LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Barack Obama needs to quit complaining

What kind of crybaby have we got running for president of the United States?

I’m talking about Barack Hussein Obama. If I read your article correctly, you printed that Obama had the audacity to ask the U.S. Justice Department to intervene on his behalf because someone was publishing, or broadcasting, whatever, things on him (Obama) that he didn’t like, or that he thought were untrue.

I believe the article stated that Obama wanted the Justice Department to shut down the stations that continued to air what he thought was derogatory to his campaign.

When I was a little boy, we would call a person of this caliber a WIMP. (never knew what it meant, for the word is not even in the dictionary), but it was someone who was always whining about somebody picking on them.

We are talking about someone asking the U.S. citizens to make him commander in chief of our armed forces, but according to your article, Obama is such a crybaby he can’t even take derogatory comments and statements without crying fowl and seeking legal help from the U.S. Justice Department. Isn’t that pitiful?

Our armed forces deserve better than Mr. Obama.

I am a retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant, and I’ve served under what the services considered good and bad presidents.

The military are the first ones to know if the president is weak or strong. This man does not appear to qualify for the commander in chief roll.

I believe all our service personnel would suffer under such weak leadership.

But I’ve got some advice for Mr. Obama:

If you can’t stand the heat, why don’t you stay out of the fire?
