Barack, may I call you Barack? You know the kid at school that none of the popular kids like? The one who the adults know will really make it, but just can't seem to cut it with his peers? The one that brings special holiday treats for everyone in the class, not just the one whose name he drew? The one that brings leftover pizza for lunch and looks forward to eating it all day, only to give it to the popular kid when he asks for it, just so he can be liked? That kid. You are that kid.
Please, for the love of Pete, stop trying so hard. They cannot stand you, they will never like you. You will never be "in". Acknowledge and move on. Stop giving interviews to ass hats like Bill O'Reilly, stop trying to be so diplomatic, when a journalist (and I use that term loosely)asks you why people hate you, don't laugh, demand respect. When he interrupts you 48 times, tell him to shut his mouth, you are the President of the US and deserve respect. Tell him what you really think about Fox News, you don't respect their narrative, why do you feel you need to placate them?
When political cartoonists and wingnuts draw your family as monkeys or Michelle as a fat slob(which she certainly is not), be offended, I am. No one treated Laura Bush that way, you deserve better, say so! You are smarter than them, you are better than them, you have a great family, are a great dad and husband, now be a great President. You are a role model for millions of kids who were not born with a silver spoon in their mouths, who don't vacation in the Hamptons, whose parents both work like dogs and maybe they have to work a little harder for everything they have.
Now you are siding with people who do not seem to care about the very people who hold you in such high regard. The people who voted for you because you promised to make a difference. To change the rules and stop the madness, and now you are becoming part of it.
You are trying too hard to compromise, for Heaven's sake, you are the President. Remember all the things Bush did that were terrible for the country and he did them because he was the "decider". He made up reasons for war and came out smelling like a rose. You walked straight in to the absolute cluster bleep he created and now you are apologizing for it.
Grab them up and be the progressive President that people voted for. I know you will never read this, but I feel better. Thanks.
