if you're disappointed with obama now:

having "solidified his base", just wait until he "moves toward the center" as re-election season draws near....





dear president obama,

you can secure re-election in a landslide by getting congress to ram through a health care bill with a strong public option. have reid use reconciliation or nuke the filibuster if need be. and screw the lengthy phase-in period. people need to see results BEFORE they re-elect you.

thank you,

p.s. i'm a connecticut democrat and like the overwhelming majority here, we voted against lieberman, who held his seat thanks to gaining 90% of the *republican* vote. *he does not represent our side*. kick him to the curb.

1. I'd suggest you have someone edit that before sending it. Obama might think you're a moron.

6. In case you haven't noticed, Obama thinks we're ALL morons.

2. If you hope to influence anyone, capitalize the appropriate words,

skip the slang, and explain yourself more fully in proper English. Letters that don't do that are discarded immediately by whomever screens the mail.

5. i'm not sending him any letters, i'm just posting on du.

and no politician is taking advice from me or anyone else without it being accompanied either by a larger campaign contribution than i can afford or care to give, or by seriously and successfully field-tested political campaign credentials, which i, sadly, lack.

and if you think slang has no place in politics, then you haven't been paying attention.

Um, cuz it doesn't work that way, not with this congress.
