Obama letter vile

The Spokesman-Review, you should be ashamed of yourself for the disrespectful, vile, hate-filled letter you printed from Jim Barbieri on Dec. 28 (“Obama has weakened America”). Never have I read such a letter of disrespect, hate and lies.

Comparing our president to mass murderers like Jim Jones and Hitler? I have news for Barbieri; he must be thinking of his predecessor when it comes to mass murder. Who was it that started a war on lies (I’m still wondering where those weapons of mass destruction are) and killing and maiming over 4,000 of our own troops and authorizing torture?

He needs to pull his head (also called our president “biracial”) away from Fox News long enough to realize some cold hard facts about our president, who he thinks “weakened America.”

Let’s see how he’s weakened America: Obamacare is working (I’m living proof), he has ended two wars, killed Osama bin Laden, has brought down unemployment below 6 percent, doubled the stock market and cut the deficit by two-thirds. And best of all, gas prices are down to $2.09 a gallon.

So if that is weakening America, I suggest he move where he thinks life would be better.
