Dear Cindy,

Heard you on the television chastising Obama about his war funding vote. John also voted against funding the war (and body armor and veterans' healthcare), but that's neither here nor there. You suggested Obama spend a day in your shoes. I've decided to volunteer for that mission since Barack is too busy dodging mud from your campaign. It goes without saying, the day will include use of your credit card, personal jet and Lexus. Please have your people call my people . . . okay, my answering machine . . . and tell me when to expect the limo for the ride to the airport. My agenda will include a stop at the bank to pay off the mortgage. I can't make sense out of John's proposal re the mortgage crisis, so I figure paying it off with your card will make life easier for everyone involved and, heck, it's nowhere near the cost of your convention outfit anyway. On the way to the airport, I might drop off generous contributions at the homeless shelter and food bank - kind of compensation for the nightmare you Republicans have caused us all. The jet should gear up for a flight to the Mayo Clinic. Unlike many, who would spend a day in your shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue, I'd like a checkup with the guarantee any follow-up work can go on your American Express. Considering the number of years I've been uninsured, the bill could be substantial, but I'm sure you'll understand. There's a place in heaven for good folks like you. (Wink, wink.) If there's time to spare, it would be fun to spend a few hours at one of your mansions. Kind of a look at how the other 1% lives. Waiting to hear from you, Vinca

Oh, & K&R.
