Dear President Obama:

After countless failures and broken promises, you've finally started to ask for some answers rather than dictating socialist prescriptions that can never work. You have led your fellow national socialist Democrats to spend money like ghetto addicts with a stolen credit card. Your cabal of socialists will have more than doubled our national debt by the time you leave office and increased long term liabilities beyond a hundred trillion dollars. You have maxed out the national FED credit card.
