We can no longer think on small scales. Like JFK said, look not what your country can do for you

Since this was written in November it maybe time for a little follow up? It seems to me we are bankrupting the country or at the very least passing the burden of payment on to the children. To put it another way, you could say the President and Congress are a bunch of financial pedophiles.

More debt, more troops...sounds a little like Bush to me.

Mr. Obama is actually not black; he's half-white. And, um, he's a globalist, so he could care less about the USA.

Prove I'm wrong!

Very well written letter. Yesterday I asked the question where the US Government gets the money from and the answer was a shock for me:
1. China
2. Japan
3. Russia
When I see this list then I ask myself where does this lead the western civilization to when we borrow money from these countries? What will happen if they say "pay back now"? Another scenario might be that the the chinese will save (buy) the big 3 in Detroit and they're no more US companies. I'm not living in the US but what happened to Iceland? Is this country becoming a russsian province?
So there are huge economic challenges for Mr. Hope.

Very interesting comments, though at times a little harsh as a congratulatory letter. The sentences I find particularly biting and might be removed without changing the spirit of your argument are the following "spy on your citizens and torture your enemies. You put your sons in harm's way under fabricated pretenses...Your greatest athletes are cheating and your high school students are emulating them."

Also, because Mr. Obama represents the hope of us all, as citizens of the world, I believe we all need to join in to help him achieve the hopes and dreams we put on his shoulders. We are our brothers' keeper and we are mutually responsible for putting the world back together again. But this time, when we put the world back together, it must look different. We must think collectively about what we do to the global economy, the global environment, global social structures, etc., etc. We can no longer think on small scales. Like JFK said, look not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Now, we have to ask, what can I do for the world.
