Dear President Obama,
I am a huge
supporter of yours and I think that you have accomplished a lot in your first
four years in office. I agree with almost all of the policies that you have put
into place and the ideas you have for America. There is a lot more that I would
like to learn though, about the specifics of your ideas. It is important that
information is credible though. I recently watched the documentary Inside
Job and learned some things that surprised me.
When
talking about your policies, the documentary says that in your campaign, you
were very confident about economic reform. “Obama Pointed to Wall street greed
and regulatory failures as examples of the need for change in America.” To me,
this was very correct, because you have done a lot for the economy sense you
have been in office. Next though, the film talked about what you did once you
were in office and it didn’t sound good or right. According to the film, many
of the people you appointed to office, had been very involved in the banks and
Wall Street during the crash. For example, you appointed Timothy Geithner as
treasury director. Geithner though, had been president of the New York Federal
Reserve during the crisis and a key player in the decision to pay Goldman Sax
100 cents on the dollar for bets against mortgages.
I trust the
film on the fact that you appointed him, but I don’t trust the film in that
they didn’t give a reason why you chose him. There must be a good reason behind
the appointing of anyone. I would be very interested to learn some of the
specific reasons behind why you appointed who you did. A decision may look bad
from the outside, but can actually be good for hidden reasons. I want to know
what those hidden reasons were.
Sincerely,
Eowyn Lucas
