A 2012 Address

A 2012 Address

Eleven score and eight years ago our fathers brought forth on

this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty,

and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great struggle between Liberty and

and communism, testing whether this nation, or any nation so

conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a

great battlefield of the mind and heart of that struggle.

We have come to dedicate ourselves as the final line of protection

against the godless menace of communism for all those who have given

their lives for this nation. It is altogether fitting and proper that

we should do this.

But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate

this struggle. The brave men and women who struggled before us and

are yet struggling, have consecrated it, far above our poor

power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long

remember what we say here, but it can never forget what those man and

women have done for our freedoms. It is for us the living, rather, to

be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought for us have

thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated

to the great task remaining before us—that from our honored dead we

take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the

last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that

these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation,

under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that

government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall

not perish from the earth.

With Thanks to Abraham Lincoln

  Mr. Obama:

    

  I  have had it with you and your administration, sir.  Your   conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.

You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated  the responsibilities of the President of the United States of  America. You are responsible to the citizens of the United States. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.

I personally resent  that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their  status in the world.  Sir, what do you think the First World  War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the  peoples of  Europe ?  Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about?  Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century? 

   

    Where  do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country?  Have you not  read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ?  This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage.   Do you not  understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans.  Our President does not bow down  to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia ….You didn’t show Great Britain, our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia .. How dare you, sir! How dare you!

You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want  to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey. You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from  themselves. What’s the matter with you? I am convinced that  you and the members of your administration have the historical and  intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of  yourselves, all of you.

You are so self-righteously offended  by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and  the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them?  Anything? I seriously doubt it.

 

What about the U.S. House  members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members  on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers  gave themselves?  I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus.  I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with  my  employer. You haven’t said anything about that.  Who authorized  that?  I surely didn’t!

Executives at Fannie Mae and  Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an  eighteen-month period, that’s $45 million more than the AIG  bonuses.  In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million not a bad take.  Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now?

I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do.  We are  watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up  with all of you. 

I also want you to know that I  personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive  to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.

    

Sincerely,

(signed)
