Financially Strapped Michigan Woman, Jennifer Cline, to Sell Handwritten Note from President Obama for $7K to Cover Mortgage

Jennifer Cline from Monroe, MI, was forced to sell a handwritten note from President Obama to cover her mortgage. According to the NY Post, Cline wrote to the president about her financial hardship, having lost her job, health care benefits and discovering she had two types of skin cancer and his response was "things will get better." You see, this is why the Democrats will lose big in Tuesday's midterm elections. There are more people out there with the same story as Jennifer Cline. Well, at least the note had some monetary value, to the tune of $7,000.

Obama was shown the letter by an aide on Jan. 8. He wrote back on a White House-headed card he signed: "Thanks for the very kind and inspiring letter. I know times are tough, but knowing there are folks out there like you and your husband gives me confidence that things will keep getting better!"

But things didn't immediately improve for Cline, who's now agreed to sell the letter to autograph dealer Gary Zimet for $7,000. He tells us, "The letter is a historical document, and it is very hard for her to part with it. It's very timely considering the elections. But I don't think she's disillusioned with Obama -- this is just about surviving and practicality. She is selling it to pay for a house, which I think is poetic justice." Source: NY Post

Well, Ms. Cline will benefit from President Obama's note, as well as benefit from the fact that Medicaid covered her cancer treatment. I guess the moral of the story is that the Democrats and the Republicans do not have a solution to what ails people on Main Street. I can't see why the President won't call for a moratorium on foreclosures and force lenders and borrowers to the table to reach a mutually beneficial solution.
