A rebuttal: Wake up and smell the coffee, Albright! You describe Palin's bestseller as a hack job of blaming others while the very essence of your letter is a combination of blaming and ridiculing other sincere Americans, even comparing them to the Klan. Shame on you!
It's time for non-party effort. Time to work together! The Obama administration (with Congress) is now totally in charge of an agenda of continuous failure. The president, a quick study, should readily conclude that a charismatic personality is insufficient to heal America's present disease of wild spending, fiscal irresponsibility and growing government -- all in leaps and bounds. Where are the adults? Where are the solutions? Where are the ideas with real substance? Something all the people, including patriotic Tea Party Americans, can readily identify, understand and accept. Not some pie-in-the-sky misconception of a change-or-be-damned America. Obama's oratory skill alone can't pull it off. It will take real fiscal responsibility and a re-application of formerly applied economic remedies that actually work. First order of presidential business: Do no harm! Second order: Place your trust in the people -- not self-serving politicians. Let's get this ship under way before we all sink!
