President and he couldn’t agree with her more, Obama said the country’s economy is ‘moving in the right direction’ even if it doesn’t feel that way.

The Prez went on to say that ‘I understand your frustration.’ He proceeded to list his administration’s reforms on student loans, credit cards and ‘a whole host of things that we’ve put in place that do make your life better.’ It ain’t easy being the President when your put out there and confronted by people who need help.
