Letter filled with false, offensive comments

In response to Robin Ulbredtch letter to the editor which appears to possibly be racially motivated with the last indecipherable and cryptic item 12: “Who has the same color of skin as us, even when they’re evil? Consider carefully; vote accordingly!”

“WHAT?”

It appears that he has read and believed way too many right-wing paranoid attack emails.

He accuses Obama of the following:

1. Refuses to salute the flag. Get a grip!

2. Abuse of executive orders? Ironic when you consider Republicans believe that the president should be a “ strong unitary executive” power to use signing statement and executive orders to give the president quasi judicial and legislative powers.

3. Obama put hidden legislation in the fine print of bills? What, like all political parties have done forever?

4. Votes for his own agenda? What should he do? Take a poll and then vote against his own agenda?

5. Obama apologized to foreign countries. If a wedding party is targeted and killed or a drone strike kills 40 kids in a schoolyard, by all means we are America and we do not apologize because we are “exceptional.”

6. Obama wants to disarm our nation so we can be conquered! “That is some serious paranoia. Wow.” Then goes on to say Obama will bring the curse of God upon us. “Nothing like the cognitive dissonance of right-wing evangelical politics.” Wow.

7. Refuses to protect Israel (Refuses to start any more wars in the Middle East, you mean?)

9. Allows immigrants to get welfare? Totally false

10. Does not support family life or education? You must be kidding it is conservatives who want to cut Pell Grants and teaching jobs not Obama.

11. Obama stole from the Social Security fund? You mean the savings that even Romney and Ryan use in their own calculations.

The only president to steal from Social Security was Reagan with the help of Alan Greenspan in 1986.
