Dear Mr. President

October 13, 2011

Please put a blanket over the supposed Iran bomb plot. By now most people have figured out that it is a sham plot that would have gone nowhere without the help of the FBI. Even with the help of Fox News your people don't have the media chops to turn this into the next WMD scare. Besides all this you are supposed to be ending your two shitty little wars. And the people of our country have no stomach for starting a new war that only benefits a pair of really crappy allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Please let this stupid interlude die quietly and move on. Have you seen the latest Onion video about you? That is what you should be doing. Then you would be popular.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Dear Mr President

October 5, 2011

It has been a while since I last wrote you about your shitty little war in Afghanistan. In that time one can imagine most decent God fearing men would have realized the folly of that war. You have managed to keep getting people killed for no good reason. You are also continuing to waste money at a time when you don't that a Congress that will open the purse for you. All things considered, the only ones who are benefiting from your shitty little war are the Merchants of Death. Pity they can't hire more people to help the economy recover.

Thursday, September 8, 2011

Dear Mr. President

September 8, 2011

Just wanted to give you a few words of encouragement before the speech tonight. Don't worry about not going big, no one expects much from a small man. I hope you can find a way to put some sizzle in what Speaker Boehner and his little buddy allow you to say.

You know that if we stop creating jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan we will be better able to create some at home. Ending you shitty little war in Afghanistan might require the Merchants of Death to survive on shorter rations than they have in the past but that would be good for all of us. Imagine how many teachers one less non flying F-35 could pay for.

Sunday, August 14, 2011

Dear Mr. President

August 14, 2011

Those of your advisers who currently tell you to worry about the deficit should be fired immediately. They are doing you no good. People may worry about the deficit because they have no jobs. JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. If you were to show some leadership and fight for any and all jobs programs your Democratic allies in the Congress could put forth, you could win re-election on your own and not with a protest vote against Republican anarchy.

And another thing that is more important to real people than the deficit. End your shitty little war in Afghanistan now, Karzai has stolen enough money to pay for his own merc army if he needs protection. And remember, we have already paid for it, we don't need to continue paying.

Friday, August 12, 2011

Dear Mr. President

August 12, 2011

What a quaint idea, having the voters scold the Republican/Teabaggers into supporting you. Why not be a Leader and give us some targets to concentrate our efforts? Scattershot efforts at all who get in range won't have the necessary effect.

And speaking of leadership, how about declaring an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Just think how many good Americans would still be alive if you had done so when you took office instead of listening to the Big Brass Assholes in the Pentagon. It sure would be nice if you would conciliate the voting public on this one.

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Dear Mr. President

August 10, 2011

I have been reading a number of pundits lately criticizing your lack of leadership and even detailing that lack. If you really are trying to get re-elected, don't you think YOU should be the one setting the narrative? If you continue to let others define you and then reinforce those definitions by what you say and do, you will have an uphill battle to re-up in 2012.

On the leadership front how about stopping this 2 more years in Iraq nonsense. You will just waste more money and US lives for no purpose. And speaking of no purpose, your shitty little war has long passed its reason to be. And when your field commanders have been there so long they have forgotten the lessons of previous wars. The commanders who sent a Chinook helo into a hot LZ need to be thrown out of the Army. It is time to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan before you waste more money and lives.

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Dear Mr. President

August 6, 2011
Congratulations, 31 Americans dead for no good reason in your shitty little war in Afghanistan. What a way to celebrate your birthday, ripping the hearts out of 31 families. Hope you enjoyed your birthday. Perhaps next year you can celebrate by giving back to the country the $Billions you are currently pissing away in your shitty little war.

One more thing sir, could you please tell the big brass assholes in the Pentagon to stop trying to force Iraq to ask us to stay. If Iraq needs training they can hire private contractors. If Iraq needs protection they can hire mercs. We don't need to waste any more in that country.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Dear Mr. President

August 3, 2011

While you were busy with the debt ceiling, the Imperialist faction in your government has forced the Iraqi government to discuss inviting the US military to stay in Iraq for an unknown longer term. Please stop these talks now and just bring all the troops home. If the Iraqis need protection or training, let them hire Blackwater or some other merc organization. Most of them are ex-US military anyway.

It is bad enough you chose to own the shitty little war in Afghanistan, don't let the same thing happen in Iraq. We don't need no stinking empire.

Monday, July 25, 2011

Dear Mr. President

July 25, 2011

According to you meatheads in Washington, we need to cut expenses. Also according to continuing investigations, we are a major source of financing for the Taliban through bribes to allow supplies to get through. And many US military are reluctant to upset the systems because it keeps the beans & bullets arriving where needed.

To a normal person, this would be a clarion call to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Most Americans do not want to support the Taliban when they try to kill our family and friends. Most Americans do want to save Medicare and Social Security because it does save our family and friends.

Do you see a pattern here?

Sunday, July 24, 2011

Dear Mr President

July 24, 2011

You sure have got yourself in a fine pickle. After ignoring jobs, jobs and more jobs which is all people want you and the Republicans to work on, you are less than a year away from the re-election campaign and on the verge of pushing the economy into a second Depression. Either you fail to raise the debt limit which pushes the economy right into it or you get your "Grand Bargain" and take $3 Trillion out of the economy which removes the last feeble support there was and we all slip back into Depression. Danmit sir, you are one hell of a negotiator.

Perhaps you should turn your efforts to negotiating a long term continuation of your shitty little war in Afghanistan. With your mad skilz we could have everyone home by Christmas and save half the spending you want to cut.

Whaddaya say Mr. President? About time for you to earn that Peace Prize.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Dear Mr. President,

July 20, 2011

I was just reading about your efforts to make our presence in Iraq permanent. This is a hugely bad idea and you can believe that the cement heads in the Pentagon and State are pushing their own interests over those of the nation. Some may say that after 8 years the Iraqi security forces still need training. If this is so, they can spend some of their oil money to hire Blackwater or one of the other private mercenary armies to do so. You have a whole lot of nation building to do in your own country, you can't afford to waste US lives and treasure halfway around the world. This would also be a good time to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. All the same reasons for leaving Iraq apply to Afghanistan. The alternative would be to return your Nobel Peace Prize because you failed to work for peace.

Sunday, July 17, 2011

Dear Mr. President

July 17, 2011

When you meet with the Dalai Lama, do you think about there being two Nobel Peace Prize laureates in the room but only he deserved his? When you call for shared sacrifice do you have trouble not laughing, knowing that neither you nor the old white men you are working with will be making any sacrifice. Nor will the people who have bought you.

You just gave a Medal of Honor to a brave man who sacrificed his hand to save his buddies fighting in your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Would you or anybody in Washington make one tenth that level of sacrifice for anybody but your self?

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Dear Mr. President

July 16, 2011

Now that research has shown that the projected shortfall of Medicare over the next 75 years is 1/4 the amount wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan, you have a clear reason to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan, bring everyone home from Iraq and stop trying to kill the only effective health insurance plan this country has. I swear it is very disconcerting to watch you get giggly with delight at the thought of slashing Medicare and Social Security. In addition to the millions of Americans you intend to harm, it is sad to think that the only people who would approve of this measure will never, ever vote for a black man or a Democrat.

Friday, July 15, 2011

Dear Mr. President

July 15, 2011

Now aren't you a right proper evil doer. You, who have the guaranteed best medical care for the rest of your days, sit in a room with a bunch of old white men who also have the guaranteed best medical care for the rest of their days, and scheme how to take away what inadequate medical coverage the seniors of this country still have. Those people who accused you of not being a christian have no idea how right they are. But you are not alone, that same lack of christianity is shared by those you deal in these trumped up negotiations. Jesus said, as you do unto these the least of my people so you do unto me. You and the boys in these meetings say, how much more can we take from these who have the least. All of you wouldn't last a snap in the presence of the Lord.

