			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.<br />
Benjamin Franklin</p>
<p>&#8220;TEACHER SLAMS OBAMA&#8221;        <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><em>Author unknown</em></span></p>
<p>April 17, 2009 The White House</p>
<p>1600 Pennsylvania Avenue</p>
<p>NW Washington , DC 20500</p>
<p>Mr Obama:</p>
<p>I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally. You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America .</p>
<p>You are responsible to the citizens of the United States . You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth. I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?</p>
<p>Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ?</p>
<p>This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this? Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don’t show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you!</p>
<p>You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey .. You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you? I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.</p>
<p>You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr Dodd, Mr Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.</p>
<p>What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members – on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn’t!</p>
<p>Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that&#8217;s $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million – not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now. I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do.</p>
<p>We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Every real American</p>
<p>P. S. I rarely ask that emails be &#8216;passed around&#8217;&#8230;PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR EMAIL LIST&#8230;it&#8217;s past time for all Americans to wakeup!</p>

<p>Really not much to say about it. Or is there?</p>
<p>A sleepy town by some standards. Still a bit of &#8220;Old Hawai&#8221;. It seems like a  place where the elephants go to die a visiting friend once stated. The mill was  still running. The fires in the fields still coated the town with bits of  floating ash. There was mud on the roads from the trucks running 24 hours a day  off the muddy hills, hauling the harvested cane off to become the sugar in my  coffee.</p>
<p>Things have changed. Yet not that fast. I thought I spotted a white elephant  ambling though town last night after a few Coronas at Aunties Place.</p></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8216;Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Man&#8217;s timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">For the Woman that God gave him isn&#8217;t his to give away;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">But when hunter meets with husband, each confirms the other&#8217;s tale —</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">The female of the species is more deadly than the male.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Man, a bear in most relations — worm and savage otherwise —</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Mirth obscene diverts his anger—Doubt and Pity oft perplex</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Him in dealing with an issue—to the scandal of The Sex!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">May not deal in doubt or pity—must not swerve for fact or jest.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">These be purely male diversions—not in these her honour dwells.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unclaimed to claim</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">She is wedded to convictions—in default of grosser ties;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies!—</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">And the victim writhes in anguish—like the Jesuit with the squaw!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">To some God of Abstract Justice—which no woman understands.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Must command but may not govern—shall enthrall but not enslave him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ff;">And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: #0000ff;">That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.</span></p>
