WARNING! This is an open letter from me to President Obama about the debit ceiling deal which I am not at all happy with. In it I am speaking to him not as citizen to a president but man to man. Although edited it contains grown man talk. So if you easily offended leave now.

Open letter to President Obama from George Cook AAreports.com
Pres. Obama: I know grandma said never to fight, but damn!

Mr. President I have the utmost respect for you and am proud that you are president. I will continue to support you through the 2012 elections.

But now Mr. President I will start speaking to Barack the man not the president.

I am not all happy with the debt ceiling deal. I know you said you were not happy with it. I know it will be spun some how to say that you won or at least saved face. I know we will hear that you didn't have much choice with a default hanging over your head.

Let's stop that bull**** right now. You got your ass kicked. The GOP / Tea Party pulled your pants down, bent you over, got a running start, and plowed the sh** out of you.

Now they had help. The congressional democrats unbuttoned your pants and brought an industrial size jar of Vaseline from Costcos and handed it to the Tea Party/ GOP.

But I'm sorry Barack I don't think that you have anyone else to blame for this deal but yourself. You didn't fight hard enough. I know your grandma probably told you never to fight and that fighting was wrong. But I'll bet $1,000 she never told you it was okay to take an ass whipping.

In the words of Don Johnson's Miami Vice character Sonny Crockett, " You gotta kick a little ass to be a peace maker." ( I'm sure there is a more dignified source for that quote but watching Miami Vice was the first time I heard it. )

People and some supporters are starting to doubt your toughness and your willingness to fight. I had to go upstairs to my wife Sunday Night after your speech and listen to her say, " .....this is why I voted for Hillary in the democratic primary."

I offered an intellectual and witty response which went a little something like this, " Fu** you and Hillary!"

No my wife and I have been together for 18 years so we play like that. I'm sure that you and Michelle do the same..........You know what let's just skip that.

I am hoping that you fight like hell in the next few months to get a more balanced deal that ask the rich to sacrifice also. I believe that you can. I believed that in 2008 and I still believe it now. But I am sure many others no longer believe.

Barack, give us something to believe in again. I will fight with you but dammit show me that you are the leader to lead us in this fight.
