An Open Letter to My Congressional Representative Regarding President Obama’s Policies
Below is a letter I just posted on Congresswomen Nita Lowey’s website about recent Obama administration policies. This letter speaks to my serious concern about the direction he is pursuing as President.
Dear Representative Lowey:
As a loyal, lifetime Democratic and member of the Jewish faith, I am watching with alarm our President's actions/antics concerning Israel's recent election. Currently, a very solid majority of U.S. Jews vote for the Democratic Party.
Barack Obama's apparent intent to force Israel to accept both a nuclear Iran and indefensible borders cause me concern. It is entirely possible that Mr. Obama will seriously wound the Democratic Party by taking positions antithetical to U.S. as well as Israeli security.
I understand Mr. Obama's desire to be considered a good and just man, and a world citizen. His oath of office and job is undying loyalty the United States. I believe he is grievously falling down on this job.
Israeli policy is not the only area giving cause for alarm. His energy policies similarly show allegiance to either foreign interests or at best concerns of fringe groups. His determination to endlessly defer decision on the Keystone XL Pipeline appears aimed at pressuring a U.S. ally, Canada, on its environmental policies. It is not his place to be pressuring a fellow democracy on its policies, particularly when they involve a speculative concern on "climate change." U.S. interests are best served by having energy exports contribute to our balance of trade.
Further, his unilateral decision to cease enforcing U.S. immigration law causes concern as well. His duty is not to Third World children; it is to citizens of the U.S. and localities impacted by the unfunded mandate of educating children, many of whom arrive without parents.
In short, President Obama is pressing a "world" agenda at the expense of the country he has taken an oath of office to lead. This may persuade me, as well as other lifelong, loyal Democratic to "reassess" (to borrow Administration nomenclature on their intentions with regard to Israeli policy) their political home in the Democratic Party.
jbgusa, you need to listen to this deconstruction of the Netanyahu speech.
I realize you will encounter cognitive dissonance
while hearing it, but try to fight through that. we all go through learning curves.
Netanyahu's lies and atrocities are not good for the Jewish people.

Two hours of stuff, including the Kennedy assassination? What' the essential point you want to make?
Another faux patriot who puts Israel ahead of the USA. Your letter shows your true colors. Why not just move to Israel?
I've learned that when the left makes an accusation it is they who are guilty. Obama is more interested in Iran and the Iranian people than he is Americans.
