RE: A little early for anti-Obama cartoons

This is another letter that I recently had published, this one in the Daily Gazette.  The opinion piece that I am referring to can be found on their website, http://www.dailygazette.com to see what Ms. Baker's opinion was and you can see below for my response to her article...

Subject: Opinion submission RE: A little early for anti-Obama cartoons

Regarding Mary Baker's 12/1 opinion that it is a little early for anti-Obama cartoons, I ask her this question:  Isn't it a little early for Mr. Obama to try to run this country?  After all, you state that Obama has not even got into office yet.  That is true.  In fact, he will not take office for another month and a half (January 20th). 

 

Believe it or not, people will find fault with Obama's policies.  He didn't get 100% of the vote, so there's some people out there that do disagree with him.  Barack Obama promises "change" to help get this country back on track.  Some of us don't want to be part of his plan, whether we want to or not. 

 

I ask this question, except for the attacks on 9/11, what was the problem in the country under the Bush administration when the Republicans controlled Congress?  The major problems that we are facing as a country right now have been under a fully Democrat-controlled Congress. 

 

If we need to wait for him to get into office before we "start picking on the guy," then why doesn't he just lay back for the next month and a half and allow the country to run as it should...under the final days of the Bush administration?
