Dear President Obama,
\nYou have insisted that your actions are guided not by ideology but a results-oriented “pragmatism”\u00a0 But as an unabashed progressive liberal, I don’t buy it.<\/p>\n
I do believe that you are intellegent and you think that you have the correct philosophy.\u00a0 But mainly your administration has been opaque.<\/p>\n
You did not stand up for Van Jones, or the agricultural secretary.\u00a0 You caved in on Afghanistan.\u00a0 But at least you fired General Mchrystal.\u00a0 You caved in on Health Care.\u00a0 You retreated from the Wall Street executives after heavy talk,\u00a0and then \u00a0implemented band aid solutions.\u00a0 Your support the New York mosque one day and take it all back the next.\u00a0 You seem to talk out of both sides of your mouth.<\/p>\n
I think I have finally figured it out.\u00a0 You are a smart black man that is always trying to appease the white man.\u00a0 That must be what you really learned in life.\u00a0 And you were very successful.<\/p>\n
But allow me to set you straight.\u00a0 You can not appease all of us white people.\u00a0 At some point you have to take a stand.\u00a0 Pick a side because like it or not white folks, especially the wealthy ones, can not be appeased.<\/p>\n
So I suggest you start standing up for people at the bottom, the elderly, the poor, labor and quit trying to appease wealthy white republicans.<\/p>\n
Oh and I am white<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