I am only now realizing how your willingness to continue your shitty little war in Afghanistan and never leave Iraq should have shown me the hollowness of your soul.

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

Dear Mr. President

July 12, 2011

Have you heard of Central Falls, RI? The city is about to go bankrupt because they did not properly fund their pension fund. This should be an example to all you political types. When you make a contract with people you have to maintain your end of the deal. Republicans break their word, Americans don't. If the Republicans won't consider tax increases then you have to remove Medicare and Social Security from the table. And if they do agree to revenue increases then you have to replace Medicare & SSI with defense cuts and more tax increases, like the voting public wants you to do.

You often speak of shared sacrifice, how about you publicly offer to slash congressional pensions and put in place a large buy in so you folks can have some skin in the game?

PS: Don't forget to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring home our targets in Iraq.

Monday, July 11, 2011

Dear Mr. President

July 11, 2011

I see that despite the Republican attempts to pull away the football, you are still going for the Big Deal. Lord knows why you people cocooned in DC think the deficit is important when no one has a job, but if you must continue, please do it with tax hikes and defense cuts.

I didn't vote for you so you could take away my Medicare and Social Security. I voted for you to create an environment that would create jobs. Instead you give tax cuts to people who failed to create jobs. Mr. President, no one ever rewarded me when I failed but if you want to, you have my address.

Speaking of failure, please get us completely out of Iraq and end you shitty little war in Afghanistan now. What part of "going nowhere" is hard for you DC people to understand?

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 29, 2011

I remember back in 2008 when you ran for office as a Democrat. When did you decide to switch parties? I know you have not announced it but how else do you explain your willingness to slash Medicare when the public is strongly opposed to that. Why would you give up the tool that will allow you to crush the Republican party if you weren't already a member? And your request to extend the SSI tax reduction is absolutely ridiculous. It does not help the economy but it does weaken the most successful government program, ever. And it has nothing to do with deficit, which most Americans really don't care much about. They do care about their retirement and don't like watching self-important people try to steal it from them by deceitful means.

Out here in the real world, most Americans would prefer if you took Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security off the table and replaced those proposed cuts with an equal or greater amount in Defense cuts. You know, like cutting your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Remember, we are the ones you want to vote for you in 2012. Don't think any Republicans will ever do so.

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 28, 2011

You told Rep Waxman that your words carry weight. How about you use some of that weight to take Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security off the negotiating table. If the evil GOP won't give you tax increases, you won't destroy the safety net. Perhaps even better, to replace the Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security cuts, you can offer up 2 times the amount in Defense cuts. How could they refuse a chance to double their savings? And you could end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. too.

Mr. President there are lots of good places to cut, not that cuts are a good idea in this economy. One thing you shouldn't do is take those cuts out of the hides of the people you want to vote for you in 2012. You seem to think we will forget.

Sunday, June 26, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 26, 2011

It appears that in your concentration on your shitty little war in Afghanistan you have overlooked the end of George W's shitty little war in Iraq. The Iraqis really do not want us there and some have resumed attacking the troops. The rest of the country isn't about to stop them. This would be a good time to announce an early withdrawal of the remaining troops. By hanging on to the absolute end you merely insure that more US troops will die in vain. Their blood will be on your hands because their deaths serve no purpose. Isn't it time you acted like a leader instead of a follower?

Friday, June 24, 2011

Dear Mr President

June 24, 2011

Now that mini Leader Cantor has walked out of the budget negotiations, this is a good time for you to reset things by pulling all your Medicare/Medicaid cuts off the table. No good Democrat should ever agree to those, let the Republicans kill themselves on that sword. And for God's sake, get your people out there condemning the Republicans for not negotiating in good faith and trying to destroy the country and its credit. We don't want a bipartisn solution, we want a president who will fight, kick ass and make Republicans grovel.

And while you are at it, tell us how you have changed your mind about your shitty little war and you will bring all the troops home by the end of the year. Iraq, too.

PS. To get ready for the Great Republican Default, have Sec. Geithner suspend payment of Congressional salaries. It's about time he did something useful.

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Dear Mr President

June 23, 2011

I see that Little Eric Cantor has ended talks about the debt limit and said that you and the Great Orange Boehner have to come to a decision on this. Obviously there is only one possible choice, a clean debt bill. And the Great Orange Speaker better act quickly while you can still influence some Democrats to vote with him for passage.

Remember, a clean bill for the limit because as long as you continue your shitty little war in Afghanistan you don't need distractions. No warlord does.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Dear Mr President

June 22, 2011

Can being a warlord really be so much fun that you need to leave so many good Americans in harms way for no good reason? Just think sir, of all the people who will be wounded, maimed and die because you were not man enough to say 10 years is too much and anymore is just plain folly.

Your shitty little war in Afghanistan is wrong and the goal you seek is a chimera. You can still change your mind and declare your goal of 10,000 troops withdrawn to be a monthly goal. That would be what a real American president would do. The waste of lives and treasure will damage this country deeply and you are the only one who can accept the blame for this. Shame on you for choosing this course.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 21, 2011

Well, you have probably made your decision on how many lives you will save by bringing them home and how many you will condemn to death by continuing their presence in your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Now you are just polishing up that turd so we will buy it. Trouble is, we can't afford it no matter how much polish you put on it. If, after you bring the first 3000 troops home, you continue to bring home 3000 or more each month until only Karzai of the Afghans is left, that will be good.

Mr. President, you are not a warlord. And you don't get to be a warlord by practicing with your shitty little war. And you can't run the shitty little war by listening to your generals. After 10 years they have made it clear they can't run a war either.

Save lives. Save money. Bring them all home now.

Sunday, June 19, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 19, 2011

I hope this Fathers Day you will be listening to those who recommend a rapid troop withdrawal from your shitty little war. I know you are proud of your shitty little war and fancy yourself a great warlord, but if you are in any way a true christian, today would be a good day to think about bringing back all those fathers, sons and daughters from harms way. And don't overlook the Forgotten Ones in Iraq.

Al-Qaeda has been reduced to a small gang of thugs better handled by police efforts. And the Taliban is an Afghan problem, let Karzai of the Afghans deal with them.

Thursday, June 16, 2011

Dear Mr President

June 16, 2011

It was nice of General Petraeus to give you options for your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Now is the time for you to give him the only answer that will get you re-elected in 2012. Get our army out of that shithole as quickly as logistically possible. We can not afford to waste more lives and money on a fool's errand. And don't forget the sacrificial lambs you left in Iraq. Get them out, too.

You are not an emperor and we are not an empire. It is time this country grew up and stopped wasting money pretending to be something we aren't.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 15, 2011

I really wish you had the intelligence and courage to be the first Democratic president since Woodrow Wilson to end a war without trying to extend The Great American Empire. With your JCS Chairman and others saying we will never leave you shitty little war in Afghanistan, I guess they have you buffaloed with their piles of statistics and brave words. The unanswered question is how do you complete the mission in a war that has no mission? A war whose only purpose is to kill Americans and drain the Treasury.

Robert MacNamara realized that Viet Nam was a mistake in the sixties but did not publicly admit that until many years later. Is this what we can expect from you? Thirty years on you making an apology to all the people needlessly slaughtered because you had not the courage or wit to end your shitty little war.

