Defending POTUS

From Hannah Provence Donigan, Commerce Township:

Eric Nagler (“Obama’s record,” May 2) criticized Denise “Chip” Black for her April 25 letter (“Supporting Obama”) in which she indicated President Obama deserved four more years because of his wonderful track record. He accused our president of not speaking about his record whenever he speaks to Americans. He accuses Obama of practicing a policy of divisiveness and denigrating anyone who opposes big government.

I must live on another planet, because I have heard President Obama speak about these accomplishments:

• The Affordable Care Act, which will provide quality health care for all at lower costs;

• Helping small businesses continue a grow in order to help solve the unemployment problem;

• Ending Wall Street abuses;

• Giving all Americans a fair shot at middle class security, from education to fair tax rates to health care;

• Working toward student loan reform and stressing all types of post high school education/training, including skilled labor;

• Helping to protect the environment;

• Bringing the war in Iraq to a responsible end, as well as ridding the world of Osama Bin Laden; and

• Helping veterans find good jobs and improving access to better health care.

Divisiveness, denigration and failure to solve problems have resulted from the Republican-controlled Congress, which refuses to compromise and follows the mantra of “no” — especially “no new taxes.”

    Yes, HPD, you do live on another planet- the planet of DCDNW- Democrats Can Do No Wrong. I, too, have heard our President speak of the things which you mention, but I urge you to use your God-given brain to decipher between talk and reality. Your use of selective adjectives in your points is admirable, but misleading. However your largest error was in closing: Democrats are superb at blaming the opposite party for their own propaganda of divisiveness, denigration and splitting up Americans into different classes. And i thought you were smarter than a 5th grader to know that currrently only the US House of Representatives has a Republican majority, while the Senate is solidly in Democrats hands, along with the Presidency. So, you should be extremely happy the way things are going now and in the next 3 years post-Obama, because that’s apparently the waiting time for Democrats to take responsibility for their own actions and to stop blaming the previous administration. Let’s have intelligent civil discourse.

    Vote for Obama or vote for a religious zealot who is disengaged from almost every aspect of our culture.
