Hope And Change?

Adrian --

It's no secret that I'm a big believer in hope and change.

But I'm also a big believer in reality. Hope that is not rooted in reality will never lead to the change we desire.

If you don't like things you see, you can't just close your eyes and long for something better. You've got to open them, embrace reality, and channel that hope into action.

America didn't become that shining city on the hill by wishing for it. We built it with clear eyes, righteous ambition, and unwavering determination.

So I'm asking you to recall that unlikely story of America -- a story that forever validates our hope -- and help write its next chapter.

I'm asking you to be neither blind to, nor dismayed by, reality -- but motivated by it.

There is no time to feel discouraged. Now is the time to get organizing with OFA for November's crucial midterms.

Adrian, those who believe in democracy and civil rights and a common humanity will always have the upper hand. That's not just something I want to believe; I believe it because history has proven it true.

But history has also proven that virtue alone is not enough. A better vision will only prevail if we work tirelessly on behalf of that vision.

If we want a more representative, more just, more inclusive democracy, we need to keep fighting for it.

If we want policies that lift up the most vulnerable instead of politicians who put them down, we need to keep organizing.

If we want a more perfect union, we need to build it together, from the bottom up.

Say you'll do the work to make this vision a reality:  

Thank you,  Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States

Dear Mr. Obama:

I should not have to remind a "Constitutional law professor" we are not a "democracy," but a constitutional republic or note such use of "democracy" is nothing short of propaganda as it cannot exist in a modern world, even with "iPhones."  Ours is the most efficient and effective form of government.  It is not working for several reasons:

Corrpution is rampant when Hillary Clinton gets away with treason selling 20% of our uranium reserve for a $145.5 million donation to her "charitable foundation."  A private audit showed she and Bill keep 96% of everything donated!

Where Russia has 8% of the world's uranium reserve and we but 1%, their taking 20% of ours is an act of war, be it econmic or strategic only time will tell.  Either is an act of treason.

It is fitting you should speak out now and confirm that you do not know how bad a President you were.  Your party lost 1200 elected seats while you were in office, but no one complained for fear of being called a racist as you are half-black.  Where your Presidency should have ended racism concern in America it has only made it worse due to your handling of the issue.  You supported every "black" felon killed by police, right-or-wrong, and promoted attitudes in the "black" community that got more killed.  You are the last person that should be complaining as you are now, Mr Obama.
