Washington, Oct 2 (ANI): American television hostess Kathy Lee Gifford is not too pleased with how President Barack Obama is running the country.
Gifford, 56, is of the opinion that Obama, 48, should listen more to middle America, and not ignore their voices.
“I would like to see him listen more to Middle America. They’re trying to have their voice heard but they’re being dismissed as a mob or Astroturf or different things,” Fox News quoted her as saying.
“I have quite a few friends who are in those tea parties and it is not people who are Republican or Democrat, they’re Americans who are deeply concerned about how much in debt we are going to be as a nation.
“I would love to hear him listen to them more. It is a huge issue and I don’t want to ruin (my daughter’s) future because she’s going to be saddled with my bills. That’s a bipartisan thing.
“The Democrats don’t do it and the republicans don’t do it. We need to go back to the old fashioned way of you pay for it as you go along,” she added. (ANI)
