This is a letter I would write to our POTUS if I were of a mind but this morning, so early, I doubt he would want to read it but let me put to words what I would want to convey to him ...

Dear Mr Obama,
You are approaching the end of your tenure as POTUS; a once great nation for I have lived here for sixty-six years and love this country very, very much. I have seen the best and the worst of this nation from both inside our borders and many forays in many other countries thus getting to sense and see foreign reactions to American issues and actions. Through all of that, I have never lost faith in my country for we always find way to do the best and to be the best not only for our own country but always with a view to the horizon of our global village. We have been the nation of choice to turn to when bad people begin to hurt other people. We have been the nation other nations longed to send their best to to get educated, build a life and career and to hope their children would appreciate the ethic and opportunity America provides.
But Sir, having lived through POTUS since Truman and observed in my older years the work and crafting of alliances, trade areas, creating bridges to prosperity and improved national safety, I dreadfully must admit that you and your Administration and approach to both foreign and domestic police is not only frightening but downright abysmal. To watch an elected POTUS come into this hallowed Office with such silver tongued rhetoric and the great hope for a new generation of all colors, you, Sir seem to be a miserable failure.
While I did not vote for you, not because you are black and not because you are Democrat but because I never felt a sense of peace and belief and credibility during my time watching you closely on CSPAN while you were a Congressman. But when you were elected with such a powerful mandate fueled by the minority vote in the nation for you had campaigned hard for that block by tearing down your predecessor instead of giving We the People clarity of your strategies and dreams for our nation; still I prayed for you and hoped that through my personal doubts, you would elevate to the office. Well, six years into this journey, I believe the world is seeing first hand that you are either amazingly naive or frighteningly cunning with an agenda to further incapacitate the energies and potential of this once great nation.
When I look back across the span of your tenure as POTUS, I find not a single nail I can hang my hat on to swell my chest and proudly state to anyone, this guy is doing a great job on X, Y or Z for there are not X, Y or Z's and please know, I look hard for the positives of this life and as an American. Six years at POTUS of this once great nation and what do we see as proof:
- inability to convince our "friends' anywhere in the world, to commit their "boots" thus their children and their future to this ISIS fight. That is so very sad but so very real. Why one would ask? I believe it is fundamentally that our "friends" have seen you dither, politic and cater to factions in our nation that are disruptive to the productive forces and capabilities of this nation.
- you apparent banner of success has been the Affordable Care Act that is seemingly a much predicted disaster that the state and federal courts are dismantling and we are seeing a tsunami of doctors and medical professionals leave the field because of the bureaucracy ACA has created while watching law houses across our land swell with new cases. It is my humble opinion that ACA was DOA before it left Washington and time is showing that to be the case. Yet you burned mountains of political capital to push this disaster into law. That is sad!
- Every few weeks I have been receiving an email from your Valerie Jarrett on my nation's White House letterhead espousing the LGBT newsletter touting all the great strides of "equality" under your clouded leadership and each time I see it arrive, I find my belly souring. For, Sir, if you have read the Bible, which I firmly doubt you have nor will, the LGBT is founded solidly on wrongful acts throughout the Bible so why should I idly see my nation's leadership, you, embrace and force on the people of this nation such an abominable wrong? Well, the short answer is, I should not and will not.
- Under your leadership, you have unilaterally moved our nation to an ideological crevice where every whelm and belief must be "tolerated" by everyone, everyone except those of us that claim Christ as our Savior and Lord; Christians we are called, oh, in the last couple of thousand years. May I underscore a simple but very fervent reality, Sir? Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong and no amount of Wrong WILL EVER make a Wrong, Right. What you stand for from my vantage societaly is Wrong and you are either blind to that or you have clear agenda for this nation's backward march to a third world, socialistic, Big Government view of everything. That, Sir, is un-American on a grand scale.
Mr. Obama, those four core elements listed above, and there are many others, formulate what I believe is a proof positive intent to change our nation, our way of life, our values, our beliefs and our hopes for better on the rocks of some ideology that most of us do not grasp but do not like. The apparent stumbling with dealing with ISIS, Ebola, scandals like Benghazi, IRS, VA are all on your watch and your tab,
Sir. I learned a very long time ago that what you see and hear on the news is usually at least a month after the fact. I believe there are unexploded mines of "bad" that have been kept from the camera lights while the spin machine is running in overdrive to try and keep the "bad" from the view of the world. That, Sir, is sad for you campaigned on transparency but your record and thus your legacy is diametrically opposed to that state of transparency. Sir, please know, I have come to a place where I have chosen to believe not a single syllable that exits your mouth nor your henchpersons you surround yourself with for advice. Sir, you are getting some very flawed, ill timed and wrong advice if you were not aware of it! I mean, how can something as large and as cancerous as ISIS apparently surprise you, right?
Sir, I will close by simply stating I have lost what little faith I mustered to have in you. I have not been overly critical of you but have watched closely. I have chosen to believe beyond belief but each time that choice is dashed on the rocks of reality. You, Sir, are beyond a failed President, you are an embarrassment to this once great nation and for that, there is no excuse, none mind you!
As a lame duck with an even lamer Congress, that bodes even worse for this once great nation. I am not one to lean toward conspiracy theories but I have to tell you you give us all the ammunition we need to begin to draw such sick assumptions about your intent, your approach and your latent desires. This is all made more acidic in watching the apparent arrogancy and spending you and your family display not to mention using my airplane, you know, that big one called Air Force One, to leave the leadership chair via presence in Washington to campaign and fund raise and vacation on We the People's dime instead of We the People seeing evidence that you and this dysfunctional Congress seem to really care about about staying on the job, finding ways to get things done but you know, I have about decided that is all part of the plan!
Sir. prove, I implore you, prove me wrong, PLEASE!
