Open Letter of Congratulations to our Noble, Honorable President, Barack Obama

Congratulations, President Obama!!
 

My story is that I started writing again -- after a 9 year fallow period; mostly afraid to speak my mind politically while Bush was in power -- about a week or two after you were inaugurated. You have brought incredible joy back into my life and that of my wife's (I'm 59; she's74 years old). I have written that the fact that you were elected, an authentic person, is an auspicious sign that "Something Wonderful is Going to Happen." You were too young, but with John Lennon and people like him of my generation, we felt that wonderful things could only happen. But then the moneyed interests changed what was taught in universities, changed what was allowed to be published in books, changed what the media would report, and changed what the history books would say -- having been witness to some of these events I am aware of how even our history has been shaped to suit the super-rich.

I had given up hope. You gave me back my hope. Don't let us down, Barack. I don't think you know how twisted are the brains of Republicans. Joe Biden and I come from the same part of the country, and he speaks plain talk. Listen to him tell it straight. But thanks for renewing my life and my wife's. We are fully in your corner, speaking out on many blogs and websites.

This is wonderful that the world recognizes your heart and your steadiness. Please don't let the snakes snooker you. It's one thing to know of the audacity of hope and to look toward the light, but as your forefathers did when traveling the Underground Railroad, keep your ears and eyes to the back also to keep an eye on the dogs, the guns, and the wild eyes. They want you down. Please don't let them. Continue to stand tall and noble and following your divine inner wisdom as to the right thing to do for all the people. God will support you -- the good and loving one. And all but the sad zombie Americans will too; and that is at least two-thirds for whom it is obvious you are a sincere, hard-working man, with no hidden agenda, no need to lie, and you are what you appear to be; you are authentic. 

Don't forget those two-thirds of Americans witnessed just before you a President who is running hard to be tagged the biggest liar we've ever had in that high office, by many counts he is far ahead of everyone. Your manner is such a contrast to him -- his awkward stiff talks before hand-picked crowds bespoke the incredible struggle he had to try to keep the tangled web from becoming soooo obvious that even he would be embarrassed by his pathetic fictions concocted only to distract American's eyes from the abject thievery that went on unabated for eight years. Your relaxed easygoing manner contrasted with your predecessor's fervid paranoid one sends out a message of calmness to even the suffering that this America's captain can command the complexities he faces and has come into office seeking only a better America for us all rather than obscene and increasingly obese profits for a few.  With such clear and transparent example, you may even win over some of the crazies.  Some.  The world and America loves you when you speak and act authentically and righteously and do not give an inch to the filthy rich zombies who have stolen from this country and brought the world to its knees.

 

Indeed for my wife and me, they have taken all our money and our house. But we will be going around the country, traveling in our RV, and helping suffering people, and helping promote the causes that you and I both believe in.  You know, I was a community organizer too.  I, with a group of others, and with our mutual friend Peter deFazio, brought down nuclear power in this country by creating the largest bond default in history on the grounds that the people of the Northwest were going to be indebted to the tune of$8,000 per household because of the corruption by the rich in the WPPS scandal. But we beat them by finding democratic law on the books in Springfield, Oregon that did not allow public officials to in-debt their constituents over a certain amount without there being a vote. Since there was no vote, the court declared that the people of Springfield could not be charged with the exorbitant misdeeds of the mad investors. Not much different from what happened before you came into office, except the rich this time did get away with it.

Please be strong. Democracy is not just an olive branch; it is a hammer against the thugs that would rob the people of a decent life. Remember your mother and her last days. That is not America. But then again, it is America now, even though the rest of the Western Civilized World would not have allowed such a thing as happened to your mother. We need to become noble again. The whole world is supporting you, this prize is an indication of that. Put the Republican crazies behind you just as Jesus said, "get thee behind me Satan."

You will have immense strength. Sathya Sai Baba will not let you fail. You must continue to speak out against this continual rising of wealth into the hands of the very few and this descent into Dickens' England for the 97% of the rest of us. God gave you all you need to keep the U.S. from becoming another Mexico, or some other third world country.

So, congratulations! You know the world is with you; please remember that an unusually high percentage of Americans are too. Do not be afraid to use your hammer.  Remember presidents who were called "trust-busters" and of whom they said "Give 'em hell, Harry."  You are that kind of President.  Stay strong, be bold. We've got your back, my friend. I thank you for taking on this job. My wife prays for you; and my actions are my prayers to educate people to the correctness of what you do and the, well, idiocy and mean-spiritedness, of those that oppose you.

Take strength in the love of us millions, knowing that we are all One, and that you cannot fall without all of us falling.

Do the great things you are capable of.  There are many of us at this time dedicating our lives and making the big push now, with you in office, as we have waited since November 23rd, 1963 for the lying times to end and for there to be the chance that Kennedy once opened our minds to see. That time is now. It is our time, It is your time to lead. You have been blessed with the skills....

and this time

this time,

we shall not fail

we shall not fail.

