A sad situation

More than buyer's remorse

SPOKANE, Wash. - Two Washington state girls took their plea straight to President Obama after their dad was laid off from his job.

The two mailed a letter to the president at the White House after watching their father, Henry, struggle to find a new job. Now they're about to lose their home.

It's a simple letter - asking for help.

"My name is Lilian Deck and my sister and I live in Spokane," the girls' letter begins. "We would like to ask you a question - where is the help you promised in your campaign?"

The letter is signed by Lilian, 13, and her 10-year-old sister Daleen. KATU

That is an excellent question... I wonder if the two girls wrote the letter on their own or if they were encouraged by family members.

What is happening in our economy is devastating so many households and communities. I think we're beyond calling this a "recession", but no one wants to use the "d" word.

Thanks for posting!