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 14, 2011

Congratulations! Eight US soldiers killed so far this month, in Iraq. Their useless deaths are the result of you having neither the wit nor the will to get out of that sand trap. Add them together with the useless deaths coming from your shitty little war in Afghanistan and you will have a lot of blood on your hands when you are done. If only you could truly justify this foolish waste to the families and the country that are paying the price of your belief that you are a great warlord who will succeed and impress the Republicans.

Mr. President as long as you are black you will never impress the Republicans.

Saturday, June 11, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 11, 2011

The idea that the private sector will create jobs when there is no demand for the goods and services those jobs will provide is a chimera that only a Republican could love. No business man is going to risk losing his business to hire people he does not need. And you are mistaken about the government, it does create jobs. And when those people cash their paychecks they create the demand that businesses need. Something that all those tax cuts can not do.

Another thing that creates jobs is ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bringing ALL the troops home including those you left to die in Iraq. You will then have lots of money to spend on US nation building and creating jobs and demand.

Friday, June 10, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 10, 2011

I read about your idea for another trimming of the payroll tax. That is a brilliant idea if you are a Republican looking to damage Social Security. For a Democrat it is one mother of a dumb idea. The supply side in this economy does not need any more boosting. Ask most businessmen and they will tell you what they need is demand for their products and demand comes from people with jobs and money to spend. Without jobs you will have a lot of people saying why should we reelect Obama. True you might get some of those people if you declared an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and told Leon Panetta that we will not keep US troops in Iraq after December. But their numbers won't be nearly enough to rescue you from your own deficit folly.

All this is a long winded way of saying you need to put forward jobs plans of every size and shape except as tax cuts. See, that's not too hard.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Dear Mr President

June 8, 2011

I heard that when Sen Reid asked for a higher dollar amount than you did, you criticized him for doing so. DUMB MOVE. This close to the election Republicans always cut too much and Democrats just want to do what is best for their fellow citizens. As it was for a jobs program he was doing you a favor. The deficit is a Republican chimera and you deserve a few tut-tuts for buying into it.

You need to put forth any and every jobs program you can, no matter how big or small or liberal it may be. The Republicans won't let you have any of them but you need to be seen as making the effort, you know, trying. And just to keep the Republicans on their toes, don't forget to declare an end to your sitty little war in Afghanistan and bring all the troops home this year. Mr Karzai will understand.

Monday, June 6, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 6, 2011

As your National Security Council debates how to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan, I hope you will not defer to your military commanders. The purpose of the military is to waste as many lives and money as possible for the greater glory of their leaders. One of your prime functions is to keep them on a short leash, obedient to you. You and the country will be better off if you drawdown the troops as quickly as possible to end this shitty little war. Karzai of the Afghans has stolen more than enough US aid to buy all the Blackwater bully boys he wants. And don't forget to bring home the leftover 50,000 in Iraq. They don't want us and we don't belong there.

Better yet, close all US overseas bases and bring all the troops home. We are not an empire.

Sunday, June 5, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 5, 2011

Secretary Gates says that we should not withdraw troops from Afghanistan and we should continue to waste good lives and money for no good reason. Need I remind you that Bob Gates is a long term Republican. For all the good service he may have given you, with an election approaching he probably would not hesitate to trip you up with bad advice. The best way to avoid the worst of what he might do is to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan now. I doubt even John Kerry could tell you how you ask someone to be the last person to die for a mistake.

Saturday, June 4, 2011

Dear Mr. President

June 4, 2011

Various Republicans have recently stated that they will willingly destroy the economy of the United States if you don't give them everything they want in the budget. Your first sign they were not serious about negotiating should have been when they took tax increases off the table. This would be a very good time to tell the GOP that all budget negotiations will cease until they pass a clean debt limit bill. And don't forget the PR blitz to inform the public of Republican efforts to damage out country for cheap political points. You said you were a good negotiator, now is the time to prove that you won't always give away the store.

And as long as you are doing what is right, how about ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan. It kills too many Americans for no good reason and it costs too much. Retire those people who want us to stay and put your own people in place, finally.

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 31, 2011

It is time for you to stand firm and call the Republicans bluff on the debt ceiling. They have already told their buddies on Wall St. that they will raise the limit. Those of us you want to vote for you next year need you to refuse any benefit cuts for Medicare and Medicaid. Killing Medicare is the Republicans baby, no Democrat should move an inch to give them any respectability.

And don't forget to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. That is another position where you would have the majority of Americans on your side. You know, the ones you want to vote for you.

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 25, 2011

There are at least 100 Republicans walking free and bragging about their crimes and the best your Department of Justice can come up with is an indictment of John Edwards? If they do indict him, it should come at the same time that John Ensign is indicted for the same crime. If this doesn't happen, you should send one of your staff enforcers over to DoJ to kick ass and take names because they do not appear to understand the requirements of the job.

And don't forget to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. That is one injustice you can correct all by yourself.

Dear Mr. Vice President

May 25, 2011

Now that Kathy Hochul and the NY-26 District have shown what a powerful weapon Medicare cuts is for bashing Republican, I hope you will remove any agreements about Medicare from your budget deal. The Republicans will understand, it is something they would do in your shoes. And more importantly, any Democrat that makes deal to reduce Medicare benefits in any way is throwing away the perfect tool to hammer the Republicans into the ground like a tent peg. Please don't be the one to do so.

If you need a budget sacrifice, get your boss to end his shitty little war in Afghanistan. That would be a great way to save money.

Saturday, May 21, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 21, 2011

When are you going to get the Voting Rights Division of the Dept of Justice involved in protecting voting rights in Republican controlled states. The various voter ID laws they are passing are no better than the Jim Crow laws of the post Civil War South. You need to make the public aware that the only voter fraud happening is being done by the Republicans voter suppression efforts. And those efforts are aimed at your voters.

And while you are doing so, you can declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Doing that will save us enough money to finance the DoJ investigations and still let AG Holder play with medical marijuana prosecutions.

Thursday, May 19, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 19, 2011

In your Middle East speech you ask, "How can one negotiate with a party that has shown itself unwilling to recognize your right to exist?" Heck, Mr. President you do that everytime you sit down with the Republicans. And they displayed their unwillingness again with the nomination of Goodwin Liu. They can't allow a liberal judge but it is OK with them if suggest a damned activist conservative judge. Time to take off the gloves. With Sec. Geithner making adjustments because of the debt limit, may I suggest that you begin by halting funding for all Republican earmarks and any funds going to states with a Republican governor. We have to save money somewhere. And speaking of saving. Now would be a good time for you to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring them home now and save money and lives.

Monday, May 16, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 15, 2011

Stay strong on the debt ceiling. Let the Republican ship of fools run aground on the steadfast rock of your righteous position. May I also suggest that if you need to withhold 1 payment to make another that you withhold all funds due to Republican districts and states. Let them be the first to howl at what they wrought. Also, if you can't pay for it you can declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring the troops home, save the money and improve our security.

Sunday, May 15, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 15, 2011

Please sir, No Concession on the debt ceiling. If you give in to the Republican blackmail you will have conceded all power to them. At that point might as well resign and go back to Illinois. I will support you in the risk because if the Republicans make good on their threat, they will effectively destroy the party. It is a shame that so soon after you eliminated Osama bin Laden, the minority party has taken up his cudgel and is carrying on with his efforts to destroy America. Too bad you can't send SEAL Team 6 to take out Boehner, McConnell & Cantor.

Had you ended your shitty little war in Afghanistan when you had the chance, you might have avoided this problem. It may not be too late.

