#1  Being a golfer gives him a sense of accomplishment.

#2  If this were W, they'd have a stroke-by-stroke timeline comparing shots vs deaths of Americans in Afghanistan.

*spit* on their bias

An Open Letter to President Obama
Posted by: Mercutio || 08/21/2010 00:00 || Comments || Link || [5 views] Top|| File under:

#1  I just don't get how the author thinks Obama cares what he or anyone else thinks.

He doesn't care. He's on vacation. He is more interested in what he's having for dinner than how your policies impact the nation.

He doesn't care. Deal with it, tax-slave. Get to work.

#2 
You are repeating the gross mistakes of Japan in the '90s and the Roosevelt administration in the '30s — both of which failed and lengthened severe economic problems for a decade or more. You are intentionally smothering our private sector with regulations, taxes and mandates at the same time you squander the wages and futures of our children and grandkids.

I deplore your continued efforts to divide the greatest nation of immigrants in the world along race and class lines. Pandering to various groups and attempting to set them against other Americans is demagoguery at its worst. I sincerely hope such actions end up damaging you in the end and not our country.

#3  Mr. Howard wasted both paper and time.

#4  smothering our private sector with regulations

Providing power to the governing class as well as creating jobs dependent on the governing elite. Modern serfdom.

#5  I do not resent you for your good fortune — you worked hard to become president and won the election fair and square.

1. No one seems to care about his good fortune and how he obtained it.
2. I don't think one can say Obama worked hard. He has lived a privileged life and never had a real job.
3. Won the election fair and square? There is the matter of SEIU, ACORN election rigging, and new Black Panther voter intimidation. DOJ doesn't really give a flip about this however. The donks want to investigate everyone who opposes, disagrees with, or speaks out against them. I have seen all the presidents since FDR and this has got to be the most corrupt and tyranny-bent I have ever seen. Their only saving grace is that they are incompetent.

#6  I do not resent the hell out of you for your good fortune — you hardly worked hard to become president and won the election fair and square with the help of Affirmative Action and the MSM's failure to reveal your background or your true intentions.

I'm afraid you got that part all wrong, Jeff. Fixed it for you.

#7  "I'm 63 and I'm Tired" by Robert Hall is a better letter (google it). I copied, printed and sent it to the WH. I'll probably get audited next year.

#8  Here's a link to I'm 63 and I'm tired.

Its well, well, worth reading.

Thanks Sleque!
