Letter: Can you do better?

I’m not familiar with day to day operations on Planet Vulcan. But,here in the good ol’ USA we got some problems.I
think sir,you are more upset about Chicago being black balled for the 2016 Olympics than alot of residents in Chicago. According
to a recent poll taken by the Chicago Tribune, of those polled 47% were against the Olympics coming to Chicago-
45% were for it with 8%  not caring either way.Traditionally, the Olympics are nothing more than bottomless money drains
on the local and state taxpayer’s.Calgary and Sydney are just 2 that come to mind recently. Usually the only one’s who really benefit
are those local officials and their associates who have inside contacts and info.Much was the concerns of South Side Chicago residents.
Particularly with Mayor Daley and friends such as Patrick Ryan and Valerie Jarret and others.Patrick a Chicago real estate invester and entrepreneur.Jarret a close family friend of the Obama’s and politically connected to the Chicago political machine and held several positions in that same machine.A strong proponet of the Olympics coming to Chicago.
Also she currently is Obama’s “senior advisor on intergovermental affairs and public arrangements.The CBS network has called her “the other side of Obama’s brain”?
I don’t believe Republicans are really all that mad about Obama’s Nobel Prize as much as they are,like most of the free thinking world,shocked and stunned. At least Woodrow Wilson founded the League of Nations,Teddy Roosevelt negotiated a peace treaty between Russia and Japan halting a war,and Jimmy Carter managed to broker a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.According to Swedish news outlets Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for quote” His efforts to strenghthen international diplomacy and his vision for a world without nuclear weapons” end quote.You really have to admit,that’s a stretch! His name had to be submitted for nomination before his 13th day in office!  So, he didn’t get the win for Chicago, at least the Swedes gave him the consolation Nobel prize.
  He has sold out our friends the Poles and Czechs, pertaining to the promised missle shield.The Russians didn’t like the shield being there.So he eliminated it, to please Russia.Hoping for help with Iran and stronger sanctions against Iran. Russia’s response"Putin says, further sanction’s against Iran would be counter productive” FOR WHO?.China also blew Obama off, China’s Trade Minister praised it’s growing energy and trade ties to Iran. Even our friends the Israelis aren’t real trusting of Obama. The NY times ran a poll taken by the Jerusalem Post in Israel 6% of those polled believed Obama to be Pro-Israel - 50% said he was Pro-Palestine.At least he’s consistent.His popularity has dropped 22 points at home.
  According to The Burea of Labor the unemplyment rate is 9.8% nationwide(10.4% in Alabama)But that only reflects the unemployed currently drawing their initial benefits.The true number of unemployed workers is closer to 14-16%.Including the 9.8 and the others who no longer draw benefits and are no longer seeking jobs for the lack of them.Good thing we got that stimulus bill signed in a hurry or the unemployment rate would have been over 9%.....ooops! Where are the jobs it was supposed to create?
To quote a real person: I’m not a member of a organized party,I’m a Democrat!  Will Rodgers

That is what is so laughable, many have done better but this do nothing president has done hardly anything.  Reagan reunited the East and west of Europe with one speech yet Obama gets it for good intentions?  This is all hog wash and everyone knows it.
