Dear President Obama

Re: Dear President Obama

Halliburton screwed up my last open-hole logging job with a borehole compensated sonic tool that failed ... followed by a sidewall coring tool that wouldn't work. After tripping in and out of the hole numerous times to check the tools; hot-shotting a second coring tool that failed; wasting 18 hours of rig time (@ a rig cost of $20,000/day) and recovering only four lousy 1.5" sidewall cores, I told the Halliburton representative that the next time I needed a good logging firm, I would call Schlumberger and sent him packing. :rant:

I'm glad to hear that Schlumberger's coring tools are regarded well. I helped design the alloys used in them.

Dear Mr. Obama

Bush gave 167 promises to us, you gave 510 according to radio stats. If you could at least give us half of those 510 I think...that would be impossible.....so I'll make it more simple.

Please just tell me what old Joe meant by me "embracing what is right". Was it a joke...and if so why was it apart of this "historic" day?

Except, like, the corporation itself. Now you know. Consider it a free lesson from me since opening a browser window and typing a few characters was too difficult for you.

Hell, you bothered to respond. That energy could have been well-spent learning the name of one of the Fortune 500 companies.

Minor and obscure spelling mistakes are certainly worth this amount of dripping sarcasm and blatant flaming, oh yes. You want to say something in PMs or am I going to have to do more?:nono:

Dear Mr. President,

Stop pretending that you are cutting taxes.

Zappa wasn't specific. I would play it safe and not eat any yellowish ice.

Please don't escalate the war in Afganistan as you promised you would. We don't want any more dead swedish soldiers in your war.

Ooooh, I vote for Amra.

Odd, I would tend to agree with VD's. And that doesn't happen often.

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for suspending the trials, signing orders to close Gitmo Bay prison as soon as possible. and banning harsh treatments of prisoners. Thank you as well for shutting down the secret CIA prisons in foreign countries.

In your first few days in office, you have already reversed some of the more heinous policies of the Bush administration.

There is much more work to be done, but this is a step in the right direction.


Regards,

Llad

Because we have so many to spare that we might aswell kill off a few.

Well yes, but to be fair I feel the "unbelievers will be eliminated" vibe was at least as true of the Bush administration as Obama's promises to be.

Neat.

Re: Dear President Obama

Why question the use of the word "historic"? All presidencies are historic.

I'll keep my letter short:

Dear President Obama,

Don't screw it up. Don't give in to special interests. You are in no one's pocket, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you can make my life and this country better, you might even get my vote 4 years down the road.

Sincerely,
AJ

Well spoken IMO.

The highlighted part is what I would expect from him as well if I was a US American.

Meh. I never received that impression. Rather, I felt that Bush tolerated poor performance for the sake of downward loyalty. That's a wonderful characteristic to have in your boss - particularly if you're a back-stabbing, partisan bastage who's trying to feather a nest.

The Obamessiah certainly has no such character problems - the number of long-time friends and allies under his bus has grown so monumentally that he'll never need to lube the axles again.

I say it not because I think he feels indebted to anyone, but because I think there are a lot of people out there that think otherwise.

Obama's biggest challenge with the public will come when he makes a decision that he feels is right, but goes against what the public wanted. Will the public stick with him? Or will they be upset that Obama didn't follow their bidding?

Re: Dear President Obama

Dear Obama,

Please do something stupid soon so that the right-wing retards will stop referring to you using messianic adjectives. They need something to cling to.

They need something to cling to.

Hey, we still have our guns and religion!

Re: Dear President Obama

I'm not only clinging to my guns and religion, I'm also a bitter American. From a "flyover" state.

Dear Mr. President,

Just because GW Bush decided socialism is a good thing doesn't mean any other conservative does. (And for the record - McCain ain't a conservative, so he doesn't count.) Please don't start us down the same path Europe has been traveling. We were the nation that toppled Communism. We defeated Fascism. Are we about to find out if Alexander Tyler was right when he said

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.

I can't wait to see how much bail-out money is going to be promised by the winner of the next election in 4 years.

Re: Dear President Obama

Cleveland had 2 presidencies.

Freakin' owned.


Dear Mr Obama,

You and I both know that most of the crap you said during the election will never happen. Please try to accomplish the good things, and let the stupid, sensational stuff go. I wouldn't have voted for you, but I want you to be successful anyway, and help our country out of some of the crap we're in. You have one chance, make it count.

Yours,
Pancake.

Re: Dear President Obama

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for suspending the trials [of Guantanamo inmates] ...

Ironic remark, considering that holding them without trials is what got everyone so pissed in the first place.

Dear Mr. President:
Two things. First, get your priorities straight. Do you want to redistribute wealth or help the economy recover? You plan on "stimulating" the economy by infusing it with $800 billion or more. But if your goal is to help the economy, then why not just leave that money in our hands to begin with instead of taking it in taxes, funneling it through the bureaucracy, and haphazardly redistributing it to a hodge-podge of special interests? If you want to give $800 billion to the economy, suspend the income tax for 6 months. If you want to redistribute wealth to the entrenched special interests who got us here, then by all means, continue on your present course, economy be damned.

Second, don't let the hero worship go to your head. You are not a king. You are the humble servant of a Republic. Look to the examples of Washington and Jefferson. Power will corrupt you unless you fear it.

Respectfully,
Moosashi
