Dear Mr. President

It pains me to have to call him such. But out of respect of the office, I do. In my opinion, he is not worthy of the title. And his recent actions only further confirm my belief.

And before all my race haters get fired up, let me be the first to tell you it has NOTHING to do with the color of the man's skin. As I've said before, I don't even consider him black. How anyone can look at him and see black is beyond me. More middle Eastern blood runs through his veins than anything.

The color of his skin nor his heritage disqualifies him from holding office. I could rant on about his nationality, but that horse was killed a while back. No sense wasting time now on any of that. One of these days the truth will come out, and we'll all shake our heads in disbelief.

But that day will come long after he has divided the people of this great nation and bankrupt it. To gain office, he drove a wedge between the "haves" and the "have nots". In his first term, he did his level best to implement socialism by increasing the number of people depending upon the government. That move ensured his reelection. There are far fewer of us contributing to the system these days than those of us taking from it. Our national debt is evidence of that.

The race relations in this country have seriously declined in the last five years since he has taken office. He encourages us to not use stereotypes to categorize ourselves or each other. However, he continually interjects himself into situations that have race at the core, baiting the races against each other.

In the beginning, to say Martin could have been his son only served to incite the blacks against the system. Once the verdict came down, he at first encouraged the nation to unite to find a solution to avoid the tragedy from ever happening again. But yesterday he changed his tone. Now Martin could have been him 35 years ago. Now he's been racially profiled, like all black males, his entire life until he became "famous".

As the executive of the judicial system, his job is to support the due process of the law. He is supposed to be the source of balance in this country when we are unstable. His personal feelings, experiences, and desires are not to interfere with his duty of being the leader of this country.

Does racism exist? Yes. But so does discrimination of homosexuals, foreigners, North vs. South, Jews, Muslims, females, uneducated people... The list goes on and on. Everyone of us has probably been discriminated against in one way or another somewhere along the way. We could dwell on our differences to the point of alienating everyone in our lives if we let ourselves.

But the common thread of us being Americans is what should unite us. And we should be able to depend upon the president of the United States to lead us in that endeavor. Was he a civil rights lawyer at one point in his life fighting social injustice? Yes. But that was then. This is now! If he does not feel compelled to do that, then he should step down. We need a leader, not an inciter of civil war.

So, Dear Mr. President. Do your job, or go home, wherever that may be!
