Dear George,
Congratulations! You've completed your first 100 days in the White House, and I must say, for such a short time you sure have been a productive president.in only 100 short days you've somehow managed to bend both Mother Earth and all her inhabitants over a barrel for your dear friend, Corporate America. Now, the ever loveless, but good paying "John", with erect drill in hand, stands ready to probe and plunder the fertile offerings of your hostages.
Great work George. Keep on pimping away the world's natural resources and it won't be long before your good paying customer's environmental sodomy has infected World Health with more irreparable damage than that caused by Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez combined.
But hey, who's counting the ill-effects of big business and industry on the environment, as long as it's been good for Corporate America's bottom line, ah, I mean the economy, right? Who gives a damn about an overheated earth caused by greenhouse gases, and the resulting global flooding caused by melting glaciers, or the destructive contamination of an oil spill in our country's pristine nature preserves, or the poisonous heavy metals in our drinking water, or our country's growing pollution induced Asthma epidemic!?
None of that will matter because, even as we're all coughing up our cancer filled lungs, we'll still be able to smile inside knowing that the values of our energy stock portfolios have gone up, and that we can drive away from the pumps, in our gas guzzling SUV's, a few dollars richer, right?
Is America really supposed to believe that it's health is in good hands under the Bush Administration's EPA? I believe you answered that question very clearly with your appointment of that little puppy dog, Christie Whitman, to the position of EPA Administrator. It's always so heart warming to watch her on the news, as she follows you around, wagging her giddy little tail, and yelping when anyone has harsh words for your environmental policy. Just knowing she's in charge of the EPA makes me feel healthier already! Great work George, you've really made America proud!
Speaking of pride, the Bush kin must be tickled pink about you carrying on the legacy of your father's empty campaign promises. Considering the insight this strategy has provided about the principles which you and Senior value, I just have to ask, is dishonesty one of the good old American family values that you both would have expected Barbara and Laura to teach in their classrooms?
Regardless, in honor of the hollow campaign promise motto made famous by your father, I've come up with a great 2004 re-election campaign slogan for you, that's sure to make him proud:
"Read my lips: No NEW Green House Emissions!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Fooled them again!", you'll both laugh as you sit around the Oval Office together, sipping on Brandy (or maybe even snorting a line), and reminiscing over your clever like-father-like-son politicking.
Ha! Not so fast! If past performance is any indicator, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
Speaking of holding ones breath, at least when your predecessor was in office the only person who had to do that was Monica Lewinsky. Now, thanks to you George, over the next four years we'll all be gasping for air, not to mention having to suffer through the choking sensation caused by our president cramming something disgusting down our throats!
Talk about producing a repugnant stain on fabric. Your loveless environmental policy is a stain on the fabric of American society which, unlike the one on Monica's dress, cannot simply be washed out. But hey, I guess I shouldn't complain. At least you were considerate enough to lubricate the American people first with your "generous" tax cut, which by the way, I promise to try real hard not to spend all in one place...
"Enough you damned Democrat!!!", you must be screaming.
Well George, surprise! I'm not a Democrat. I'm just a citizen of the United States of America. I support and vote for the candidate who appears to care the most about the important things, and who appears to be the most capable of successfully running the country, regardless of their party affiliation. Unfortunately, this last election did not include that candidate, and I, like so many other Americans, simply had to vote for the lesser of two idiots. This time, unfortunately, the wrong idiot got the right number of votes.
Since taking office, you have been busy blatantly repaying your corporate patrons, at the obvious expense of human and environmental health, all the while leaving no doubt to whom your loyalty belongs, or where your character lies.
How ironic. If a citizen threatens the health of the president, the punishment is time in prison, but if a president threatens the health of citizens, the punishment is only the possibility of not being re-elected.
You are a complete embarrassment to the Office of the President, and to this great country, and I am proud of the fact that I did not vote for you. I know I'm not alone when I say that I would much rather have a president who f*s White House interns, than one who f*s the environment.
