Dear Mr. President

I am as serious a Democrat as you are likely to find. I am Treasurer of my county Democratic Party. I have run for state office more than once in hopelessly Republican districts. My entire family knocked on doors to help get you elected.

I have never before written to a President but am writing to you now because I am afraid that you are letting everything we achieved run down the sewer of Republican opposition. I did not vote for you so you could be nice to bankers and insurance companies. I did not vote for you to achieve bipartisanship with selfish, ignorant, bigoted Republicans. I voted for you to lead us out of an unbelievable mess, and you are failing.

I cried the night of the election for two reasons. One because I was overjoyed, secondly because I was afraid that it would be all downhill from there. It’s time for you to take off the gloves and prove me wrong.

As Digby just pointed out, the Republicans always need to create something (or someone) for their dense minions to hate. Unfortunately, you have become it, and you have to change the dialog.
