President Barack Obama

Please know that the below letter is NOT written by me nor advocated by me. It was sent to me by a relative via email. I want to say this to the below letter. These are my words, my thoughts, the red below are not. Maybe scroll down and read the letter first to get the gist.

Guess in my mind we need to give him more than four months to see how he does. I'm pretty open. Voted for George W. Bush both times myself. I'm not only a Democratic voter... decided this time that John McCain was going to be a basic extension of GWB and knew that wasn't working...

I read the letter below, agreed with a few things, disagreed with a few things but overall feel in true fairness, don't the American people, now that he's President, need to give him a fair shake to see how he does? Maybe not. Maybe its best to bash the hell out of him and his administration and create the most negative atmosphere possible. I remember when GWB was not doing so well, particularly in his 2nd term and towards the end, no one was really allowed (in comparison to what I'm seeing now towards Barack Obama) to speak out in such ways towards the President. I never got emails like this and our country back then was well on this track of going to Hell in a handbasket. GWB is the one who drove us right to the door we're at now. And Barack Obama has been in office all of four months and HE'S the problem? I don't get it. But then again maybe I'm sheltered and ignorant. It's probably that.

I say give him a real chance. It seems only fair. He signed up for this big job, we didn't. I know I could never do it. Could you? Kudos to him for trying different things and not subscribing to the same ways that got us here. Certainly Barack Obama did not get us in this mess. I'm sure we could all agree on that. I have things that I haven't agreed with him on but what is the point of bashing or continually dredging it up? If we can get our country back in a generally positive direction at some point in the near future, that will be a good thing. We won't all agree on everything and that's human nature. That's what makes the world go round I believe. I'm probably wrong on that too.




Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.

You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America. You are responsible to the citizens of the United States. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.

I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?

Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia. You don't show Great Britain, our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia. How dare you, sir! How dare you!

You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey. You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What's the matter with you?

I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.

You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.

What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members - on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven't said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn't!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million - not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven't you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.

Sincerely,

Every real American
