GOP: Stop complaining about Obama's agenda

Your newspaper keeps publishing letters from Republicans full of hate and venom toward President Obama.

Why?

Obama took over and continued indefinitely the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld wars.

Obama is being just as hawkish on starting a war with Iran as three Republican contenders for nomination.

Obama cares no more about Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians than did Bush.

Obama took over Bush’s bailout of Wall Street.

Obama hired a bunch of the same “conservative” Wall Street characters who caused the financial debacle to run the Treasury and other government positions.

Obama refused to meet with proponents of single payer health care.

Obama instead met with representatives of the drug and insurance industries and gave them the kind of health insurance program they wanted, specifically the one modeled after the one given to the state of Massachusetts by a certain Republican contender for nomination.

Obama continues the operation of the Guantanamo concentration camp.

Obama continues the tradition of the repressive Patriot Act by signing the infamous National Defense Authorization Act, which forfeits our most basic civil liberties.

The list goes on and on.  Obama is doing an excellent job of carrying out the Republican agenda.

Yes, Obama has a dark skin, but of course, Republicans are not racists!

So Republicans, quit your complaining.
