You aren't trying very hard

Dear George:

While it would be preferred that you simply leave office, in the alternative, please put the following on your To Do List:

• 1. Do not pardon Mr. Libby.
• 2. Fire Karl Rove.
• 3. Set a reasonable timeline for our withdrawal from Iraq.
• 4. Capature Osama Bin Laden. Ask the Bin Ladens. You know them well.
• 5. Quit saying “freedom.” You don’t the first thing about it.
• 6. Reconcile the divergent stated reasons why you nominated Ms. Miers and Mr. Alito to the Court.
• 7. Fire Rumsfeld and Cheney. They like to torture people. Rumsfeld even went as far as to write it down with (paraphrasing) “why are these people made to stand only 4 fours at a time? I stand at my standing desk 10 hours a day,” etc.
• 8. Fire Gonzales. He thinks it is somehow rational to question the definitions of torture vis a vis the Geneva Convention.
• 9. Figure out your poll numbers are as low as Nixon’s during Watergate and rectify.
• 10. Learn how orate. It is essential to the job of Leader of the Free World. You cannot do it well, or even passably.
• 11. Think for yourself as our leader; don’t delegate so much. We didn’t vote in a committee to lead.
• 12. Go to at least one funeral for a fallen soldier in Iraq.
• 13. Just... try to do better. I get the sense you aren’t trying very hard.
