Tired of people drooling over Obama.


It's actually too late now because I already sent the email but I'm going to ask your opinion about this anyway.

The following letter to the editor was posted in the Morning Call on Sat Nov 28: http://www.mcall.com/news/opinion/letters/all-bartlett1119.7091919nov28,0,1141771.story

I generally don't read the paper but for whatever reason this happened to catch my eye as I was crumbling papers to get my wood stove going.  I am getting sick of uninformed people who seem to simply hate anything Bush and drool over Obama.  That's the impression I got from the womans letter.  It was more of a "poor Obama" letter than explaining why she agreed with any of the issues about which she spoke.  So I decided to do something I've never done before - I wrote to the editor myself.  That text is included below.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have.

This is in response to the letter written by Becky Bartlett on Sat Nov 28.

Miss Bartlett,

     Perhaps if the elected Democrats in Congress would have blindly followed the President (and Pelosi) there would be no need for any of this debate.  The government would have taken complete control of the banking, housing and auto industries.  We would have pulled our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan to make way for the next generation of Jihadist training camps.  Cap and Trade would have passed.  Health Care Reform would have passed and you wouldn't have to be bothered by those annoying once a year cancer screenings.  Gitmo would have been closed and the detainees sent.....where I don't know but at least Gitmo would have been closed.

     It's the Democrats in Congress that we should be focusing on -- at least those that are questioning these policies rather than just casting their vote along party lines.  If the majority thought these items were worth passing they would have been passed.  But because people are asking questions -- and the administration is strangely very short on answers by the way -- Democracy is doing its job.

     Thankfully it's not just the Conservatives that are griping about "how he's pushing the mop" or how he's trying to dig "their country out of the hole".  That should tell you something, ma'am.  Perhaps people are realizing just picking up a shovel and continuing to dig is not the answer.
