Obama, you're not in Chicago anymore

I have sent this letter to the President of the United States and honestly believe everyone should see this.

Sir: As a retired Navy Petty Officer, I feel it is my duty to ask you and your administration a couple questions.

1. Why have you selected and supported men and women with such radical views, for example Van Jones, who has claimed that whites are poisoning minorities, and spraying illegal aliens with poison? A car Czar who knows nothing about the auto industry and yet you allowed him to force a private company to remove its CEO? I thought government was not to interfere with private enterprise?

2. During the election you promised change, is this the change you where speaking of? You promised us transparency, yet things are being done behind closed doors more and more often, bills being written by groups that do not seem to hold the interest of this country as their priority, instead they hold their views of how the world should be. For the first time in my life I can say that I am afraid for my country and have lost my trust in the civilian government.

Sir, you seem to have forgotten that you are the President of the United States and no longer a Chicago activist. Have you forgotten the Chicago way is backroom meetings, corruption and coercion?

You represent all of us, not just those that agree with your viewpoints and voted for you, or as you put it back during your first 100 days, "we won." It seems that since you feel that you have the right to say the heck with everyone else that might disagree with you, after all you won.
