Dear George...

Dear George,
“ A pack of lies.”
War, jobs, freedom, elections, Medicare “reform”, Social Security, torture, reconstruction, the economy, domestic issues—they are all based on many things but little if any of it the truth.
Millions of Americans lack the most basic healthcare; millions more can't adequately feed themselves and their families. Seniors must decide between food and medicine; because of outsourcing, the middle class is being squeezed almost out of existence. If your name is Rockefeller, Bush, Vanderbilt or Getty, you have a nice, fat trust fund to fall back on; most of us do not. About 40 years ago, John F. Kennedy wrote, “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.” You either don't know of or have chosen to ignore the average American's struggle.
If Teddy Roosevelt were alive today to see how you've damaged this country's air, water and public lands, he'd thrash you soundly about the head and shoulders.
Senator Daniel Webster wrote in 1834, “The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.” You and your loyalists have trampled on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, trying to change the rules so you can have your way. Apparently, you are not familiar with Abraham Lincoln's counsel that “Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”
George, you're a mean little man who has perverted religion from something that is deeply and intensely personal to a nifty political trick, lambasting gay marriage, all the while, a gay prostitute visited the White House almost 200 times in two years.
Many Americans now respect the office of the Presidency but not the President.
South Korea, Germany—every industrialized country except the US it seems, is making dramatic progress with Stem Cell research but our country lags behind because it offends your delicate sensibilities. As someone who suffered a paralytic stroke, your actions denying promise are something I'll never forget and something for which I'll never forgive you.
There's a whale of a difference between a President that isn't immediately forthcoming about an extramarital affair and one that knowingly lies the nation into a war that kills hundreds upon hundreds of its country's soldiers.
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. It is better to be alone than in bad company.”-- George Washington.
