Re: Does Obama deserve four more
years?, January 5, 2010
Dear Editor,
I wholeheartedly agree with Kervin
Fondren that President Obama should be allowed to finish what he
started with a return to the White House in 2012. The President has
certainly ruffled a lot of feathers in certain quarters simply by
focusing on stakeholders, rather than shareholders, and for this
reason the feather-ruffling should be allowed to continue for another four years.
Abraham Lincoln once said “Government
of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from
the Earth.” I'm sure this idea must seem very threatening to
Republicans and the Tea Party movement. Their continuous demands that
government be trimmed and gutted to skeletal proportions seems to
imply a distaste for their fellow citizens, or at least those who
can't afford country club memberships.
In my opinion it is President Obama's
insistence on serving all people, rather than just elite people, that
truly rankles his enemies on the right.
Having said all that, however, I would
be delighted if President Obama decided to relocate to my country and
run for Prime Minister, as we have some neo-conservative androids in
power who need replacing.

This is fab commentary! With corporate greed chasing our American tails by taking hard-earned benefits, health insurance, pensions and our dignity; we've become a meager society at best. We need a mouth for the poor because there is no middle class left.
