Dear Mr. President,
Listen, I hate to be the ongoing voice of negativity
constantly pointing out your flubs. But
I can't let this one get by without saying something.
Yesterday you spoke to CPAC – the most conservative, radical
edge of the Republican party. Even some
people in the Republican party have called it "fringe." Now, speaking to this group while on the campaign trail is totally appropriate. But the campaign is over now and you are the
President of the United States. And you
said yourself on election night,
"To all Republicans and
Democrats and Independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come
together as one united people. I pledge
to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and
this is so important to me."
So can you see how speaking to a group like CPAC now that
you are president could be seen as divisive?
It's totally fine when you are running
for office, but totally NOT fine now that you are in office, because now you are supposed to be the president for everyone. Get it?
The campaign is over. You are no
longer courting votes (you were there at the inauguration so I though you
knew).
So please, don't keep complaining about our fractured
society when it is you who continues to break off splinters! You could be building bridges and mending fences,
but you're not.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