Saturday, May 14, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 14, 2011

The John Ensign scandal presents a wonderful opportunity to do further damage to the Republican brand and get rid of that sanctimonious Dr. No, Tom Coburn. The Dept of Justice has already run away from it once but now that the Senate has done the grunt work for you perhaps you could encourage Attorney General Holder to actually have his people do what they were hired to do. You might even clear out that nest of sedition and tax evasion, the C Street House.

If this is too much work for you and Mr. Holder, then please just declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Then you can let the Army do all the work for you. I am sure the troops would be happy to help with the packing.

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Dear Mr. President,

May 11, 2011

I realize you and your staff may have been distracted lately so I want to bring your attention to a stealthy danger to you and our country. More and more Republican governed states are passing laws to restrict who can vote in elections. Wisconsin GOP is so desperate to restrict who can vote that it is pushing the law through the legislature as if it were an emergency bill. This would be a good time to have Attorney General Holder stop chasing little medical marijuana shops and start looking into voter rights violations. And start soon because Goodling's leftover Bushies will do all they can to slow you down.

To keep the GOP from knowing you are on to them, I suggest you declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. It would totally distract the GOP and it would be no loss to our country. The real loss is continuing your shitty little war.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 10, 2011

The Speaker is playing chicken again, this time with the debt ceiling. It is time for you to stop pandering to this drunken bum. Tell him you require a clean bill on the ceiling. Everything else, including tax hikes are on the table once he starts acting like an adult. And while you are at it, declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. As long as you are going to make cuts, you should start with the biggest area of waste in the budget, Afghanistan and Iraq. Bring them all home now.

Monday, May 9, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 9, 2011

On taking office you chose to look forward rather than prosecute the criminal element of the previous administration. As a result you now have these criminals pretending that torture works and getting the less intelligent part of the population to believe them. Now we have the former VP declaring you should try it yourself. This is your chance to kill two birds with one stone. If you indict and arrest the torture crew, you can send them to Gitmo for a little waterboarding. Not only will this give you the confessions you need, but if some judge throws out the case, justice will still have been done.

And while you are doing this, you can declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. The former VP says we should stay there and we know he has never been right about what to do over there.

Sunday, May 8, 2011

Dear Mr President

May 8, 2011

Many people have been calling for you to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Today, the best reason yet to leave was given on Fox "News". Dick Cheney says we should stay. That should be a clarion call to end our presence there as soon as possible, because Dick hasn't been right since we were on the gold standard.

Now that Osama is dead, the troops in your shitty little war have no mission. Don't waste our time and money and their lives dreaming up a new one, just bring them home with a great big parade and tell the world you won another one. It is what a real leader would do.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 4, 2011

Even a skinny guy like you knows the effect you have on the bath water when you get in. The US is not a "skinny guy" country, we a a "fat ass nation". When we get in a nation's bathtub we really disturb the water. We did that 9 years ago in Afghanistan chasing Osama bin Laden. Well we got OBL, in Pakistan, so it is now time to leave your shitty little war in Afghanistan. We may not like what the Taliban does but we can not with a straight face tell them what to do in their own country. All the more so when we are backing a fraud and embezzlement king like Karzai of the Afghans.

End your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring everybody home. If the various members of the Military-Industrial-Complex feel the need to continue the war, let them fund it themselves.

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 3, 2011

We went into Afghanistan to get Osama. Your predecessor let him escape so he could start another war in Iraq. We got Osama and the Iraqis are fully capable of running their own country. Even though you have claimed ownership of the shitty little war in Afghanistan, this would be a very good time to declare success and bring everyone home. Bring Everyone Home. It will do no good to leave elements behind as a token of empire, they will just be targets for people who want their country back.

End your shitty little war while you have wide spread approval. Better yet bring all troops in foreign postings home. We can't afford an empire anymore.

Sunday, May 1, 2011

Dear Mr. President

May 1, 2011

Congratulations on the killing of Osama bin Laden. Can we now end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring the troops home from there and from Iraq?

No need to wait, bring them home now.

Dear Mr. President

May 1, 2011

I read in the NY Times that Afghanistan is getting just like us, it is also unable to finish infrastructure projects. There is one major difference, in the US we don't have the money to finish projects. All the money we need seems to be going to tax cuts for the wealthy and to pay for your shitty little war in Afghanistan.

It is time to end your shitty little war and why stop there. End all overseas military deployments. Spend our money at home and create jobs for Americans. We don't need no stinking empire.

Saturday, April 30, 2011

Dear Mr President

April 30, 2011

How nice of you to blast the oil companies for profiting from a situation of someone else's creation. You know that if you were to put pressure on the CFTC to complete their rules making, including necessary limitations to trading physical product only, you would have a greater effect on gas prices than anything else you can do. Sure you would probably lose half of the Billion dollars you need for your re-election. The upside is that when the prices drop, if you and your people get out of DC and explain it to the voters, you will gain more votes than that half a Billion could buy. Only more jobs or declaring an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan would get you more votes.

Friday, April 29, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 30, 2011

Your ineffective Department of Homeland Security spends a lot of time deporting people who want to work hard and make this a better country. Why don't you tell them to look for the real menace to America and have them deport people like Orly Taitz? Revoking her citizenship would be the second best thing you could do for this country. Declaring an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan would be the best thing you could do.

Thursday, April 28, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 28, 2011

It sure looks the Republicans, led by their Mighty Midget Eric Cantor, plan to lard on all manner of junk on a debt ceiling bill. You should declare unequivocally that you will veto anything that is not a clean bill. Anything else is mixing apples and oranges and you will not let the GOP sneak in a lot of earmarks on a necessary bill. And as long as you are taking principled stands, you can declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan, fire Petraeus and bring all the troops home. It would be a blessing for the country.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 27, 2011

Rumors are flying that you will put Gen. Petraeus in as head of the CIA. It was bad enough that you bought into your shitty little war in Afghanistan and then put him in charge, Now you plan to promote him for his failure to win in your shitty little war. Mr. President, your habit of adopting Republican policies may work for you most of the time, but the Republican policy of promoting failure is one you should avoid like the plague. Just retire Gen. Petraeus and declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring the troops home and guarantee your re-election.

Monday, April 25, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 25, 2011

You are hitting a rough patch here. People who are getting screwed by fuel prices are pissed at you because you won't stop the speculators who are driving up the price for their personal profit. I can understand your position, expecting as you do the campaign contributions of the bankers who are profiting by screwing your voters. But now, to add insult to injury, people think you are doing a lousy job running your shitty little war. Now is the time to declare an end to your shitty little war. The troops will be coming home in time to make a lot of happy families at election time.

Two things you can do to improve your position with voters and only one that might cost you major funding. Go for it Mr. President.

Friday, April 22, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 22, 2011

I just read that someone in your Administration wants to keep 10,000 troops in Iraq. You should fire whoever came up with that hairball idea. 10K is too few to do any good, but just right to be a big target. They will serve nobody any good except those who want to go back into Iraq. If we can't afford LIHEAP and EPA and IRS and AMTRAK and all the other programs you want to cut, we can not afford an empire either.

It would be much better if you brought the troops home from Iraq this summer instead of waiting. And then you can declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. No one has a responsible end game for that disaster so you might as well create your own endgame by declaration. It would be as good as any other and serve our country better.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 20, 2011

Now that the Army is removing the allegedly most capable commander (Rodriguez) from Afghanistan in hopes of finding another general who can put some lipstick on that pig, there is no better time to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. More and more the public no longer wants your shitty little war. Now we have the Army giving up on winning instead hoping to "sell" your shitty little war to the public for their own ends.

