Poor Performing President

The local newspaper has a letter to the editor asking people to support the President. The writer puts forth a view that he would be doing a better job if only the Democrats would stop their collective foot dragging.

I beg to differ. The President is doing a very fine job of running our country right into the ground without support from any of us on the Democrat side. President Bush and a Republican controlled Congress led the country to invade Iraq on the basis of contrived evidence. Even the President has admitted there was no connection between Iraq and 9/11. Our continuing occupation of Iraq is a monetary and people drain the country cannot afford and certainly cannot sustain.

Dissent is a high form of patriotism. Without dissent and the allowance of such we would have a full dictatorship. I submit the President would be much better advised to listen to the voice of the people instead of the voices of the sycophants surrounding him in Washington. Maybe then we could restore our country to its rightful place in the world as a leader instead of an example of moral turpitude.
