Hey Barrack, Remember that day job? You know, that one you still get paid For!

Mr. Obama,

I hate to be the one to remind of this fact as it seems to have slipped your quite busy mind and schedule these days, but sir you still have a day job that we the very people you intend to have vote for you in a very short time are still paying your salary. And will all due respect sir you at this point in time are doing one miserable job.

If as you claim will all your fabulous plays on words with your talented moving speeches and claims of "change", why then as the current new "leader" of your party have you not been at the helm of your party assisting in putting this disastrous new FISA bill back under some hidden rock where it belongs.

You sir, could have, indeed should have been fore and center leading the debate if not a full filibuster demanding that this bill, both parts be sent back to the drawing boards in whatever dark back rooms they do these things until the retroactive immunity was removed.

But no, sir, you instead decided instead to err on the side of caution, to err on the side of this misguided atrocity that currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to score political points with the pundits and independent voters than all who have supported you up until now.

How is it possible that you sir, who claim to once have been a "Constitutional Professor" have the audacity to verbally claim that this new bill and attachments is in any way shape or form in any way good for our nation, its people or our system of government?

How can you sir with a straight face stand there and look into those television cameras which you have come to adore so well and tell the American people that you will have your Attorney General "look into" these matters once you have been elected.

You sir and most of us American citizens know this claim for what it is. A bald faced and outright LIE. Once this administration is out of office you sir will do nothing to chase them down, investigate any of the crimes they have or are currently committing for by then the fraud that is currently in office will have by then pardoned everyone involved, skipped the country and you will have bigger fish to fry and will not want to "distract" the country with things that are already "old news".

Perhaps sir, perhaps, maybe if you spent some of the time you were doing the job you were being paid to do, in lieu of gallivanting across the nation at such a break-neck speed in an attempt to garner voters you may have missed in the primary season, perhaps sir, you might find yourself in the position to stop this cable of criminals before they place us in the position of fighting yet another war.

Perhaps sir, if your priorities did not include deciding whether or not join the "mile high club" in giving your acceptance speech at the convention indoors as opposed to outdoors, or perhaps sir finding the time to give Access Hollywood an interview as opposed to actually being on the floor of the Senate to vote on an issue that actually matters. Say for instance the cutting in funds of Medicare payments to Doctors.

Perhaps sir if you actually arrived in your office or made your presence known on the floor of the Senate you might have an influence in the abomination of the Housing bill that your friend Senator Dodd is trying to shove thru post haste. Surely on your crowded airplane you must have heard some rumors over that little item haven't you? You have heard sir, that millions of people are being foreclosed on their homes? Yet this bill, just as the one before sir does more to help out bankers, hedge funds and all of the monied people than it does to help the everyday Joe. Why is that sir?

Why is it sir that all of the members of Congress in both houses have a tendency to circle the wagons and protect the big boys while ranting and raving how they are doing this all for the sake of "main street"? It is all very reminiscent of Regan's "trickle down" economics, a study in economics that went so very well for all of us little people, but i digress and get off point forgetting he is one of those past president's you so admire.

Perhaps sir if you spent some time at you day job you would be able to offer an explanation as to why the long term unemployment has fallen more than 37 percent over the last year? Or why sir US business are filing for bankruptcy at a faster rate than ever before? Or even sir why pension funds are suffering such huge losses?

As to the high price of oil, pain at the pump, your stance/changes on so many other topics they just leave more confused than when you began.

Sadly sir I am left to decide than at this point in time although you are a very gifted and talented speaker, they are nothing more than words.

When one sits back and re-listens to your speeches after you have finished, fast forwarding and eliminating all of the screaming and applause, getting down to the basics of what you have actually said, there is really nothing there.

There is absolutely no substance in anything you have said, no proposals of how you are going to do anything you are claiming to do, much less exactly how you intend to pay for all of this. Oh it's very easy to skate by and say "there is going to be some pain". Well sir, pardon me, we are in the process of eight years of some very painful things and none of it was ever promised to us.

I have listened to all of your speeches and i am sorry to say that at this late date still have no idea actually of what you intend to do about anything positively on anything other than your grand illusion of Change.

Well sir, Change is a concept, and illusion and movement or a slogan.

The state our country is in at this very moment sir none of the above is going to help us very much and to you sir, i suggest perhaps it is time you get off the campaign trail for a couple days a week and go find out what your day job was all about.

Remember that was the place that started your endeavor and should you fail, well where you just may wind up back again.