End it now and save the lives and money we can no longer afford to waste.

Monday, April 18, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 18, 2011

Please stop talking about a deal with Social Security and stop you people from doing so, as well. Unless you are going to remove the FICA income cap there is no need to deal until we, the people can weed out the lunatics currently besmirching Congress.

If you really need to make some big savings, forget about staying in Iraq and bring them home early. And declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring them home this year. Reallocation of all those defense dollars would do a lot of good.

Saturday, April 16, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 16, 2011

The easiest and quickest way to cut defense spending, now that you have killed John Boehner's second jet engine, is to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring the troops home from Iraq AND Afghanistan this summer, don't wait. Don't waste lives, don't waste money.

Friday, April 15, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 16, 2011

You really do have to hold out for a clean bill on the debt limit. The Speaker and his gang do not want to risk default for some hairball ideas. Get on the phone to your Wall St. buddies and have them start squeezing the Republicans, after all they have more to lose than anyone else.

When it comes to cutting Defense, the easiest way would be to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Also bring ALL the troops home from Iraq earlier than year end. The Iraqis are big boys, they can screw up their country on their own.

Thursday, April 14, 2011

Dear Mr President

April 14, 2011

I read that one of your aides, Plouffe the Goof suggested you might accepts a lees than clean deficit limit bill. That is a very bad idea, all the more so now that Speaker Boehner has shown his weakness. Better to have Timmy Geithner get his Wall St. buddies bludgeon the GOP into doing the right thing on the debt ceiling. They bought those Republicans, let them control their puppets.

You, on the other hand, can show your greatness by declaring an end to your shitty little war. It would save lives, which you folks in DC don't seem to care about and it would save money which seems to be all that you do care about.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 13, 2011

Nice speech. Now comes the hard part, pushing Congress to the left of where you began, out where the majority of Americans are. Your position is the least we expect and leaves you no room for compromise, as if the Republicans had any intention to compromise. Please, Mr President, bring DC back to America.

And you forgot to say that you will end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring out troops home where they can do some good.

Dear Mr. President

April 13, 2011

You probably have your speech all neatly written up by now, but I still hope you will present the most progressive and liberal budget imaginable. Everyone knows you will concede a huge amount to the Republicans so you should start with some slack.

Take Social Security off the table. It is stable for a good many years so we can wait until we get rid of the lunatics in Congress.

We know you want to cut Medicare/Medicaid, but please, please never say the word cut. Propose all manner of fixes and patches but let the Republicans be the only ones who say the word CUT. Give a fellow Democrats a means to pound the Republicans into the ground like a tent peg.

And this would be a great time to declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. The money saved can be put to much better uses.

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Dear Mr President

April 12, 2011

There are all manner of rumors floating about your speech tomorrow, some quite creative. There are two points that should be true. One, take Social Security off the table. It needs some adjustment but that can wait until we get the lunatics out of Congress and a better negotiator in the White House. Two, you should propose all kinds of fixes for Medicare but absolutely NO CUTS. Let the Republicans propose any cuts to Medicare. Let them offer their political throats to be cut, not yours.

And one more point, to complete your budget picture you should bring the troops home from Iraq immediately and declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan so you can bring those troops home by year end.

Monday, April 11, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 11, 2011

By now your budget proposal is locked in to the Beltway wisdom that massive cuts are needed. This is not true but I guess since you and all the others involved already have your piece of the pie you have no concern for all the Americans who will suffer and some will die because of them. Still, if you can, you should embrace the ideas set forth in the Congressional Progressive Caucus' budget proposals. They are the first grown up proposals I have heard in a long time listening to DC.

About the only thing better would be to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring the troops home with their comrades in Iraq.

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 10, 2011

I have been following the various budget discussions in Congress and the media and everybody says tough decisions have to be made and people have to accept tough choices. My question to you is when will the Republicans be forced into making tough choices? So far it has been all Democrats making tough choices and I need not remind you that it was Democrats and like minded Independents that elected you, not the Republicans.

And one more thing, I know how much you hate to fight but if you don't fight to save Social Security from any cuts or other diminishing of its benefits you will destroy the base you need for re-election. The only thing Social Security needs is the removal of the FICA income cap. That should be your position set in stone.

Dear Mr. President

April 10, 2011

With the debt ceiling approaching, we again see the Republicans planning to hold the country hostage to their extreme agenda. And history has shown us that all we can expect from you is for you to collapse like a cheap card table when the pressure is on. A quick and easy way to get down under the limit would be to end Bush's shitty little war in Iraq and your shitty little war in Afghanistan. The people of both countries have made it clear that they do not want us in their countries so please stop sending Leftover Sec. of Defense Gates to try and change their minds. And with Gen. Petraeus about to retire, who is left to sponsor your shitty little war? You can always fire those who make too much noise for war. If you end these two huge capital drains and start closing our other imperial outposts around the world, the money saved would allow you to fund all the necessary programs and still pay down the debt.

Please Mr. President, end your shitty little wars now, we can't afford an empire.

Friday, April 8, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 8, 2011

The recent election for Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin looks like it will be very interesting. This would be a great time to send your re-election legal team to Wisconsin to get some first hand experience with Republican voter fraud. They will need that for 2012. And as long as the Republicans are going to shutdown the government, why not declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring them home and use the money saved to fund your Affordable Health Care Act. That is what a smart man would do.

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 5, 2011

Too bad about not being able to have the trial of KSM and friends in New York. But don't despair. There is nothing to stop you from transferring a civil court to Guantanamo so they can have a real trial. American history is replete with courts operating under the aegis of an American military compound. This way justice would be served. And while your Republican opponents howl their outrage at your move, you could quietly end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and save enough money to eliminate the need for any cuts. And don't forget to fire the generals who oppose ending your shitty little war. They won't be happy staying in the service anyway.

Monday, April 4, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 4, 2011

Anti-American rioting in major Afghan cities, Afghani trainees turning their guns on NATO troops, the majority of Americans wanting us to get out of your shitty little war. It looks like the only people who want your shitty little war are the Pentagon, the Karzais and you. If you call an end to your shitty little war right now, you could get on the right side of history, finally.

Sunday, April 3, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 2, 2011

Two US soldiers died in Iraq today. Two more good Americans who died in vain because you have not withdrawn all US soldiers from that country. Our troops serve no national security purpose in Iraq and we can no longer afford an empire. Bring them home early. And while you do so, declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring those soldiers home as well. Their presence in Iraq and Afghanistan only increases the amount of blood on your hands.

Saturday, April 2, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 2, 2011

The latest jobs report shows movement in the right direction but not enough to re-elect anybody in Washington. As your shitty little war, like Republican tax cuts does not qualify as a jobs program, may I suggest you end your shitty little war in Afghanistan, bring the troops home and do some nation building here in the US.

And one last thing, please give that idiot in Florida, Terry Jones, a one way ticket to Kabul to meet the people. It would be good for him.

Friday, April 1, 2011

Dear Mr. President

April 1, 2011

So now we have your predecessor speaking out for wasting more lives and money in fighting the shitty little war he began and you bought into. Given the fact that no part of his foreign policy was ever of any value to our country, this should be a clarion call to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. If you don't repatriate the monies we are wasting over there, your second term will preside over a shell of a country.

Thursday, March 31, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 31, 2011

The Washington Post says that you and your military commanders disagree on the size of the troop withdrawal this summer. The Petraeus Gang, in effect, does not want to withdraw anyone. You need not fight them, you are Commander-in-Chief. If they do not agree with you they can assume their new post in East Elephantbreath, Montana or begin to enjoy their retirement.

