Circling The Bowl
(opinion/commentary)
Posted (Wednesday April 22, 2009) to www.whitehouse.gov:
Mr. President:
I spent hundreds of hours last year advocating for your candidacy. If you don't believe me, google: 'ted in pdx' and you'll see hundreds of blogs and comments, most of them from your website under "Republicans for Obama". My theme: let's elect a smart, honest politician who sees the corruption and will act pragmatically to fix it. After 100 days in office, you've done nothing but make the situation worse, and continue to cover for the racketeers on Wall Street, and their co-conspirators in Congress (both parties).
Mr. President, after reading this article in the NYTimes:
Bank Profits Appear Out of Thin Air
I want to inform you that your Presidency, which I (and many others) held such great hopes for...is "circling the bowl" (so to speak). If you want to fix it (before the bowl is flushed), try re-reading what you said you intended to do last year, instead of continuing to take your direction from the likes of Harry Reid, Tim Geithner's friends on Wall Street, and Nancy Pelosi (aka: the Marie Antoinette of Washington D.C.)
