Open Letter
Mr. President, you promised us
change, and it’s time to deliver.
So far you’ve stayed with Bush
in the Iraq, Afghanistan, and
Wall Street wars, surrendered
the high ground on healthcare,
detainees, and economic stimulus.
Your other campaign pledges
haven’t faired so well.
We knew you had your heart set
on bipartisanship and building
consensus, but we didn’t realize
you would pursue that aspiration
like a knight seeking the Holy Grail.
That’s passé. Tackle a real challenge.
Try to make deals with Democrats.
