I was pretty disgusted to see Sen. Lamar Alexander in the "news" attempting to paint Republicans as the voice of reason - talking Obama down from his foolish, ill conceived plans to eliminate the anti-trust examption for insurance companies and take on Fox News.
from Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A top U.S. Senate Republican invoked the memory of the scandal-marred Nixon administration on Wednesday to urge U.S. President Barack Obama: "Don't start an enemies list."
Senator Lamar Alexander told Reuters he sees the Obama White House adopting an attitude similar to that of the Richard Nixon White House four decades ago, that "everybody is against us and we are going to get them."
Alexander cited as examples the Obama administration threatening to strip the insurance industry of its exemption of federal anti-trust laws, "taking names" of bondholders who opposed the auto bailout, its reported aim to "neuter the U.S. Chamber of Commerce," boycotting Fox News Network and "calling out" of others who oppose it.
I wrote this letter - and now that its written I may as well post it. Any suggestions before I send it?
