You've Got Mail

One of the more entertaining Obama-haranguing writers is David Michael Green.  He didn't like a recent email from the Obama people. (I don't even read mine anymore.)

Right before the Massachusetts contest, Barack sent an email urging me to help out the hapless Coakley campaign. He said, “David, If you were fired up in the last election, I need you more fired up in this election”. And then he went up there and did a rally for his candidate, telling people that “Bankers don’t need another vote in the United States Senate. They’ve got plenty.” And then his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, told us that a key theme of 2010 will be asking voters “whether the people they have in Washington are on the side of protecting the big banks, whether they’re on the side of protecting the big oil companies, whether they’re on the side of protecting insurance companies or whether they’re on the people’s side.”

Well, Barack, if you’re reading this, let me first thank you for your note. How kind of you to write. And, yes, as a matter of fact, I was a bit fired up for the last election. But, no, I wouldn’t dream of being fired up for you or your party again this year, and perhaps not ever again any year, as a matter of fact. And you’re a big reason for that, my friend. You see – how shall I put this? – bankers don’t need another vote in the White House. They’ve got plenty. And since you’ve decided to ask folks in 2010 which side the people they have in Washington are on, my answer is that they are overwhelmingly on the side of protecting the big banks, on the side of protecting the big oil companies, and on the side of protecting insurance companies.

Oh, and perhaps you haven’t noticed, but you and your party won the last two elections. The ‘people we have in Washington’ right now are not they, but rather you.

And you’re wrecking the country and the world.
