      David Long, you obviously have a lot of issues in your life. I would trade this man for our leader any day. The only reason you whine is because you haven't seen the true suffering. Go to Bangladesh or India or other third world countries. You will understand what I mean. Every country has old people on the streets. Some have more than the others. Some have hundreds and some have millions. And by the way, he is chosen by your own people. Nobody is perfect. But he does a damn good job.

      Can't believe this man say, it's offensive to see your fellow citizen living in a destitute life. Hasn't he seen or pretended not seeing there are hundreds, if not thousands, of old people selling tissue papers or collecting card boards on the street, to survive.
