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

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

I start your words on national unity, at the end of your recent speech on the Afghanistan battle, both empty and frustrating:
" This vast and various citizenry will not always set on every puzzle – nor should we. But I also know that we, as a country, cannot sustain our leadership nor navigate the crucial challenges of our time if we own ourselves to be split asunder by the identical nasty look and rejection and favouritism that has in recent times poisoned our national discourse.
It is easy to forget that when this war began, we were united – bound together by the fresh reminiscence of a weird thrust, and by the determination to defend our homeland and the values we hold dear. I refuse to accept the thought that we cannot notify that unity and. I accredit with every fiber of my being that we – as Americans – can still come together behind a common purpose. For our values are not plainly 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 encouraged and yearning for unity but your actions and silence spread 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 " fracas ", as if they were children wrangle over the last piece of cake.
- When Air Force One and an accompanying Air Force battler made very low flight passes over New York Stead, causing terror and panic in those New Yorkers on the ground who were reliving the ghastly memories of the 9 - 11 attacks, you displayed an supercilious insensitivity by working the incident into a trick you told several days subsequent at a cocktails.
- 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 Chief in the summer, your were silent.
- When Pelosi and Reid and a small cabal of Democrats took the health care reform legislation enterprise behind closed doors and into quick, no review votes, bypassing formal, requisite, and democratic debate, you were silent.
- While you graciously and quickly accepted the self-accusation of Congressman Joe Wilson who yelled out " Liar " during your health care speech to Congress, when Pelosi went for a shake of adherent flesh by censuring the Congressman, you were silent.
- When ACORN came underneath inspection for voter registration and child prostitution shenanigans and molest of taxpayer money, you were silent.
National unity generally manifests itself in one of two ways. First, an moving tragedy identical as the charge on Pearl Harbor or the 9 - 11 attacks can act a county together. Second, a great kingpin jibing as Churchill in World Bloodshed II or President Kennedy ' s Camelot vision can exercise the citizenry together for a greater purpose. However, allowing companion populace to be called a - - h - - - s, un - American, smelly, knuckle dragging Neanderthals is no way to become a great skipper of a unified nation. By words to American adults as if they were children, telling them to stop dispute when they were only freely suggestive their opinions and concerns is no way to become a great bigwig of a unified nation. Making light of American fears by telling a yarn about an incident that negatively impacted a lot of people is no way to become a great notability of a unified nation.
In less than a year you went from an test adjudjing over 70 % to an try classifying below 50 %, not being you made difficult and chin-up decisions but being your were silent, condescending, and insensitive. Akin a high shibboleth evaluating provided an unprecedented opportunity at national unity that you thirst for. You without that historic opportunity when you went from being the pipe dream for a better national future to becoming just larger adherent politician matching the rest of the political class in Washington. What a disrepute.