The easy way is to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and order them to bring everyone home with all deliberate speed. You can do it sir, you are the President.

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 29, 2011

Thanks in part to your unfortunate habit of caving in to Republicans before negotiations begin, the Republicans have now demanded that you pass a Balanced Budget Amendment before they will raise the debt ceiling. What a fine pickle you have gotten yourself into. There is an easy way out of this. You, as Commander in Chief with access to all information, need only declare that we have won in Afghanistan and you are bringing everybody home. That way you can bring Gen. Petraeus home so you can name him head of the CIA (Bad Idea!) and not have to name some loser to replace him.

Monday, March 28, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 28, 2011

The news reports of the Stryker Brigade "Kill Teams" are your My Lai Moment. You have the choice of letting the moral deterioration of our Armed Forces continue like a cancer unchecked or you end your shitty little war now and bring them home to rehabilitate those who can still be saved. The first choice involves a coverup and prosecution of the low level troops. The second requires an honest admission that the rot has entered our military and needs to be treated.

Which way will you go Mr. President?

Sunday, March 27, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 27, 2011

It was a wise man who said, "When the most powerful country ever to inhabit the earth finds it so easy to plunge into the horror of warfare but almost impossible to find adequate work for its people or to properly educate its young, it has lost its way entirely." Mr. President it is time for you to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. And you should question deeply the motives of anyone who tells you the war must continue.

Saturday, March 26, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 26, 2011

Another day another news report of NATO forces killing Afghan civilians. No one likes doing this so why don't you just declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Let Karzai and the Taliban kill Afghans instead of us doing it. It comes naturally to them and we have no business coming between brothers trying to kill each other.

Friday, March 25, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 25, 2011

Why are you and your administration working to water down any settlement with the perpetrators of the Great Mortgage Fraud? You have sided with them by keeping them out of jail, now a real leader would make them pay dearly for that benefice. But I forget. If you were a real leader you would have ended your shitty little war in Afghanistan long before now.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 23, 2011

Have you noticed how quickly you, personally and as part of the American power structure, will blow the crap out of other people yet you find it nearly impossible to provide succor and comfort to your fellow citizens. So easily do we spend $100 Million and more a week to blow up Libyans but you can not find the funds for LIHEAP, MEDICAID, Title X, SNAP and other programs that serve your own people. End your shitty little war in Afghanistan, bring ALL the troops home and turn the United States from a a country of War to a country of Compassion. The kind of country we were meant to be.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Dear Mr President

March 22, 2011

Now that Karzai of the Afghans has indicated the first seven areas to be turned over to Afghan control, I hope that when you do so you will consider the transfers as final with no returns. Despite what your Gen Petraeus may wish, DO NOT return to those areas under any circumstances. Mr Karzai and his family have stolen enough from the US and other donors to buy out anyone who would oppose him.

It would still be easier if you would just declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and left. You do not have the moral deficiency needed to continue pushing American exceptionalism.

Monday, March 21, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 21, 2011

Now is not the time to remain silent on Social Security. You must speak up, as Harry Reid did, and take it off the table,Period! I should think that Gov Walker of Wisconsin has shown clearly what a disaster arises from taking away from people what they rightly believe they have paid for. The Republicans only want to destroy the program and too many Democrats are easily bamboozled to rely on them. Now is the time to show firm leadership and take Social Security off the table. And while you are showing firm leadership, end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. You need the money for your shitty little war in Libya.

Sunday, March 20, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 20, 2011

It is not a good sign that you have begun a new "military mission" with no exit strategy. As you have shown with your shitty little war in Afghanistan, you are not able to recognize when there is no longer any possibility of a positive outcome. Even when others made the end of George W's shitty little war in Iraq clear, you weren't able to say, OK everybody out. Instead you drag your feet and look for a reason to hang around a few years longer.

Mr. President, you are almost as bad as Bloody Billy Kristol in wanting to get other people killed.

Friday, March 18, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 18, 2011

I hope you enjoy your trip to Brazil, too bad Michelle wouldn't let you go during Carnival. Speaking of which, you really should have given up your shitty little war in Afghanistan for Lent. It is not too late, just declare that we have won and bring everyone home. It is starting to look like you and the Pentagon are the only ones who want to continue your shitty little war. The Pentagon has a vested interest in continued killing, you don't. Please don't be the last one to come in from the cold.

Thursday, March 17, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 17, 2011

Now that you have UN permission to start another shitty little war in Libya, don't you think you should end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. I would hate to see you embarrass this nation like your predecessor did by not having enough military assets to conduct either shitty little war properly. Oh, and don't forget to get everyone out of Iraq as well. You do empire as poorly as the idiot before you.

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 16, 2011

I see that you plan to "punish" the banks for the Great Mortgage Fraud by forcing principal reductions. But you left out the most important part, where are the criminal charges? Instead you are leaving in charge the same people who created the fraud in the first place. Where is the justice for those who have had their homes stolen from them?

Your strange inability to make the right choice probably explains why you continue to torture Pvt Bradley Manning without charges and you have yet to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan.

Your time in office has left you ethically challenged and morally bereft, sir.

Sunday, March 13, 2011

Dear Mr President

March 13, 2011

Chinless Mitch McConnell has threatened not to increase the debt ceiling if you do not present a credible plan for deficit reduction. You have to call his bluff on this or he will change his demands every time you say yes. Mr. President you need to present a program of deep cuts in corporate welfare subsidies and tax increases to the wealthy like yourself and Chinless Mitch. This would be what the majority of voters call "shared sacrifice". Poor Chinless Mitch's screams of pain would expose his hypocrisy for all the voters to see. It would involve getting your people on the Sunday Bobblehead shows for a period of weeks but it would be worth it.

There is one other thing you can do to ease the deficit. You can end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and stop the waste of lives and tax dollars that we can not afford.

Saturday, March 12, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 12, 2011

Once upon a time we had a presidential candidate named Barack Obama who promised, if workers rights were ever threatened, he would march with the workers. Now we have a President Obama who won't even let one of his lesser officials show support for oppressed workers. Shame on you Mr President.

You are the one who has let the Republican Party grow crazy and out of control instead of crushing them and putting the whole lot in jail for their crimes. And now, as they openly attack the voter base you hope to win with in 2012, you sit and wait, Kerensky like in the White House. If you were devoting your attention to ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan that would be excusable, but you are not. You continue to let Americans die in vain, wasting $Billions for the benefit of a bunch of self-inflated fools in the Pentagon.

You can stop it if you wish.

Friday, March 11, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 11, 2011

I read that you believe the military when they swear on a stack of UCMJs that the Treatment of Bradley Manning meets the basic standard. The real question is whether that is the basic standard for torture in Bagram of Guantanamo or a more generalized Bushian standard of torture meant to apply across the government?

You do know that you can atone for your enjoyment of torturing others by simply ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan now. All those brave men and women dying on your watch are dying in vain and it need not be.

Thursday, March 10, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 10, 2011

I read today that we are now shooting family members of Karzai of the Afghans. That is a sure fire way to win the hearts and minds of the people. Speaking of people, I notice that more and more polls are showing a majority of people want a US withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq. Even Republicans are moving to this position. Now would be a good time to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and preempt the upcoming Republican attack on you. It would also improve your standing with a majority of Americans, not that you care about that stuff.

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 9, 2011

I read today that Gen. Petraeus and his minions are promising to stir up enough fighting to get you to postpone your scheduled drawdown of troops in your shitty little war. This would be a good time for you to take the initiative and declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Then you can order him to organize an orderly withdrawal of all Americans from that shithole.

