I'm a little angry right now, but to my credit, I managed to remain calm while penning a letter to the POTUS. Well, more like a secretary who passes, or doesn't, these things around. I don't know why I'm sharing this other then to just do so. Maybe it will help me feel better, but I haven't felt better for a long time. I'm tired and if you've seen some of my recent comments, you can tell. Generally, I like to make pithy little comments, rarely throwing bombs into the discussion. Lately, I've been throwing grenades. That's not entirely true, but I'm less opposed to the flame wars now and that leaves me sad. So maybe I'm posting this to get it off my chest. Or maybe I want someone to tell me it gets better. Or maybe I just want to rant. Anyway, jump the Kos-de-lis for my response to my President. I look forward to hearing you tell me to grow up.
Sir, I feel the need to say something that will make me feel better because listening to you doesn't. A small minority is trying to burn this country to the ground and you handed them the match. You can talk about bipartisanship all you like, but all compromise isn't good compromise. The republicans are trying to cause real pain to real people and you aren't helping. There is so much I'd like to say, but I'm so angry with you right now that I don't have the words. I know I'll never get a response from you or your cracker jack team, but rest assured you'll have my vote, but you'll never get my support. Not anymore. You are the best republican president since Reagan and that isn't a compliment. And one more thing; just one. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are a trust between the people and it's government. I have paid into it and do not like hearing it called an entitlement. You may want to give that money to Wall Street, but I would rather it go to the people who paid into it all their working lives. What do you stand for, because I can't tell and I can't defend you any longer. I am so very disappointed in you. Not that you care.
Thanks for letting me vent. Feel free to flame away in comments. I may be watching.
