One can sum up the real problem in our country with one word — Republican! President Barack Obama has only been in office one year, and Republicans are trying to convince people that he has created this mess.
Have you forgotten that it was President George W. Bush and the Republicans who got us into this mess? Remember, when Bush took office, we had the largest surplus in our nation’s history — and they gave it away. The rich got it. If it were up to Republicans, you wouldn’t have Social Security or Medicare. Republicans won’t even go along with extending unemployment benefits for the millions that they put out of work. But, when have Republicans done anything for a working person? Now, why in the world would you want to put any Republican back in office? Anyone who votes for a Republican, after what they have done to our country, needs to go hungry. Do you have sucker written on your forehead? You must have.
During President Obama’s first year, Republicans have worked overtime to keep him from getting anything done that would help fix this mess that they made. It will take years to repair the damage that’s been done to our nation. If you think President Obama can fix it in one year, then you are living in a dream world. The Party of No (Republican Party) did us in.
Finally, remember it was the Republican Party that gave tax cuts to companies, closed up shop in America and took your job to a foreign country.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.
