Dear Mr. President

February 28, 2011

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.

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.

Dear Mr. President

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.

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.

Dear Mr. President

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
