When I read letters to the editor telling us of the president's brilliance, I know what they have been watching, and I know they have not been reading reputable news sources. It is frustrating for the 70% or so of the country to observe so many of our fellow citizens being taken in by the propaganda they are fed daily, and their refusal to read legitimate news. Our economy is in shambles and we are losing our retirement savings, our reputation is destroyed and will never be what it once was, and it will take decades to put our democracy back in order, if that is possible, once this nightmare is over. But the lives that have been destroyed can never be put back together. I could go on and on listing the tragedy of the last 14 months including the lives lost, but it would be wasted on the people who need to listen.
I am going to share the words of the great Mark Twain and offer some advice to the people who preach about the peace president's greatness. "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