We SHALL overcome.

 

OK, now, Barack.  Got Nobel Prize?

Got Nobel Prize? Ok.

Ok then.

Fired up?

Ready to go?

Fired up?

Ready to go?

Good then.  Because we sure as hell are too.

Congratulations on this great honor.

Now be it, like you know you can.

All the best.

And just as on the individual level, if our nation -- specifically right now our government -- continues to deny,
refuses to let our truth rise up to heal us, or simply, as Obama may end up doing, look the other way on the grounds that there are more important things to deal with, well then as a nation -- just as individuals, we are driven to continually re-enact our biggest mistakes over and over despite our best efforts not to -- so also on the level of the nation or society, we will fix a problem only to see it rise up again during the next election cycle. In fact, it is exactly that lack of facing the truth that Reagonomics not only almost quadrupled the national debt during the 12 years of Reagan and Bush, Sr., not only did it severely unbalance the budget, but it caused a recession so important that it led to Clinton winning the Presidency on the slogan "It's the economy, stupid!" Despite the fact the Clinton reversed that downswing dramatically by REVERSING Reaganomics; and despite the fact that his policies helped create one of the most prosperous decades in recent history, even leaving a surplus for the next administration. But our country was not about to call Reagan wrong at that time; too many idiots felt that somehow we had to treat him like a nice Grandad and not say anything unseemly, regardless of how the rest of the country will fare. And it was just that lack of truth-telling of the obvious, so as not to smear Reagan, though his economics was a horrible failure and it had been proven to be so, that allowed Bush to come in and go about doing Reagan's mistake, only doing it several powers greater and doing it sooner. Bush came in and gave the budget surplus to the wealthy, without a peep from any in the media or any outrage on the part of Americans, most of whom had suffered through the recession only a decade earlier. But the average American would not know economics like the experts, the media, and the government. So it was tragic to refuse to point out that Bush's ideas had already been tried by Reagan and his father with horrible consequences. Everyone kept quiet and suppressed the knowledge of their own experience. What happened? We "were doomed to repeat it," only karma seemed to have a part because we are not just repeating it. We are being punished severely with one of the worst economic downturns in America's history; and it seems to me we deserve it because obviously the lesser medicine did not teach Americans and their media and leaders a damn thing; but with this one; oh, well, NOW, we are hearing that trickle-down Reaganomics started it all. So if we are too stupid to learn from a mistake, that mistake will come back bigger and bigger until we wake up and realize that the path we are on is not working.

Now this is very important, why?

Because scholars have determined that in studying the actions of Bush-Cheney, America, for the first time in its history, went into a dictatorship, meaning that their policies, which involved tossing out the Constitution, and pillar-by-pillar removing the foundations of our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy, including even the right to have a vote that will be counted, or more specifically, will be counted in favor of the person you voted for, not counted toward the opponent. Consider that the ones with expertise in poring over all the documents and data have determined that we had a smokescreen of democracy and freedom talk, but that actually we were living in a dictatorship.

Now, if that is something that we do not face, or we turn our heads from; well we didn't have the concentration camps, but not all dictatorships do. But just as when we didn't learn our economics when we had received a good spanking in the early 90s for giving money to people who didn't need it - and wasted it - while people who needed money were getting budget cutbacks, and the standard of living and the average pay in America was going down for the first time. After you look at what happened under Bush, and there are scholars galore putting out books delineating the ways in which our Executive Branch acted as literal traitors, and worse, to America, and list the grounds upon which Bush and Cheney would be tried for murder, for starters, if they were anyone else in America. And it is too painful for me to even read what they did, though I do read it, and just let the crying come. But you're going to have to do that for yourself, because it would be even more painful to delineate it again. Others are doing that job. I will have to pass; but I will make my point based on the work they've done.

And my point is this: If these truths are not faced by our country, God help us. For just as voodoo economics returned, with results many, many times worse than the first time; well, what can we imagine would happen if we don't face the truth about the dictatorship of George W. Bush, the loss of rights and freedom and honest elections? For one thing, consider how easily this dictator rose to power. Our supposed democracy didn't stop him, like it is assumed democracy will. If we don't take in that lesson, not only are we doomed to repeat these horrible eight years, but we are leaving a door wide open for the next one; and if you think you have to have concentration camps in order to see dictatorship, well, gee, just guess what you are going to get under the next American dictator.

HTML clipboard"8 Years" is an artistic rendition of feelings swirling around myself and my fellow Americans, living for eight long years under what a number of scholars have officially determined was -- as meeting all the criteria necessary to categorize and as characterized by all the elements by which one defines it -- the "dictatorship" of so-called President George W. Bush, from the years 2001 through 2009.