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 8, 2011

Congratulations on your approval of detention without end for people you don't like. Most people think you mean those poor dumbass ragheads that your predecessor collected in his torture camps. Truth be told, we know it really means detaining the military in your shitty little war in Afghanistan forever. No one can say you haven't done your part to expand the American Empire.

Monday, March 7, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 7, 2011

I must remonstrate with you regarding to dreadful actions that need to be stopped immediately. As you are a good family man, a christian, a Democrat and an American, you should end the torture of Private Bradley Manning by your Marines in Quantico. Torture is for Republicans, not Americans.

Second, as a practical man you need to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. I would not like to think that Bob Gates is right, that you need to have your head examined. Save the lives and save the money, end your shitty little war now.

Sunday, March 6, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 6, 2011

I was reading about your soldiers in Afghanistan and how the doctors were seeing an increased amount of what they called a "signature wound", lower leg amputation and groin injury. The very idea that a war could develop a "signature wound" is absolutely abhorrent to any intelligent and caring person. That these soldiers are losing their legs and other parts for no good reason in absolutely criminal. Mr. President, end your shitty little war in Afghanistan now! Do Not Wait!

Saturday, March 5, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 5, 2011

I read that your people will be stripping Pvt Bradley Manning naked every night, indefinitely. I am sure this is not what you intended when you repealed DADT but as a Constitutional lawyer I am confident that you can justify it. The hard part is living with this as a good, churchgoing father. Still, you seem to sleep well despite your shitty little war in Afghanistan so you will find a way to live with it.

Dear Mr. President

March 5, 2011

It looks like democracy has broken out in Iraq, time for us to leave our job is done. As for Afghanistan, well we all know that Karzai the King of Corruption is well established in Kabul. He has also stolen enough money to pay for his own protection. This would be a good time to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring our troops home.

Friday, March 4, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 4, 2011

Now I understand why you did not prosecute your predecessor and his crew for torture. Had you done so, you would, no doubt, feel some constraint about torturing and abusing Private Bradley Manning for his great public service.

You will never get this stain off your conscience but you can begin to make amends by declaring an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. You know we can't afford it, by any measure you choose.

Thursday, March 3, 2011

Dear Mr. President

March 3, 2011

I was just reading another news story on the $Billions of waste in Afghanistan. I was horrified by the amount mentioned and I am sure you know better than I what the true loss amount is. If you had declared an end to that shitty little war when you came into office the money saved would have boosted the economy to such good condition that you would have no real opposition in 2012.

You can still end your shitty little war now, we don't need to continue wasting money over there.

Dear Mr. President

March 2, 2011

Congratulations are due to your mighty military forces. Their recent assault and decimation of a dangerous Afghan teen age wood gathering party deserves medals all around, don't you think?

Sir, if you had done the right thing upon taking office and declared an end to that shitty little war you would not have the blood of those children on your hands today.

It is not too late to declare enough!

Now that your administration is no longer defending the Constitutionality of DOMA, may I suggest a new course of action for AG Holder. If, as the news reports say, there really is a tape of Roger Ailes suborning perjury by Judith Regan, you need to get an indictment as soon as possible. Not only could AG Holder actually win such a case, but if you can damage Roger Ailes you will remove a major obstacle to your re-election. And it would be of far greater value to this country to spend money prosecuting Roger Ailes than prosecuting your shitty little war in Afghanistan.

Dear Mr. President

February 27, 2011

First your Secretary of Defense suggests you should have your head examined and now the Democratic National Committee is calling for withdrawal from Afghanistan sooner than you have promised. Tough luck, that. Still, they have given you the opportunity to do what is right for our country and declare an immediate end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. The sooner you stop wasting lives and money there the better we all will be.

Saturday, February 26, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 26, 2011

I read that your nice Mr. Gates told the cadets at West Point that any future president considering a land war in the Middle East should have his head examined. It was nice of him to look forward like that but we both know the same criteria should be applied to any current President who order a land war in Iraq and Afghanistan. You should just declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and moot the point. Save lives and money, too.

Friday, February 25, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 25, 2011

The Koch Brothers spokesman has declared that his masters will continue to spend $Millions to take down our country. It strikes me that they and their industrial base would be the perfect target for a massive IRS audit. It would not matter if you piss them off as they will never be on your side, even if you were revealed as the second coming of Christ. There is a very real possibility of recovering hundreds of $Millions.

If you don't want to do that, you could declare an immediate end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. That would save $Billions.

Thursday, February 24, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 24, 2011

Do you remember when you said this in 2007?

"If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I’m in the White House, I will put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I’ll will walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America. Because workers deserve to know that somebody is standing in their corner."

I hope you have your staff working diligently to find those shoes because workers rights are under attack in Wisconsin. If you are really a leader then now is the time for you to be in front of the people who want to follow you.

And while you are waiting for those shoes, do something useful with your time, declare an immediate end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. We can't afford an empire.

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 21, 2011

It was good of you to go to Bethesda Naval Hospital. While you were there I hope you took a good long look at what your shitty little war is doing to good Americans who really believe you know what you are doing. I hope you think long and hard about the simple fact that you are the owner of those shattered bodies and of the shattered lives of the families of those who do not return alive.

Please Mr. President, think long and hard on that before you fall asleep and when you wake up, call for an end to your shitty little war, Now.

Dear Mr. President

February 23, 2011

After two years and a complete Commission on Wartime Contracting we are still no closer the curtailing the fraud and embezzlement that your predecessor built into the contracting system. You would be much better off just declaring an end to your shitty little war and bringing the troops home.

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 22, 2011

I read in the paper this morning that your commander on the ground in Afghanistan thinks that the local people are injuring their own children to discredit the US. Boy oh boy sir, you sure know how to pick them. Would you please just end your shitty little war in Afghanistan before it gets any more surreal. Besides we can't afford an empire just to make you look good.

Monday, February 21, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 21, 2011

I have seen reports that you and your minions are in discussion to get permanent bases in Afghanistan. This is insane! If we are unable to help the poorest elements of our society heat their homes in the winter, how, in the name of all that is holy, can we afford to maintain an empire?

Restore the budget cuts to LIHEAP and end your shitty little war now! Bring all the troops home. We have our own country to police and rebuild.

Sunday, February 20, 2011

Dear Mr President

February 20, 2011

I read that you are negotiating with the Taliban again. I hope you vetted the current contacts better than the last one.

If you have a real one then your job should be easy. Just find out how much we have to pay for the Taliban to let us leave peacefully and declare an end to your shitty little war. Whatever amount they want will probably be far less than the Karzai boys have stolen up to now.

You know, if those Karzai Boys keep up this pace, by the 4th of July they will have stolen more than the Republicans want to cut from the budget.

Saturday, February 19, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 19, 2011

Your Secretary of Defense asserts that Republican budget cuts could return Iraq to the status of Afghanistan in 1990. Given that both countries were independent self governing states, for better or worse, at the time I can imagine the populations of both countries would believe that a good idea. It would definitely be a good idea if you were to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan now, bring all the troops home and spend the money saved on nation building here in the United States.

Friday, February 18, 2011

Dear Mr President

February 18, 2011

Your predecessor inherited a budget surplus and managed, through two massive tax cuts for rich people like yourself and two useless, unfunded shitty little wars, turn it into a huge deficit and leave it to you to fix.

