October 21, 2009

I received a request to denounce Mr. Beck and his show from Care2, sorry care2, Mr. Obama and your supporters, but Mr. Beck might be right.
I appreciate your devotion to Mr. Obama, but I do not appreciate emails, polls and smear tactics such as these or Mr. Obama's during his speeches. Mr. Beck and those who choose to speak out against Government affairs have the right to do so. And where was care2 when
Mr. Beck and others spoke out against Mr. Bush and Government ?

Mr. Beck brings attention to the issues that will change our America, yes he does get a little carried away, but he does speak the truth. Change is good, when it benefits us all. But change too fast and it will benefit only the wealthy.

President Obama is just that, President, and he needs to start leading. Instead of his campaigning , the election is over. He needs to quit insulting us Americans, and start getting Americans back to work. He needs to stop blaming, and roll up his sleeves and make that difference he promised. He also needs to walk into Congress and the House and get it cleaned up. He needs to unite rather than continue to divide.

As for Fox News and Mr. Beck, I will continue to watch and listen, it is so much better than watching and listening to the Puppets on the other stations. If Mr. Obama, Congress, the House, the Democrats, don't like what Fox says, then prove them wrong. If you don't like the Tea Parties,
their objections, their concerns, then prove them wrong. If you don't like the objections at the town hall meetings, if you don't like our phone calls, letters and emails, objecting to your proposals, your changes, your actions, that effect our lives, then prove us wrong. And as I recall, Mr. Beck
has asked several nights in a row, for the Whitehouse to please call him on the show for a discussion concerning issues and his opinions, but he has yet received a call. But Mr. Obama can go on the Letterman
Show ! Maybe Mr. Becks extremist rhetoric holds some truth after all and instead of taking it lightly, we all need to take it seriously.

I am still waiting for transparency, smaller government, truth and honesty, but it would be wise for me NOT to hold my breath. So far we have gotten deeper into debt, NO relief for the PEOPLE who deserve HELP. We have a Congress,House and Whitehouse full of crooks, liars and cheats.

So, Mr. President, and all branches of Government, prove me wrong, prove Mr. Beck wrong. Prove us all wrong. Not one Government official listens to "we the People ", oh but you claim to work for us, while you are campaigning, but after elected you all show your true colors, and they are not pretty. So, Mr. Beck, Fox News, keep up the great job, and Thanks for telling it like it is.

Elyria , OH
