So, So Disappointed

Dear Mr. President,

Today is a sad day in our wonderful nation's history. I learned that you signed legislation to legally allow torture to prison detainees. Learning this made me very sad. Just because you make something legal, does not make it right. I don't feel that torture is a value that we should strive for in our wonderful country. Sure, I understand that those who wish to harm us do exist. But must we abandon our principles and ability to behave as a civilized society for this? I refuse to believe that you (and your supporters of this bill) are living out the Christian principles that you so often boast and throw in the faces of your countrymen. I also don't believe the man you call your savior, Jesus, would have signed this bill. You continue to be a hypocrite in my eyes with your poorly thought out policies and uncivilized behavior.

PS - Great leaders do not blame their predecesors for their disposition. Great leaders admit their mistakes and take corrective action. You have failed at both of these during your terms in office.
