Who'll answer the phone at 3 a.m.?

Well last night I was up - again - until 2 a.m. doing work.

Why don't I call the White House at 3 a.m. and tell them that I'm still up working - to pay off a wheelchair?

Or maybe tell them about my brother in law, who works two jobs. His schedule looks like this: 6 am to 3 pm at job 1, then 4 pm to 9pm at job 2.

Here's the thing: unlike a lot of issues our country faces, those emergency 3 a.m. calls don't happen every night, but what's telling is that 3 a.m. no longer sounds that late to me.

All of the candidates are so removed from reality that they think the public will be impressed by stuff like that. It's time to challenge anything but what addresses real problems.

Yeah it's not like years ago when you could work one job and make ends meet. What that does to family life is really bad too.
