Dear Mr. President,
Don't mean to interrupt your umpteenth game of golf, but once again, you are characterizng the scandals you and your administration are embroiled in, as phony. Just Washington insider stuff, you say. Nothing to see here. Move along. No, we will not move along. Because, Mr. President, you are the phony.
Before you even took office, you said you would create jobs and fix the economy. The economy is worse, and unemployment is still too high. You said you would bridge the racial divide, you've widened it. You said you would bridge the political divide, and you've spent much time fueling it. You said your administration would be transparent, yet it's the most secretive in history. You said we could keep our health care plan and our doctors, we can't. You said the insurance premiums would be much cheaper. Nope. You said you would support constitutional protections on surveillance programs. Nyet; the spying is more widespread and egregious than ever. You said you would cut the deficit in half, and that you didn't want to leave our children in debt. You've multiplied the deficit and left our children in more debt than ever. You said that America under your reign would have more respect from the world. Not true, not even our allies like us.
Mr. President, all of these broken promises are real. Also real are your many scandals which revolve around the abuse of executive power and the cover-up of illegal actions. No, Mr. President, we are not moving along...there's plenty to see here.

Reaching Critical Mass
So much going on in this country and around the world, one doesn't know where to look first.
On the one hand we have a shrinking economy, as evidenced by the decline in GDP from the 1stQ of this year, the continuing high number of unemployed among college graduates, and the highest number of government dependents in history.
We have a monstrous overload of illegal immigrants, with tens of thousands of children coming through our very porous borders, unaccompanied and carrying diseases.
We have government agencies which appear to be very corrupt, e.g. the IRS, the Veterans Administration, the EPA and the Justice Department.
We have a health care system run by the government which is revealing itself to be costly and restrictive of choice.
We have a President who is constantly giving Congress the middle finger because nothing will stand in the way of his agenda, as he has told us his pen and phone are all that he needs.
We have a political system in which one party mimics the sleazy behavior of the other party to keep their longstanding politicians in power, e.g. 4-decades-in-congress rino Cochran vs. Tea Party backed-McDaniel.
We have a reversal of events in Iraq in which extremists seem to be winning out; costing this country thousands in casualties, trillions in dollars, and a priceless reputation.
We have an administration that seems content with watching while an Islamic caliphate is building in the Middle East, and which will undoubtedly expand its reach unless stopped in its path.
We have old enemies who are rearing their ugly heads to usurp power while they can, e.g. Russia and China.
We have allies who are feeling betrayed by this country, e.g. Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan.
We have the biggest sponsor of terror in the world in Iran working tirelessly to build nuclear weapons to advance their very hostile agenda.
We have an administration who is only too willing to release some of jihad's worst perpetrators, and if that wasn't enough, in exchange for one very controversial deserter.
We have hundreds of people in Asia and Africa getting kidnapped and/or beheaded by maniacs.
We have one American soldier sitting in a Mexican prison for nearly 3 months due to a wrong turn on the road and our President won't extend himself to free him.
And we have a complicit media who seemingly still has the desire to protect and support this administration.
By no means is this the end of the list..this merely represents some of the very disturbing events and actions that are occuring lately. We seem to be reaching critical mass. What's next? What will be the tipping point?

The Questionable Exchange
Barack Obama thinks that all those who oppose his decision to release five very dangerous terrorists from Gitmo, in exchange for one American soldier, who undisputedly deserted his position, opposed this due to partisan politics. His National Security Adviser Susan Rice says Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the army deserter, Muslim convert, and possible enemy collaborator, served with "honor and distinction." Another administration official said "what if his platoon was long on psychopaths and short on leadership?" after hearing Bergdahl's fellow platoon members debating the swap and the administration painting him as a hero.
Several platoon members spoke out on "The Kelly File" this week, angered by this administration and its characterization of Bergdahl, as well as what they felt was a lopsided trade which will undoubtedly put their country at risk. This is what prompted several of them to break a non-disclosure statement, which they were told to sign five years ago, when Bergdahl first deserted. But, when they saw how this story was shaping up into one of falsity, and when they heard some question their motives and credibility, they ended their silence. They were accused of 'swiftboating' Bergdahl, which has come to imply, to some, that they were merely smearing his character. As the former troop leader to Bergdahl said, he's "not a hero, didn't serve with distinction. He needs to be held accountable and needs to answer for what he did." Additionally, there have been claims that several troops lost their lives in the search for Bergdahl.
Adding to the muddiness of this story, is the fact that Obama made this deal without notifying Congress; another lawless move in a long list of lawless moves by this President. This, of course, only served to throw fuel on the many fires this questionable exchange brought forth.
Bergdahl's fellow platoon mates waited five years to hear why he left them and the army. There are many unanswered questions. But, now that he's back, hopefully the real truth to all of this will emerge.
