I consider myself to be an average American. I am fiscally conservative in that I do not buy anything that I cannot afford.

Austin Hill: President Barack Obama is human. He is not a "messiah," he is not omniscient, and after a year in the White House, he has neither been, nor will be, that one, single individual who "fixes everything" that is wrong with America.
