Mr. President ...

“Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. So whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners of it. Our problems must be dealt with through partnership; progress must be shared.” President Barack Obama

Mr. President,

The above remarks were made by you on this date, June 4, 2009, in Cairo, Egypt. Please, Mr. President, would you clarify what you meant by this part of your speech?

Do you mean the United States of America is no better than North Korea? Do you mean the USA is on the same playing field as Iran? Do you mean the people of the United States should not consider their nation far superior to the nation of Saudi Arabia or China or Afghanistan?

Mr. President, I hope this is not what you mean. You know very good and well United States citizens would never consider surrendering their US citizenship to become citizens of other nations such as North Korea. Why? Because the United States IS a superior nation to North Korea.

Mr. President, it is the United States which has come to the aid of many, many nations throughout its 200 year history BECAUSE it is a great nation. It is the United States which has fought for freedom throughout the world during its short history. How many battles have we engaged in order to protect other nations? How much foreign aid have we sent in order to provide for other nations? And now you tell us we should not consider ourselves a superior nation, especially when compared with the likes of Iran? Mr. President, is this what you meant by your words?

Sir, I know you are in favor of redistributing our wealth but now it sounds as though you are in favor of redistributing our nation's greatness. Is this truly what you meant?

Mr. President, if this was what you intended to communicate to the world, then you have proven yourself unworthy to lead our great nation. With all due respect, how DARE you betray the very country you lead.

Sincerely,
Bruce D. Walker
St. Charles, MO
