Dear Editor:
After his election the American people have spoken as to how the congress should direct their efforts. A majority has spoken but did the Obummer lawmakers listen?
* Our Secretary of Treasury warned congress that NOT raising the nation debt could have catastrophic consequences. When our voice was heard 92.9 percent said we should reduce spending before putting every American taxpayer further in the hold.
* President Obummer has used his power to make recess appointment to fill six vacant positions. Thereby passing congressional approval. Among those selected appointments was the appointment of James Cole, a friend of Attorney General Eric Holder. Once again the American public spoke - 83 percent of us voters said yes that the president clearly abuses this power. Should we remove that power?
* There was another question asked. How would you rate the lame duck congress - 86 percent said there are Turkeys and Losers. They proved why voters wanted change in November.
* Here's another kick in the pants for you. The principal in a Brookline, Mass. school asked parents to fill out permission slips before their children could participate in a weekly pledge of America. What did our fighting men and women in the military loose their lives for if we cannot or need permission to pledge allegiance to our country? Why should a principal have that power to invoke this policy on our children?
* Did you know that the 111th Congress added more debt to our nation that the first 100 Congresses combined? WOW.
* What ever happened to the image of the president as a Chia Pet that was on the on store shelves of our community? Perhaps it was used to grow seeds in the White House garden?
* WIKILEAKS - If our government wants to keep classified documents, perhaps they should be kept in the same place as Obummers college transcripts and his birth certificate.
* Lastly, this year both Groundhog Day and The President's State of the Union Address come out on the same day. As Air Radio pointed out one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other is a groundhog.
You decide.

OK, I'll use small words as much as I can so you can understand "Treger." You're too easy to embarrass:
1. Cite your source for any and all statistics. 94% of all statistics are made up.
2. Wow, someone hired a friend in politics. In other news, the sun rises in the east.
3. If you hate the lame duck session of Congress, please volunteer your tax cuts back to the Treasury. Yeah, I knew you'd hesitate when the money comes out of your pocket.
4. Don't bring soldiers into the pledge argument. That's like telling me that God is love, love is blind, so Ray Charles must be God.
5. Again, show me the real numbers and the cited source. FYI Beck, Hannity, El-Chubbo, O'Reilly, and FOX News aren't legitimate news sources. Show me numbers direct from the US Treasury or Congressional Budget Office. Otherwise it's propaganda. (Sorry for that big word. Otherwise it's bull s--t).
6. You're so funny with the Chia Pet line. Wow, comedy this good should be on Leno! Oh wait, he isn't funny either. Wow was your joke stupid. Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a small child?
7. Wikileaks is a failure of multiple governments. Government intelligence seems to rival yours. Zilch. As for the President, he was and is an American citizen. All of you birther nuts need to realize he presents the documents to the Federal Election Commission upon registering his candidacy. Fraudulent documents mean no run but hello Federal prison. And he doesn't need to show you his papers. The only reason you want it is bigotry for a man of dark skin and funny name.
8. Who the heck is Air Radio? Must be some wing nut channel that you get statistics from. This was the first time I can ever recall the SOTU being lectured to a completely blended audience, and while less hoopla, it worked really well. Even the stupid rat we drag out annually to lie to us about weather could get that one Treger.
Take off the tin foil hat, turn off Gunther on 790, put down that drivel by Glenn Beck, and watch a real intellectual debate on PBS for 10 minutes. I'll take the under that your head will explode from your brain lacking the physical ability to understand rational thought.
