Dear President Obama,
It has become apparent for some time that you are incapable or have no real intention of delivering the change you promised when I cast my vote for you to be our current POTUS. The Shirley Sherrod incident now makes it abundantly clear to me that the primary goal of your entire administration is to placate and appease the right wing noise machine at the expense of any meaningful progress while trashing the reputations of public servants that could actually make a difference.
It’s almost as if you think your political opposition voted for you in the first place and will be there again in 2012. Then so be it. I won’t. Once I’ve been thrown under the bus, I’m not going to vote to do it some more.
Also joining me under the bus (in no particular order):
A Public HC Option or Medicare for All
Fully restoring Glass-Steagall
Dawn Johnsen
War Crimes
Net Neutrality
EFCA/Card Check
MMS Reform
The Gulf of Mexico
Capping the Afghanistan Treasury Spill (Lives and $)
DADT
DOJ Attorneys Firings
Erroll Southers
Van Jones
Cap and Trade
Election Reform
My Vote
I’ve been told I should be grateful for half a loaf or a crumb here and there. No. I can no longer enable you, Mr. President. You are not Lindsay Lohan. Please, please, put down the RW Noise Machine Appeasement Pipe. It’s made you impotent. Good luck with that. You’re either serious or you’re not.
Untill then,
Ciao. (Eat Me)
