Dear Mr. President,
Giving motherly advice can be taken in many ways...positively or negatively. My way...well - I try to keep advice in the positive column. From the very beginning of your presidency I have had the utmost respect for you as our nations leader. I have great admiration for you, and in my opinion, no one president in my lifetime has had a more difficult year. Even as you fell heir to a staggering mess, you always remained cool headed. As you well know, the challenges you face each and every day have been like no other in the history of the United States. The applause should be roaring in your ears...but why is it not? My opinion...your message is being blurred...and drowned out. How?
Two of the most damaging threats to the health of your presidency that confronts you each and every day...24/7...are the media and the republicans...it is breathtaking...the nonstop hate talk. Now having said that...my advice to you is this...please do not allow this kind of hate into your soul. This is the time for a "Hail Mary" for the win...your win. Get back into your campaign mode...put the fire back in your belly and win the game. People need the "fierce urgency of now." They want to see strength...that "steel in your spine." And above all else...don't lose yourself in the murky waters that are contaminating Washington. Go after what you know in your heart and head is right and good...for the future of our country, the country that you are trying to save. There is no one man better suited for this task than you.
Whereas, if it were left up to the hard right, including the tea partiers, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and most in the media, you would be history by now. For the good of the country we need to be free of the irrational and seemingly uncontrollable negativity that is invading us...the media has indeed taken over...their pocketbooks and their agenda will win if we don't stop this insanity...it's a must do...for the betterment of our country.
Amazingly, and for the most part, you have risen above the ongoing attacks against you...but I fear that over time this will wear you down. Let me put it this way...they are wrong...you are right. The more they attack the more you should fight. Fight for all of us...even for the people who don't yet know that they are being set up and brainwashed by "some" who preach hate. Evil must be addressed...these people are as evil as the many we fight on a foreign land.
This is a fight to save our country from within. During these very difficult times we must hear from you with a sense of urgency...we need to drown out those destructive voices with all our voices, again and again...loud voices...and especially your voice - that voice of strength and steel.
We will stand with you...we will continue to fight for you and with you. Now is the time for another of your shining moments. We want you to be who you are...and not for what others want you to be....
