Reply #23: I'm a teacher looking for work. I voted dissatisfied.

[knitter4democracy]

I'm currently a writing coach at the alternative high school in town (best school I've ever been in, hands-down), and I wish they could hire me as a teacher. Not enough money. Currently, my position is grant-funded by the state (so I'm a bit nervous), and I get paid $85/day with no benefits. I do get some spousal and child support, but the spousal's not going to last all that much longer, so I'm nervous about getting a good teaching job soon.

I am seriously dissatisfied. He's taking Bush's extralegal actions and running with them (something we warned the Right would happen, and they didn't listen to us), he's pretty much ignoring his base and the massive needs of this nation while he panders to the GOP (who will always work against him) in the name of bipartisanship, and he's against the public schools. Where is a real jobs plan? Where is the public option for health insurance (I can't afford it and wish I had it)? Where are the promises he made during the campaign? Why is he escalating in Afghanistan when we should be pulling out of there entirely?!

I knew he was a corporatist even during the campaign, but this is more than disheartening.
