Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President,

    I was reading part of your interview with ABC this evening.  It’s funny:  You always seem like such a nice guy.  You sound so well-meaning.   You make it very hard for people to dislike you or blame you or be angry with you.

     Can it truely be the case that you don’t see the evil you have committed?  Do you really think you have stuck by your principles?  What principles do you mean?  Can torture be one of your principles?  Can rewarding banks for defrauding millions of their customers be one of your principles?  Can allowing corruption decide the policies of a country which we are occupying be one of your principles? 

    Can lying to the American people in order to justify an illegal war be one of your principles?  Can sending young people into harm’s way for nothing be one of your principles?

     If this is true, then I wish your principles had gone the way of the principle I have lost in the stock market.

 

Sincerely, VNV
