Enough.

I wrote a letter to the President today, here it is.

Cowards.
Your administration, and yourself Mr. President, are cowards who lack the courage of any convictions. Cowards and betrayers. Because you and your administration's actions and leadership, or lack of either, have effectively thrown the vast majority of Americans to the wolves. We face an income disparity the likes of which is typically found only in third world banana republics and you, your administration, and your party will do nothing about it. It has been shown that you handed money out like candy to the people most responsible for our current disaster and now you will appease them by making sure their taxes don't go up. Meanwhile, two million people will not have the money to buy food this month because our overlords deign us unworthy of any help dealing with the disaster of their making. You have said everyone must have health insurance but have allowed one of the nation’s largest companies to continue offering mini-med coverage to the vast majority of its employees while offering full coverage, for less, to its executives.
We have become a banana republic in fact if not name and you and yours will do nothing to change it. The middle and lower class of this country have few options and even fewer reasons for hope. It is glaringly obvious that we are being told to accept our lot in life and hope our betters will feel generous and perhaps allow us to work as their bootlickers. That we should meekly accept the rotten scraps from the tables of our lords and masters, after the dogs have their pick.

You have said you would prefer being a 1 term president who achieved rather than a 2 term president who played it safe. You will be neither. If this continues you will be a one term president because you abdicated the responsibility of leadership, your espoused principles, and defending the interests of the vast majority of America. You will be a 1 term president because a coward deserves nothing but contempt and removal from leadership.

I still think you were a better choice than John McCain. I no longer think you were a great choice. If you chose to stand, and fight for the betterment of the lower and middle class you would have been great. But you have shown that you will not stand, you will not fight, that a collective shout of “No!” will set you scurrying for compromise with those who seek none. You have shown you will not lead.

Coward and betrayer.

There will be another post in the next couple days with statistics, studies, and links to back up what I said.

That is all.
