Dear President Obama:
A lot of people are upset with you right now. Not me, but a lot of people.
And here’s why …
On your first day in office, you should have overhauled the entire legal system, financial system, education system, healthcare system, rooted-out and fired every incompetent person with a government job, repealed DADT, saved the country from the looming economic crisis, rebuilt the crumbling infrastructure, investigated every government department and made whatever changes were necessary, re-established respect for our nation with every foreign leader and their people, put every American back to work, solved the immigration problem, fixed the mortgage crisis, reversed global warming, lowered crime, housed the homeless, fed the hungry, cured the sick, raised the dead from their graves, righted every wrong – and just generally un-do every single thing that has ever been done incorrectly, unjustly, inefficiently or ill-advisedly by your immediate predecessor, as well as every administration going back to George Washington.
On your second day in office, you should have done even more.
The problems with you, personally, are pretty overwhelming. You talk too much, but not enough. You make too many public appearances – what are you hiding from? You’re all talk and no action – except when you act, and then one has to wonder exactly what it is you’re not talking about, and why.
And for God’s sake, don’t go blaming the MSM for your woes. We all know they were all up in W’s face, 24-7, for eight years. Hey, you think the birthers are on your last nerve? That was nothin’ compared to how the librul media wouldn’t shut up about Georgie’s missing military records, lying us into war, wiretapping without warrants, torture – hey, you name it, they were on his case. If it wasn’t for runaway brides, missing blond teenagers and Terry Schiavo, the man wouldn’t have had a minute’s peace from the relentless hounding of every newspaper and TV news outlet in the nation. So kwityerbitchin’.
You promised change – and as far as I can see, a year and a half into your first term, you still haven’t changed everything yet. The colour blue is still known as b-l-u-e, the Equator is still where it’s always been, and American Idol is still on the air – so much for your empty rhetoric.
As for hope – well, where do I begin? I’d hoped to wake up to world peace, the announcement of a cure for every disease, and lookin' twenty years younger while sportin' a rack that would make Pamela Anderson cry. I didn't. And it's all your fault.
But now we come to the latest bone of contention, your total ineptitude in handling the BP oil leak. Here’s where you run out of excuses.
You should have thrown BP off the job immediately, and sent in a bunch of really smart guys who know how to fix this problem. I know from reliable sources that this is easily done, that the appropriate personnel are at-the-ready. Why you are standing in their way is anybody’s guess. Or you could have simply turned to the internetz, where people on message boards with absolutely no experience, education, or expertise in the area of deep-well drilling have all kinds of solutions that you should be testing, analyzing and weighing as viable options that will be immediately successful – so just pick one, why don’t ya?
Why haven’t you just done the right thing – by breaking the law and seizing BP’s equipment and assets? The last president didn’t give a **** about the law – why should you? Don’t worry about those who would yell and scream that you have no right to do so. They only say that when it’s the other guy who’s in the WH, not one of their own – which is kinda what they said when it was the other guy in office, and not theirs, and took the opposite position – but I digress.
It comes down to this, Obama: Why aren’t you in the Gulf, pluggin’ that hole? Why aren’t you in DC, tending to business? Why aren’t you on TV all day, every day, explaining what it is you’re doing – and why aren’t you holding everybody’s hand while you’re doing it? Why are you acting calm and controlled in the face of disaster – don’t you get how serious this is? Why are you not acting like a raving lunatic – don’t you know how reassuring that kind of behavior is? Why aren't you clearing brush somewhere, like a chosen-by-God president does?
It's being said that this is your Katrina, sir. And despite the differences in the circumstances, as well as the response, that must be the case - because Anderson Cooper said so, and he had his shirt-sleeves rolled up when he said it. For a lot of Americans, that's pretty much all it takes. Even those who claim that the MSM is not to be trusted will change their tune when AC's cufflinks rise above the wrist - or when Bobby Jindal yells for sandbags - and plenty of 'em, boys, keep 'em coming.
You are being perceived as too weak, too strong, too self-assertive, too self-effacing, too loud, too soft-spoken, too patient, too quick-to-anger, too analytical, too spontaneous, too fast on your feet, too slow to understand, too outspoken, too silent, too dumb to deal with this disaster of mammoth proportions – and way too smart for your own damned good.
So why don’t you just cut that out? Why don’t you just display some leadership*? (*definition may vary – but vague enough to mean, uh, whatever)
Like I said, Mr. President, some people are really upset with you right now. And not only are they willing to tell you that whatever you’re doing, it’s completely wrong, they’re also more than happy to tell you that __________ (their preferred candidate here) would have done a much better job.
And, like I also said, I’m not one of them.
Keep doing what you’re doin’, Mr. Prez – we’ve got your back.
Despite what you may read on the internetz about so-called real Democrats, real progressives, and real liberals, your real base is here to stay.

She's still full of shit. I didn't make it past the first sentence.

It appears that Nance has run out of bourbon and is now resorting to rubbing alcohol and aqua velva

The most important line to remember from that drunken bitch:

No matter how much the libs bitch about 0bama, no matter what he does for the next 2 1/2 years, they'll gladly pull the lever for him again in 2012.
Bank it. :-)

Well, well, well.....
When Democrats are in power, Nance thinks they are moving fast enough to 'get things done' - and criticism of Obama for not doing everything yesterday is unfounded.
But thats not how you used to think, is it Nance ? - http://www.democraticunderground.com/articles/05/09/21_dear.html
Dear Elected Democrats...
September 21, 2005
By Nancy Greggs
It's time we had a little talk.
I am a Democrat. While I do not deign to speak for everyone of my party, I do keep up with current political news and have been made aware, painfully so, of a certain attitude amongst my fellow party members that is impossible to ignore. I don't speak for everyone, but I do speak in concert with many.
For the past four-plus years, we have watched our once-great nation dissolve into something unrecognizable. It is now a nation where torture of our fellow human beings is accepted policy; a nation where American citizens can be held in prison, indefinitely and incommunicado, without charge.
It has become a nation where hard-working Americans watch their jobs and their way of life shipped overseas, where the middle class is constantly under siege in a battle that can no longer be won. It is a nation where our senior citizens must choose between medicine and food, and, more recently, where Americans must choose between food and the necessary funds to fill their gas tanks in order to get to work.
We are angry, very angry. Not only as Democrats, but as Republicans, Greens and Independents; we, as a nation, are angry. And the pressing question is: where have you been?
For too long now, it seemed as though your collective strategy to deal with this Administration has been "give them enough rope, and they'll hang themselves." Well, congratulations. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, they have hung themselves with a vengeance.
We have now seen how their stewardship of our government agencies has played out, thanks to the patronage appointments of people with no training or skill, thanks to the gutting of budgets to these agencies in order to more fully fund an unwinnable war in Iraq that was, from the outset, based on lies.
Yes, they have hung themselves. But at the cost of how many lives, lives both lost and damaged beyond repair? Do you intend to dole out more rope, hoping they'll do themselves in yet again? Which American city are you willing to sacrifice next? How many lives are you willing to see lost or destroyed in order to be able to stand back and say, "Well, we told you so!"
This is not the time for handing out more rope. This is the time for figuratively tying that rope around this Administration's neck and yanking on it for all you're worth.
We are past the point of bargaining with these people. We are past the point of saying, "I'll just give in to them on this one issue, this one policy, and things will work themselves out down the road."
We are no longer fighting over gay marriage, or the public display of the Ten Commandments. We are past the point of debating the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance, or whether flag-burning is a crime. Those things may be important to some of us, somewhere down the line.
But when Americans die on their own native soil as a result of this Administration's incompetence and self-serving political agenda, it is time to focus on a more important goal: the very survival of our nation as it was, as it could be, as it was envisioned more than two hundred years ago by people who put their very lives on the line to make it everything it should be.
You might ask the age-old question: where is the outrage? Believe me, it's out here. Check out the websites, read the angry letters, listen to the conversation at the local diner. We are outraged indeed.
The more pertinent question is: where is your outrage? You are the people elected to reflect the thoughts, attitudes and will of the people you represent. Where has that outrage been reflected in your behavior over the last four years?
There are those among you who often inspire confidence – the passion of Kennedy, the no-nonsense eloquence of Boxer, the knight-like sense of purpose of Conyers, the poetic statesmanship of Byrd.
But while their words and actions inspire the masses, they seem to go unnoticed and unsupported by many of you who sit in public office. Where were you when the 2000 election was stolen, and the facts of same were blatantly obvious? Where were you when the Ohio vote in 2004 was being questioned, when irregularities were surfacing on an hour-by-hour basis? Why did John Conyers deliver his petition without a vast contingent of his colleagues standing proudly behind him? In short: why do we never see you doing anything?
I realize that many of you have your own political ambitions, and want to retain the position you now hold, or even move beyond it someday. There have been times in the past when – although I don't agree with it – I could appreciate your reticence in standing up for issues that might lose you the support of American voters.
But what is your excuse now? You don't have to fund massive surveys to know, without a question of a doubt, that the majority of Americans – not just Democrats, but Americans – feel that the country is on the wrong track. The vast majority of Americans now believe that Iraq is all but a lost cause, that our dependence on foreign oil is a catastrophe, that the ever-ballooning deficit is a time-bomb waiting to go off, if not in our lifetime, certainly in the lifetime of our children and grandchildren.
To put it succinctly: what in God's name are you waiting for? How far do you think a do-nothing, sit-on-the-fence attitude about everything that is currently undermining our American way of life will get you in future? How many voters do you think will be bothered to go the polls and cast a ballot in your favor, when they've seen nothing of meaning having been accomplished to date?
There is no doubt in my mind that the vast majority of you are decent, well-meaning people with the best of intentions at heart. But intentions without words are meaningless, and words without action are without consequence.
I am loathe to condense the feelings of millions of Democrats down to a bumper-sticker, but for the sake of the bluntness called for here, I will do it just the same: Get a Spine, or Resign.
We Democrats are a patriotic, visionary group. We have funds to contribute to campaigns, the will to volunteer our time and resources, the votes to put the right people in office. But we are not likely to expend these things on people who sit by and do nothing. In the past few months, I have been horrified to hear devoted Democrats I know saying things like, "Next election, I'll vote Green or Independent," or, worse yet, "Next election, I won't vote at all." Their reasons for saying so are all too valid: why vote for people who have consistently sat in silence while our democracy is being dismantled?
Many times in the past, especially watching the events of the last few weeks unfold, I have thought that the Democrats would handily win next year's mid-terms, and the presidency in 2008 – not through effort, but by default, simply because the country will be ready for a change in view of the disastrous path this administration has led us down. As a stand-up comic once said, "Of course the meek shall inherit the earth – they'll be too timid to refuse it."
Unfortunately, I am now having visions of a different turn, visions of a Republican presidential hopeful standing up and saying, "I've seen where we've gone wrong. Vote for me, and I'll make it right." His campaign speeches will be carefully worded to avoid placing any blame on Bush, or his supporters. It will simply be a matter of suggesting a 'correction' here and there, after which everything – the economy, the situation in Iraq, the security of our borders – will all be back on track.
What will you say then? That he's saying the very things you should have said all along, but didn't?
It is time for each of you to examine your own conscience. Am I up to the job of representing my constituents? Am I willing to stand up for what my constituents believe in, without regard to how it might affect my own political ambitions? Am I willing to fight for what is right, instead of meekly sitting on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to speak up?
If you are not up to the job, step down now and let it be filled by someone who is willing to take what is happening to our country seriously; someone who is ready to fight – and, more importantly, to win.
We are about to enter a battle – no, a war – to save our democracy from an Administration whose only goal is the financial enrichment of themselves and their corporate cronies, and the economic enslavement of those unfortunate enough to be born into the poorer and working classes.
You may think I am over-stating the situation. I can assure you that millions of Democrats would accuse me of not stating it vociferously enough.
As I've said, we Democrats are a great party. We have the guts to fight for what is right, and the will to see that fight through to the end. We are a great bunch of people. We would like you to join us.
There is still time to make this right, to take up the sword of battle and lead. And if you choose to do so, you won't ever have to look behind you. I assure you, there will be an army of millions at your back.
Seems those Democrats weren't moving fast enough for you in '05 - even though better than half of your criticism of President Bush applies perfectly to Obama.. Funny that..
Also,
Its funny, Nance - other than references applauding Democrats, much of this screed sounds awfully 'Teabagger-like' . So, Nance, is that it ? Were you teabaggin' before teabaggin' was cool ?
I think I understand the Liberal's hatred of the Tea Party. It seems to me the Tea Party learned from your mistakes, and has become far more effective than you when you were teabaggin' against Bush..
...'Moran'....

