Dear President Obama, Posted on 06/04/2010 2:43:56 PM PDT by mlizzy
Dear President Obama,
Every citizen with a modicum of insight into public affairs would say that America is now at a crossroads of decision about what kind of future we want for our nation-and, by extension, for the rest of the world. Whether we like it or not, you are the one who is designated by a vote of the electorate to lead us in that decision-making process. You have asked for the job, and you have proposed yourself as being competent for it. History will judge your Administration on its own merits when your term is complete, but we, the citizens of this country, must judge it for what we see happening before our very eyes. Quite frankly, the picture isn't pretty, and you haven't earned our respect as a leader.
The reason for this, Mr. President, is that we can't believe what you say, and frankly, what you do is utterly unbelievable at times.
The recent Gulf Coast oil spill disaster is indicative of your utter carelessness with the onerous burden of governance. Not only did you dis the families of the 11 workers killed in the disaster, but you also attended fundraisers in CA, a trip to the golf course and several state parties in the White House during the whole time the Governor of Louisiana has been screaming frantically for your attention. How can you expect us to believe that you were actually "in charge" of handling the disaster? In six weeks we have seen hardly a shred of evidence to convince us of that. A leader who says he is in charge of something and then conducts a systematic campaign of blaming, dodging, obfuscating, ignoring and even now prosecuting the others involved - instead of fixing the problem - will hardly go down in the record books as the savior he proposed himself to be when he was elected. You are the Commander-in-Chief who has gone AWOL on a truly national crisis.
On top of all that, you basically blew off a sacred national holiday, Memorial Day, for the sake of a vacation to gangsterland. That slap in the face to our military men and women was not lost on anyone, nor was the narcissistic disregard for American history or anything other than what fits your extreme political agenda. These are appalling traits for the one who holds the highest political office in our land, and only a fawning and dishonest media allows you to get away with this negligence in office.
Speaking of which, what are we to make of your pathetic excuse for the crime of attempting to bribe Congressman Sestak to bow out of the Senate race against Arlen Specter? Do you really think Americans believe the utterly implausible story about offering him a "non-paying" position on some presidential panel? Your Administration's explanation, issued on the afternoon of a holiday weekend, rings hollow, and everyone knows it. "Hollow" is an adequate word to describe your Administration, your political theatre and your rhetoric. Even some of your staunchest ideological supporters admit that it is getting increasingly hard to believe that you mean anything you say.
In the midst of all this domestic incompetence and dishonesty, we have seen no realistic response to North Korean, Iranian or Turkish aggression on the world scene. Foreign politicians know you are a leftist lightweight, and so we can expect more of the same from the rogue nations of the world, further destabilizing the security of our nation and the world. We have, however, seen you and your inept band of political marauders pander to foreign dictators and exploit the Mexican President to abuse us and our national deliberations on serious issues. We have seen your ideological hacks take over whole industries, plunder the private sector, abuse the good will of states and consume sound American institutions as if they were your enemies and with a ferocity that would befit only those who we would call our true national enemies.
Like the Gulf oil spill, your Administration is out of control, and every day is another step closer to disaster. As the oil continues to pollute, kill and damage the external beauty and economy of a whole region, you and your team are doing the same with the trust of the people who built this great country.
We deserve better, Mr. President, and it's time you start doing your job.
Sincerely,
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer
President, Human Life International
Well, hey, the news says obama is fuming mad. Isn’t that enough? /s
Right on.
The only thing I would differ from is the last line, “Do your job.” I really don’t think that Obama is capable, morally or intellectually, of doing the job. I think he has to go.
That is why I no longer pray that God will enlighten our President, but instead simply pray that God will come to the aid of our country. If that means converting Obama, well and good, but it sure doesn’t seem very likely to me.

Read, then send it to all your lib friends.
It’s a thing of beauty. Penelopesire pinged me. I replied. I’m having another scatter brained day...lol.
I will send it to my mensa-member lib sister-in-law.
The one who wants to join the NRA so she can get an NRA bumper sticker so the cops won’t give her any more tickets.
Yep, you heard me right!
You think she’ll get it?
Expect the shrieking media harpies to attack this man soon.
I was just over reading the Times Picayune and the comment sections. PEOPLE ARE PISSED!! It’s an unmitigated and unmanaged disaster.
These strange workers(that can’t talk to anybody)out to ‘clean up’, are wandering around like some lazy highway clean-up crew. 10—20 of them here and there...chatting and texting on their cell phones...wandering around with bags and kitty litter scoops. It’s hardly the ‘national response’ this disaster deserves. The eco-elites won’t let the hundreds of volunteers ‘touch the birds’ or help because they need ‘certification’ or some such idiotic thing. If that was going to be a problem, why didn’t the eco-snots start training people 40 days ago? How hard can it be to wash down a bird? A 20 minute ‘course’ at the most!
Good grief!
Thanks for the ping!
People have every reason to be pissed. He always voted “present” and now he’s not even ‘present.’
The most imcompetent, arrogant, fraud ever elected to the highest office in our land.
Father E should be given Hannity’s air time.
Wow!
Cig break?
This is real, concrete, tangible ... there's really a blown-out well, there's really scuzz on the water, there's really tar on the beaches ... It's real, and Zero simply doesn't know how to deal with reality. He's been yanked out of his world of make-believe, and he's floundering. That is a far worse disaster than the oil spill. It's a dangerous world, America does not need an indecisive, irresolute, inexperienced, incompetent fool in the White House. Far worse than polluting the Gulf of Mexico, this oil spill has revealed, starkly, for the whole world, that POTUS is an empty suit.
Nothing good will come of it.
I just emailed this to two people. Awesome article.
There are still enough fawning drones for The One.
Those that are ‘disloyal’ will be dealt with.. note Obama admin grabs at “preserving” dying dinosaur newspapers at taxpayer cost.
The flipside being “disloyal” reporters will be punished.
Obama's 'solution'..20-30 folks with bags and kitty litter scoops.
