President Obama,
I didn’t vote for you, but I love this country so I want things to go well during your time in office. So far, not so good. The economy seems to be turning around, but still no definite word on that yet. My biggest gripe is your constant campaigning. You’re the president now. You won. Do your job. Don’t go to Europe and apologize to them and say America is arrogant. What was that all about? Would you tell the doughboy in WWI or the solider that stormed the beach in Normandy during WWII that they are arrogant? I mean after all, they helped save Europe, particularly Britain and France, twice. Would you say that to a bunch of a veterans hanging out at the local VFW? I think not. What about the men and women who are now serving? Would you say to a crowd of Europeans, “Oh don’t worry about them, they are just arrogant.” They only work to keep peace in the world. Yes, that’s right — the world. You can’t please everyone, but don’t try to please the wrong people. Going to Europe and begging for forgiveness and then bowing to the Saudi king is just wrong. As the president of the United States, you don’t do that. Also stop blaming everything that doesn’t go your way on the past administration. It seems that you have more than once come out and said this shouldn’t have been done this way, but then later reverse your decision because oops, it was being done correctly and guess what — the administration before your’s was right. Your first 100 days in office are over. If Congress doesn’t vote the way you want, don’t blame it on the past administration. You own it now. You decided to close Guantanamo Bay not the former administration and just because Congress including many Democrats don’t want to fork over the money to close it, don’t blame anyone else but yourself. You need to get to work and stop campaigning. Instead of giving speeches that aren’t important, get in the Oval Office and get some things done. Instead of worrying about whether Fox News likes you or not, talk to the ordinary citizen and find out what is going on. I bet you would learn a lot. You said on the campaign trail you weren’t from Washington and you would change the town, but guess what you haven’t. You whine and belly ache like the rest of them. Get to work, Mr. President and do something good for once.
Amen sister!!! All this fuss over the waterboarding of 3, yes 3 terrorists. Cheny is right-release all the documentation on these events, not just pieces of it.
Go Jana Go!
I find it interesting that the President want 80 mil to close Guantanamo. Whay would it cost that much to close a place holding 300 or so people? I heard on the radio today that some big name designer who’s name has vacated my brain for the moment, is leveling his house in the Hamptons to rebuild a new one. Cost for salvageing “saveable items: to reuse, complete teardown on disposal of home- somewhere in the neighborhood of $180,000. Apparetnly this guys place is much bigger that Gittmo is too. Interesting don’t you think!?!?!
I totally agree with you!!!!!!
I too am outraged at what the President has been doing and it is time that we, meaning all American’s start telling him to straighten up his act or resign!
