Get ready to get sick. Read O'Keefe's resignation letter

:puke: � :puke: � :puke: � :puke: � :puke: �

Resignation Letter

The quote that did me in:

In the most challenging moments during my service I have drawn considerable strength, resolve and determination to do what's right by the standards you set every day - and that has often a been difficult standard to meet. But every day I have done my best.

Along the way you have also taught me the extraordinary importance of attending to family. Again, by your regular example with military families - and close to home - with the Columbia families, you and the first lady have set an extraordinary example. The commitment and sincerity of your effort is unmistakable. You have inspired me to always try to do the same.

Unbelievable!!

1. Resignation letters are almost always total BS

Overriding theme: Don't burn your bridges!

But this one may be very high on the BS pile.

Funny I am from a family of three. My parents, god bless thier souls sent myself and my two brothers through college on a normal under 100k per year family earning.

This gut has to leave his 150k-200k a year job in order to pay for his kids to go to college?

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Spare me the bullshit!!!!! I am so sick!

addressed Bush as My Dearest President. That brought back memories of
My Dear Fuehrer.This one has clearly outdone Harvey Pitt and is destined for the Hall of Fame of Sycophancy.

6. Definitely. It was the comment about "military families" that

really got to me. What has he done for the military families?

The arriving coffins cannot be shown.

The wounded are hounded for "over payment."

And we, the people, are told to "spend money." It makes me sick. :puke:
