Dear Barry,
May I call you Barry? I know I shouldn't call you by your
first name, but I feel like I know you personally. If we are ever together in
public, I'll call you Mr. President.
First of all, I'd like to tell you a few things about
myself. Like you, I used to be a democrat. I became an Independent when I saw
the Democrats being taken over by corporations. While I became an Independent,
you became well"something else. I know you still call yourself a Democrat, but
we all know that real Democrats no longer exist.
I want to take this opportunity to tell you how impressed I
am with your political acumen. You (or the people you choose to run the
campaign) seem to have the ability to run a campaign brilliantly. It is truly
amazing how you can run an entire Presidential campaign based on pure bullshit
and make it appear that you are promising the voters heaven itself.
When you won the last campaign on the premise that you would
bring "Change" to Washington, I almost believed it. When I realized that your
major campaign contributor was Goldman Sachs, I figured that either you were
either lying about your promises to either Goldman Sachs or to the American
voter. After the election, when you kept Ben Bernanke and chose Tim Geithner
for your economic chief (both Goldman alumina) I figured you were lying to the
voters. This was verified when you gave trillions of dollars to Wall Street
criminals without asking for much in return. All Americans got to see the
biggest heist in American history right from their Lazy-Boy's.
It was pure audacity when you ramped-up the war in
Afghanistan in your acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize! I was amazed when
nobody mentioned the irony of it. That's when I realized you weren't just a
politician, you were also a magician.
I must admit, you actually gave the American people hope
that the excesses of executive power that characterized the Bush administration
would stop, even as you continually wiped the White House floor with the U.S.
Constitution. What really amazed me was the way the Democrats turned a blind
eye when you forgave the Bushco crime family for torturing suspected "terrorists"
and performing surveillance on the American people with illegal wiretaps, illegal
searches, extraordinary renditions and lying about the entire premise of the
war in Iraq (among other things).
What really tipped me off that you were a fascist is when
you urged Congress to include American citizens to be subject to "indefinite detention"
without any regard for due process under a clause in the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) (See S 1867: Killing The Bill of Rights and Declaring
War on Americans http://www.opednews.com/articles/S-1867-Killing-The-Bill-o-by-Timothy-Gatto-111202-678.html).
It is truly amazing that Congress would allow you to make American citizens "disappear"
without ever having to charge anyone with a crime which means the government
does not have to bother with any type of bothersome legalities. The U.S. Army
can come to your house, take you (with no legal paperwork), and keep you indefinitely
or until "The War on Terror" is over ("over?" like the war on drugs, the war on
poverty etc. etc.), yeah, right.
The pinnacle of your debauchery has to be the drone strikes
on American citizens overseas. Assassinating American citizens without ever formally
charging them or bringing them to trial (even in absentia) definitely brings
you into the same league as Hitler, Stalin and other notable despots. I'm sure
your family is proud.
To be continued...
