Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on
your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate
representative of the United States of America collectively or of me
personally. You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the
Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the
President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the
citizens of the United States .. You are not responsible to the peoples
of any other country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the
United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care
about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World
War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of
the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the
Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history
of the 20th century? Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that
the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have
you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the
United States ? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and
the principles governing this country, at least until you came along,
come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans.
Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi
Arabia . You don't show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest
allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi
Arabia .. How dare you, sir! How dare you!

You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation
because you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a
mosque in Turkey .. You offended our dead and every veteran when you
give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German
people from themselves.
What's the matter with you?

I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the
historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed
of yourselves, all of you.

You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the
American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves
in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic,
the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend
to do about them?
Anything? I seriously doubt it.

What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses
to their staff members - on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay
raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House
aide got a 17% bonus.
I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven't
said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn't!

Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million
in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than
the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already
been awarded $51 million - not a bad take. Who authorized that and
why haven't you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely
responsible for the economic mess we have right now.

I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not
caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and
we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you.

I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything
you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.
I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a
chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.

Sincerely,
Every real American

P.S. I rarely ask that emails be 'passed around'.............PLEASE
SEND THIS TO YOUR EMAIL LIST......it's past time for all Americans to
wake up!

Thousands of children suffered physical and sexual abuse over several decades in residential institutions run by religious congregations, the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse has found.

The report published yesterday describes how children lived in “a climate of fear” in the institutions and finds that “sexual abuse was endemic in boys’ institutions”. Cases of sexual abuse were hidden by the congregations that ran the institutions and offenders were transferred to other locations where they were free to abuse again, the report says.

The commission, which was chaired by Mr Justice Seán Ryan, heard from more than 500 witnesses who said they had been sexually abused.There were also many reports of injuries, including broken bones, lacerations and bruising.

Eight chapters in the report are devoted to the Christian Brothers, the largest provider of residential care for boys in the State. More allegations were made against the Christian Brothers than all other male orders combined.

It turns out that this woman is real. However she apparently did not write the letter. Some jerk stole her name.

Was it a "leap creation"?

BTW, once many eons ago, the Who performed at what was then Anaheim Stadium before 70,000. My brother was a roadie at the time and he got me an onstage pass to take pictures of them -- 15 minutes of heaven, made all the more glorious by a very strong hit of orange.
