Alright already!
I am intimately aware of the mess our Country is in! I share a core mistrust of our Congress, Senators and you Mr.President with millions of our fellow Citizens!
I don't have the wherewithal to address my anger and disgust of the federal reserve and corporate banking cabal right now!
I am beyond disappointment with our "different direction" our Foreign Policy is moving in!
Or shall I say "Bushworldview, part II"...
President Obama made the historic address to our Muslim bretheren in the Middle East on New Year's day, declared hope for dialogue with "arch enemy" Iran and his envoys insist Israel begin peace negotiations based on a "two-state solution".
And then his Secretary of State Clinton reaffirms our undying love for the Israeli state.
She refuses to talk with an elected Government - Hamas.
And then the U.S. boycotts Durban II Conference On Racism, after subverting the event with demands of striking any references to Israel in it's statement!
Our Administration's muted response to the "Operation Cast Lead" and our abstension of U.N. Security Council's vote of condemnation of Israel's illegal Gaza assault smacks of "Bushworldview" foreign policy!
Oh! Let's send 21000 more American men and women to an unwinnable war and increase the predator strikes on an ally's sovereign territory ...that will give all Muslim nations hope for change!!
And just this week, he signed an order to extend, for one year, economic and diplomatic sanctions on Syria- a potential partner for Mideast peace!
Change we can believe in? I think not!
I suspect there are many of your supporters, Mr. President, who are beginning to regret our support for you last year! I, for one, was relieved to see the Neocon element swept from office last November! Now I feel Election 2008 was all for naught!
Show me, all Americans, and our international neighbors our hope is not a hopeless effort!
Here is my wishlist, a list that has not changed much from 2008 Election year:
1. Investigate AND prosecute ALL parties complicit in leading us into our illegal "War on Terror" in Iraq!
2. Complete the original mission of searching for Bin Laden and eliminating the threat of Al Qaeda the Taliban and GET OUT! This was our stated mission and it has morphed into nation-building and ensuring a U.S. friendly regime in Afghanistan and directing a Pakistani domestic policy!
3. Offering a reality-based peace process that include elements of the Arab nation's peace offer, working with all freely elected Governments in the mideast- including Hamas.
4. Cease all subversion of Hamas legitimacy, hold Israel accountable for their illegal and immoral occupation, and devote 50% of our foreign aid earmarked for Israel to the rebuilding and support for the Palestinian people.
5. Open a sincere dialogue with President Chavez of Venezuela and establish unconditional diplomatic relations with Cuba!
Of course, we have much more to do regarding the repair of American prestige as a true world leader, these wishes seem to be imperative now.
Lead with an open hand, Mr. President, not a closed fist!
(this line I borrowed from you!)
I feel we are doomed to the Corporate/Bank solutions you have enacted, at least for now.
Show me/us some "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN"...