Now you need to find big money, fast, to save all the federal program that voters want. You already screwed the pooch on tax cuts and that leaves you only one other choice. Declare an end to your shitty little wars in Afghanistan, bring the troops home now and use the appropriations for what America wants and to hell with the Koch Brothers and Mellon-Scaife.

Thursday, February 17, 2011

Dear Mr President

February 17, 2011

You proclaimed your support for the people of Egypt in their struggle against Hosni Mubarak. When will you proclaim your support for the people of Wisconsin in their struggle against the Pharoah of Madison?

If you find it difficult to stand up for Americans in their struggle for freedom, how about you stand up for American troops in their struggle and declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. They can do a better job of protecting our freedoms over here.

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 16, 2011

I read that you are bringing Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Eikenberry home before they totally trash their reputations and careers in Afghanistan. Why not declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and let all the troops come home with them?

It's what a real man would do.

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 15, 2011


Every time people in Washington look for areas to cut funding they overlook the 800 lb gorilla in the room, your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Do not mistake me, sir. I do not propose cutting funding for the troops. Instead you should declare an end to your shitty little war, our largest unfunded mandate that is supporting a den of thieves and serves no national purpose.

Sunday, February 13, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 13, 2011


All indications from your carefully leaked sources are that in your new budget you intend to deeply cut all the services that people want from their government. At the same time you intend to continue, unabated, with your shitty little war in Afghanistan, which no one wants.

Mr. President, do you or any of your staff realize that you have your priorities totally ass backwards?

Saturday, February 12, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 12, 2011

I heard you proclaim that you would cut the waste out of the federal budget. Does that mean you will end your shitty little war in Afghanistan? Or will you just beat up on poor people as the Republicans like to do?

Having read Dexter Filkins' New Yorker article on the Kabul Bank fraud I have to ask you if you really believe that our taxpayer dollars should continue to support that level of criminality? Once more sir, end your shitty little war, end the fraud and bring out troops home alive.

Friday, February 11, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 11, 2011

Now that the Republican have made it clear they intend to defund all the programs you support, it is time to release the necessary replacement fund.

End your shitty little war in Afghanistan and you can divert the money saved to keeping America alive and functioning. You might do well enough to have a positive legacy.

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Dear Mr. President

It has been revealed that J P Morgan Chase has been acting in violation of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and foreclosing on the homes of serving military. Mr President, this is no accident. There is not a bank employee in this country working with mortgages that is not aware of that law. And JPM's persistence in their violations when they were informed of it should be taken as proof of their willful violation of the law. Why haven't you revoked their banking charter? The size of the bank does not legitimize criminal behavior.

If you won't revoke the charter of a rogue bank then you must end your shitty little war in Afghanistan so the troops can defend their homes against a predatory lender.

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 9, 2011

I see that you want to make steep cuts in government energy assistance for low income families. Proposing this while you continue Billions in tax cuts, rebates and incentives to hugely profitable oil companies makes that one of the dumbest ideas ever suggested by man or Republican.

The only thing dumber than that idea is your continuing shitty little war in Afghanistan.

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 8, 2011

Why is it thought to be obscene when you have two naked people who love each other but it is not thought to be obscene when people try to kill each other in the most brutal manner possible?

Mr. President, your shitty little war in Afghanistan is obscene. Please end it now before you warp the minds of our children.

Monday, February 7, 2011

Dear Mr.President

February 7, 2011

So you talk with Bill O'Reilly who is currently editing your answers to make you look bad on his show tonight, but you won't speak with Rachel Maddow who, like most Americans, would like you to succeed. You do have some strange ideas in your head.

That may explain why you haven't ended your shitty little war in Afghanistan when everyone except the military brass and those who profit from the war have realized it is a costly failure. Be a man and admit your shitty little war has failed and end it.

Sunday, February 6, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 6, 2011

I am sorry to hear that you have lost the support of Sen. John Kerry for your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Don't you think you should end it before you are the last one left supporting it?

Saturday, February 5, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 5, 2011

The other day, in response to an insane Republican call for cutting veteran benefits, the National Commander of the VFW said,

"The day this nation can't afford to take care of her veterans is the day this nation should quit creating them."

Given the number of maimed and mutilated veterans you and your predecessor have created, it would be an excellent idea to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan now. How many veterans do you think we really need?

Friday, February 4, 2011

Dear Mr. President

February 4, 2011

I noted in your remarks from the National Prayer Breakfast, you say that you pray to God for strength every morning. May I join you in praying to God that he give you the strength and wisdom to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan? Your writ lies with the American people, not the Afghans.

Everybody who works for a living knows there is only one solution for the problems Social Security will face 30 years from now. That solution is the removal on the income cap for SSI tax. You know the one put there by that political hack, Alan Greenspan. The White House should announce this as the only acceptable solution, as it is.

I know this is a difficult political decision, one that takes a real man to make but I know you can do it. Just like you can man up and end your shitty little war in Afghanistan.

Monday, January 31, 2011

Dear Mr. President

January 31, 2011

I just read that the DoE could not find $35 Million to maintain the particle physics program at FermiLab. Somehow you are still able to find the $2 Billion a day to keep your shitty little war in Afghanistan going so we can support a den of thieves who have stolen $Billions.

Enough is enough! Keep FermiLab open and close down your shitty little war in Afghanistan.

Dear Mr. President

January 31, 2011

Wow! All I can say is Wow! We are putting the lives and treasure of this country on the line to support a crew that managed to steal some $900 Billion from the Kabul Bank. In a country with a GDP (2010) of $30 Billion.

What more reason do you need to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan? Please sir, end it now!

Sunday, January 30, 2011

Dear Mr. President

January 30, 2011

It looks like you are losing points in the Middle East with your continued support of Hosni "Toast" Mubarak. Let him go and let the Egyptians throw their own dice.

You can get those points back by ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan now. As you can see from Tunisia and Egypt, the forces of change are much bigger than your military effort.

Saturday, January 29, 2011

Dear Mr. President,

January 29, 2011

Now that the Congress has repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Pentagon is moving toward "accommodation" of teh gay in the military, this would be a good time to halt all DADT prodeures underway. Also why are you dunning the ones you kicked out for bonuses and incentives? Jeez Louise! You kicked them out for the most unsupportable of reasons. Accept responsibility for your actions. The only thing dumber than these collection efforts would be to continue your shitty little war in Afghanistan.

Stop it!

Friday, January 28, 2011

Dear Mr President

January 28, 2011

Gen Petraeus will soon start pressing you to extend your shitty little war in Afghanistan because he is failing in his mission. The people you want to vote for you in 2012 will start pushing you to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan because we are tired of wasting lives and money for no good reason.

Be smart, pre-empt us both by ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan now.

Thursday, January 27, 2011

Dear Mr President,

January 27, 2011

I was reading the news about another soldier who had his home stolen by a foreign bank while serving in Iraq. He was not the only soldier abused by banks that violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. You need to have the Dept of Justice prosecute these banks to the fullest and assist the soldiers in recovering their property. And why aren't the various bank regulators conducting detailed examinations of obviously poorly run organizations?

Obviously the best way to end this lawless behavior is to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring all the troops home.

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

Dear Mr. President,

January 26, 2011

It was really good of you to provide the various initiatives to help military families. Too often Republican supporters have exploited them for personal gain.

Sadly you failed to take the most important initiative, the one that all military families want. You didn't declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring the troops home, now!

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Dear Mr President,

January 25, 2012

I see that Sen McConnell is trying to paint you into a corner on the Afghan war just like LBJ was. The best way to prevent this is to declare an end to your shitty little war tonight and save all those lives and a ton of money. You know we can't afford an empire anymore.
