  As I'm watching Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton travel through the Middle East, I notice how careful they are not to offend. Mrs. Clinton even has her head wrapped. Why is it that this administration believes that we should respect others by honoring thier values and traditions when visiting thier countries but they do not believe that when foreign people come to our country, they should honor and respect our values and traditions? This seems like a hypocrisy to me. We are the land of the free but it sure feels like I'm having to bend my ways to suit others. They shouldn't be allowed to come here and change us. If they liked what they had it seems to me that they would've stayed there. I don't mind Muslims or people of others faiths and they should be able to practice thier traditions AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO OURS.

  Mr. Obama:

  Since you have taken office, I have witnessed you and members of your administration teasing and mocking americans who had different ideas of what you as our government should be doing. As our president, isn't it your job to not just hear, but to LISTEN to every citizen, even when they don't agree with you? Is it the policy of your administration that when a citizen does not agree with or doesn't like your ideology that they become someone who isn't worthy of yours or your staff's time? Someone undeserving of respect or common courtesy?

  FRIVOLOUS USE OF TAXPAYER MONEY

  Dear Mr. Obama:

  As a tax paying american, and one who has not ever used the social systems in any way, I respectfully request that you and your administration stop the mis-use of taxpayer money on such things as Airforce 1 photo shoots, dates with your wife, useless letters, etc. All these things cost us, not you. You and your administration do not have free use of our money. Anyone who down flags this one is out of there minds. Everyone should feel this way. Stop spending our money unless you plan on REALLY creating a job with it or in some other way benefiting an american citizen other than yourself or some other government agent.

  Has the government ever considered the idea of cutting back instead of spending every budgeted dime? It wouldn't hurt you know. It's called a savings account. Why hasn't the government taken excess funds and put it away instead of creating some ridiculous thing to spend it on so they can get the same amount next year. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Look out for us?

  A NEW IDEA FOR HEALTHCARE REFORM

  Why don't we stop frivolous lawsuits? That's the biggest reason we have such high insurance costs all around. The government doesn't want to do this because they're all attorney's themselves. People should not be awarded $2,000,000 for spilling hot coffee in their laps. We don't need socialized medicine. We need our insurance costs to decrease. It is my understanding that in some states, the premium for an OB/GYN is upwards of $100,000 a year. Why? Because of all these attorneys we see manipulating people into big money suits. Control the dishonest attorneys and you control insurance costs.

  Mr. President:

  It used to be that when your product was low quality, over priced and no longer in demand, or if a company simply mismanaged and couldn't pay its bills, that it meant OUT OF BUSINESS.

  In addition to allowing the american citizens access to your birth and education documents, which I'm certain you are planning on doing especially since you've promised transparency, please stop bestowing our money upon the very rich who've mishandled thier companies or have allowed the unions to rape them. We should stop the welfare system in this country altogether but we most certainly did not have, at least to my knowledge, a welfare system for rich thieves including our corrupt and dishonest government of which you are a part. We also should not allow our gaggle of crooks whom we call representatives, Republican and Democrat alike access to pounds of the peoples money for ideas and projects that can be done at a later date when those of us out here who work are having such a hard time right now. So when you start listening to us, I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind giving me and my countrymen back the money that you've gifted upon others who didn't deserve it. Thank you very much.
