Dear
Congressman,
Re: I was
told…
We have
come to expect this, alas, from your “president.” But what an ungracious,
tasteless and entirely gratuitous insult not only to Obama but to others of his
predecessors yesterday! He casually accused them, in a public forum, of having
failed in their duty to express condolences to the families of fallen soldiers.
When questioned further by a disbelieving reporter, he retreated a fraction
with the tiresomely familiar excuse: I was told.
Who told
him? He did not deign to say. But he insisted, of course, that none of his
predecessors had done this as well as he does—in spite of the fact that he
allowed two full weeks to elapse before even mentioning the loss. He insisted
that he had personally signed letters to send out “tonight or tomorrow.” Do we
believe this, too? I think not.
The
arrogance itself is astounding, as is the casual ease with which the man tells
his lies. The accompanying self-congratulation and aggrandizement redouble the
crass tastelessness of the president’s groundless accusation.
Is it not
time that you, as a conservative US Congressman, stood up to this kind of
behavior? Where are your conservative values? Where is your sense of propriety?
Where is your sense of responsibility to those who entrusted you with your office?
We expect nothing less of you than a public rebuke for this gratuitous attack
on our former presidents, and this cavalier disrespect for those who have given
their lives.
Hear
something? Say something!
