Of Thee I Cringe

In between his basketball and golf games, President Obama has found the time to write a book. It is a children's book published--surprise, surprise--just in time for the Christmas gift-buying season. He severely botched management of the Gulf Oil Spill through delay, wasted trillions in pork that did nothing to help our economic recession, ramrodded through massive health care changes that leave businesses crippled and fearful about the future, has made us a laughing stock among the international community, and still he takes the time to write a children's book.

Exasperation with this book is not limited to his taking the time to write it. The title tramples too close to hallowed ground. "Of Thee I Sing" are words from a patriot's love song to America: "My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty of thee I sing." Obama hijacks these words for the name of a book praising his daughters Malia and Sasha. Anglicat is tired of Obama and his wife dissing America. Remember how Michelle said after her husband's nomination that FOR THE FIRST TIME, she was proud of America? So Obama's heart does not swell with pride over this once-great land; it swells for his privileged daughters. No surprise here, given all the apologizing he has done to foreign leaders concerning what he considers America's faults. We so need to return to the White House a first family that appreciates, loves, and sings the praises of America.

Glad you love your daughters. B.O. but please save any future book writing for your retirement years. May those years come very soon. Meanwhile, please give a few thoughts of gratitude to the country and people that made your meteoric rise to affluence and power possible. Do you think that could have happened in any other nation?
