I haven’t written in some time because I figured that reading a note while dodging so many bullets would be difficult at best and wouldn’t lend itself to heeding any sage advice.  But, I think someone needs to say this to you.  You have fucked it all up!  Stop trying to fix an unfixable mess!  Instead, just enjoy what time you have left of the cool digs, good cooking and fancy transportation.  Obamacare is an Edsel, (though it will not pop up in fifty years as a pricy collectable), and your mismanagement of it has diminished your capacity to govern on any level.  The good ole boy, white establishment, political machine that swore a public oath to take you down from day one of your presidency has won.  I believe you meant well, but your weak-kneed back-pedaling is renewing the confidence of the heinous conservative caucus who will use your failings to hurtle us all back into the Stone Age.  Use the next three years to speak the truth from your heart.  Let those of us who believe in being responsible for one another, (globally), and to the preservation of our planet hear a loud clear voice, void of any political agenda, so that we can feel the pride in being part of what America should stand for.

This breaks my heart.

Your friend,