Ye gods, I dislike this woman. Imagine having to deal with her in real life. I hope she didn't actually send this to the WH. Discussing your rack in a letter to the president is embarrassingly inappropriate. How much time does she waste on these tomes, anyway?

Exactly. If she were the last female on Earth, and I was the last male, and we were tasked with re-establishing humans on the planet, I'd let the human race become extinct before having sex with her.

Then there is the fact that no matter what the DUmmies may look like on the outside, they are disgustingly ugly inside.

Well, she's not hot, cause she says so:
As for hope – well, where do I begin? I’d hoped to wake up to world peace, the announcement of a cure for every disease, and lookin' twenty years younger while sportin' a rack that would make Pamela Anderson cry. I didn't. And it's all your fault.
So, she has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She's an old, dried-up, flat-chested bitch. That's all.

Chitownchica, what am I looking at there? It's certainly appropriate for the subject.
"It's time we had a little talk." Is there any worse phrase in the English language? Doesn't it just make your teeth go on edge and your shoulders tense, ready to pounce at the defensive?
-
You've got to have a special form of stupid to try and defend Dear Leader at this point, which is were NG fits the bill nicely. I've heard it said the worst thing that could happen to a president is that people laugh at you, but this incompetent fool has gone beyond that, real Americans just don't care anymore. At first, it was kinda fun to watch him lie all the time, but now I don't even want to do that.

Nance is 'talking down', as if she is the parent, explaining things to her kid. Only this time the kid is the president and his team. I know its sarcastic - but it it still any annoying habit. And all liberals do it.

I found that pic of Nance awhile ago and thought it was so funny. I found it while looking for laughs at one of the liberal boards.

She kind of looks mean in that pic.

Yes- that's Nance. It looks like the person who created it took the pic she posts in her sig line. She's one scary lookin' mama.

I think I found her Facebook page. She looks like a mean drunk. Red eyes, saggy skin...

OMG! That's really really her???? She looks exactly how I would have expected her to! Mean and nasty. Sadistic. I just thought it was something out of a movie. Man, I loathe that woman.
