Dear Mr. President:We cats are concerned, but not because of health care or Afghanistan or the economy. At least, not for the moment.
We're worried that you and your team have underestimated something.
The hate.
You were sworn in a mere seven months ago, but we've already had to hear that you're a Marxist and a socialist and a Communist (all at once, mind you), that you were born in Kenya and therefore ineligible to be President, that you're building forced detention camps for people who politically disagree with you, that you hate white people and white culture (whatever that is), and now, that you're trying to indoctrinate our children.
This stuff is all incredibly stupid, and whenever it gets publicized we cats hold out hope that its very exposure will help sane Americans see it for what it is. But there's a double edge to that sword. One, we fear for your personal safety, of course. And two, we're kind of annoyed that the White House always seems surprised by the vitriol.
How can that be? Did you not live through the Clinton years? One of the principals of that Administration, who was a primary target of the right wing, is now your Secretary of State. A key member of the Clinton White House team is your Chief of Staff. After all the slings and arrows that Bill and Hillary suffered, why doesn't the Obama team ever appear to expect this kind of nutty behavior?
On ABC News tonight, Jake Tapper declared that the White House was "caught flat-footed" by the fake school-speech controversy. Mr. President, we cats are tired of hearing the talking heads saying things like that.
The wingnuts have no weapons left in their scummy arsenals, so they're doing the only thing they know how: Try to delegitimize your Presidency by chipping away at you with these ridiculous arguments and objections.
We know that on Election Night, you made an attempt to be gracious to these people. You said, "I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your President, too."
We cats think it's time for a bitch-slap.
Sincerely,
Sniffles, Baxter and Zamboni
