An Open Letter To President Obama - Seeking Unity But Sowing Disunity

An Open Letter To President Obama - Seeking Unity But Sowing Disunity

I create your words on national unity, at the end of your recent speech on the Afghanistan fighting, both empty and frustrating:
" This vast and assorted citizenry will not always subscribe on every question – nor should we. But I also know that we, as a country, cannot sustain our leadership nor navigate the vital challenges of our time if we grant ourselves to be split asunder by the alike abomination and denial and partiality that has in recent times poisoned our national discourse.
It is easy to forget that when this warfare began, we were united – bound together by the fresh anamnesis of a awe-inspiring drive, and by the determination to defend our homeland and the values we hold dear. I refuse to accept the idea that we cannot represent that unity and. I count on with every fiber of my being that we – as Americans – can still come together behind a common purpose. For our values are not tidily words written into parchment – they are a creed that calls us together, and that has carried us through the darkest of storms as one nation, one people. "
Here you are assured and yearning for unity but your actions and silence broadcast disunity:
- When Americans were rising up and demanding answers to unclear health care reform issues and legislation, you condescended to those in disagreement and told them to stop " spat ", as if they were children wrangle over the last piece of cake.
- When Air Force One and an accompanying Air Force fighting man made very low flight passes over New York Area, causing alarm and agitation in those New Yorkers on the ground who were reliving the abhorrent memories of the 9 - 11 attacks, you displayed an cheeky insensitivity by working the incident into a gag you told several days following at a shag.
- When Nancy Pelosi called those in disagreement with health care reform plans " un - American ", you were silent.
- When Democratic Congressman Grayson of Florida called all Republicans " knuckle dragging Neanderthals ", you were silent.
- When one of your czars, Van Jones, called all Republicans a - - h - - - s in a public forum in Berkley that was captured on videotape and YouTube, you were silent.
- When Henry Reid stated publicly that American tourists, the very taxpayers that pay Congressional salaries, physically smell when they visit the nation ' s Important in the summer, your were silent.
- When Pelosi and Reid and a small cabal of Democrats took the health care reform legislation resolution behind closed doors and into quick, no review votes, bypassing formal, name, and democratic debate, you were silent.
- While you graciously and quickly accepted the woe of Congressman Joe Wilson who yelled out " Liar " during your health care speech to Congress, when Pelosi went for a wallop of devotee flesh by censuring the Congressman, you were silent.
- When ACORN came under case for voter registration and child prostitution shenanigans and bully of taxpayer money, you were silent.
National unity repeatedly manifests itself in one of two ways. First, an far out tragedy near as the invasion on Jewel Harbor or the 9 - 11 attacks can fling a sphere together. Second, a great dignitary akin as Churchill in World Bloodshed II or President Kennedy ' s Camelot vision can battle the citizenry together for a greater purpose. However, allowing person kinsmen to be called a - - h - - - s, un - American, smelly, knuckle dragging Neanderthals is no way to become a great head man of a unified nation. By speech to American adults as if they were children, telling them to stop struggle when they were only freely pregnant their opinions and concerns is no way to become a great precursor of a unified nation. Making light of American fears by telling a witticism about an incident that negatively impacted a lot of people is no way to become a great lion of a unified nation.
In less than a year you went from an scrutiny assessing over 70 % to an shibboleth ranking beneath 50 %, not now you made difficult and strong decisions but in that your were silent, condescending, and insensitive. Coextensive a high crack rating provided an unprecedented opportunity at national unity that you hunger for. You adrift that historic opportunity when you went from being the promise for a better national future to becoming just farther adherent politician agnate the rest of the political class in Washington. What a disgrace.
