Obama earning his criticism

The Spokesman-Review

This is in response to Charles Bowman’s “Quit bashing Obama” letter from June 11. Mr. Bowman, the last eight years have been nothing but Bush bashing, yet you can’t handle six months.

Bush may have had his faults, like all presidents, but Obama is fundamentally changing this country and doing so at a rapid pace. Bush did not ruin this country’s reputation; he did his job and cared more about our best interests than that of countries who wish to kill us.

You’re offended by a cartoon depicting the truth, yet your president apologizing to countries which hate us and bowing to foreign kings does not?

You are the typical liberal; we must tolerate your views and your disrespect for a president because it is “patriotic,” but when we do it we are radical right wingers.

I did not vote for Mr. Obama, yet I do not wish for him to fail because it would mean the country fails. The problem is he only cares about himself, how he is received and viewed by the world, not this country. “Quit bashing this country Mr. Obama,” that is a much better headline.
