Questions about Barack Obama

My question is, why does the president need 30-plus czars? And why aren't background checks done on these people? Also, why did he cut off aid to Honduras? I thought we promoted democracy.

President Obama needs to be proud of America and our accomplishments, not apologizing to the world for us.

Democrats are rapidly killing this country

As a conservative who votes Republican most of the time, I had to reply to two letters published Sept. 17. I don't know whether the writers, Michael Mufson and William Hidalgo, are just ill-informed or are extremely partisan and see only that which agrees with their political persuasion.

Mufson complains Republicans care only for power! Well, duh! How about Democrats? Republicans ... have offered opinions that are routinely rejected by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and have decided to allow the Democrats to commit suicide, which they are rapidly doing, and kill the country along with them.

As to his comment about the powerful media supporting Republicans, that is total hogwash. NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS and much of CNN is in the tank for Obama, whatever he does, and Fox News is the only source for balanced reporting, and balanced interpreted as pro-Republican by these writers. ...

Mufson accuses Republicans of destroying the country, in spite of their minority status when the country is being destroyed by this president and his party. ...

Further, Obama was going to speak to the kids about how they can help him with his agenda. He changed (this) after the Republican objections.

Finally agrees

Well, I'm glad to know that there is something that President Barack Obama and I can finally agree on.

Kanye West is a jackass. No wonder this animal is the symbol of the Democrat Party.
