Mr. President, regarding the GOP's fight to stop you from repairing the damage they created, may I
Edited on Fri Jun-25-10 04:36 PM by JohnWxy
remind you of what you said when you correctly relieved an adolescent, out-of-control general of duty?:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I’ve just told my national security team that now is the time for all of us to come together. Doing so is not an option, but an obligation. I welcome debate among my team, but I won’t tolerate division. All of us have personal interests; all of us have opinions. Our politics often fuels conflict, but we have to renew our sense of common purpose and meet our responsibilities to one another, and to our troops who are in harm’s way, and to our country.

We need to remember what this is all about. Our nation is at war. We face a very tough fight in Afghanistan. But Americans don’t flinch in the face of difficult truths or difficult tasks. We persist and we persevere. We will not tolerate a safe haven for terrorists who want to destroy Afghan security from within, and launch attacks against innocent men, women, and children in our country and around the world."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. President, at every turn, the Republicans have been cravenly fighting to keep you from repairing the damage they did to our economy with Deregulation of the Financial services industry, fighting 50 States Attorneys General who tried to rein in predatory lenders and by doubling the national debt to fund a fraudulent war which distracted us from the war that should have been fought against those who attacked us on 9/11.

The Republicans cravenly opppose every jobs bill, every bill to extend unemployment benefits. As economists across the political spectrum agree, these measures are necessary to keep this REPUBLICAN DYSTOPIA from getting worse than it already is. The Republicans want you to fail in hope's that this will gain them votes in November. They will accuse you of leading an ineffective Government - which was their own handiwork.


Mr. President what applies to an out-of-control General also applies to sociopathic politicians, bent upon your defeat at the expense of our country.


You spoke eloquently when you said:


"now is the time for all of us to come together. Doing so is not an option, but an obligation"

"we have to renew our sense of common purpose and meet our responsibilities to one another,...and to our country."

"We need to remember what this is all about. Our nation is at war. We face a very tough fight"
... (in our own Government...to rebuild our broken economy_JW).

"But Americans don’t flinch in the face of difficult truths or difficult tasks. We persist and we persevere. We will not tolerate" ...... "terrorists who want to destroy Afghan
/ America's / security from within, and launch / economic/ attacks against innocent men, women, and children in our country.."




.... Mr. President, again, what applies to an out-of-control General, certainly applies to irresponsible, depraved* politicians who relentlessly pursue your failure at fixing their disasters, whatever it may cost the country.

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAD US IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD "DESTROY AMERICA'S SECURITY FROM WITHIN, AND WHO WOULD LAUNCH ECONOMIC ATTACKS AGAAINST INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN ADN CHILDREN IN OUR COUNTRY".


* depraved - - deviating from what is considered moral or right or proper or good
