Hey, Mr. President! What did Canada ever do to you?
.
.
.

Dear President Obama, Like most Canadians I rooted for you madly and cried when you were elected President-of-The-World. So far, I think you've been a great leader, reaching out to the whole planet.

/snip/

Hello? Fact check - or as CNN always says, "time to keep'em honest." Sorry Mr. President, but none of the 9/11 terrorists came across the Canadian border. You let them all in yourselves with your lax security - so if anything we should be toughening our border against you.

/snip/

Sorry, Mr. President, I understand America's frustration. Eight years after Sept. 11, you still can't find Osama, you're fleeing Iraq and your banks are broke. But why take it out on Canada?

/snip/

Just last Tuesday, Jon Stewart said the only reason Canada can afford medicare is that "Canadians don't get sick, because they eat trees, In fact the closest living relative to the Canadian is the beaver." "Oh," tittered Stewart's guest." Won't that offend your Canadian viewers?

"No," Stewart retorted, "Canadians don't watch TV. They just got this new thing called radio and they sit up all night listening to the Lone Ranger."

Much more at LINK

It's a good read

enjoy!

1. Umm, iirc, this wasn't Obama's fault, so this letter needs some help, or at
the very least a re-write...

You let them all in yourselves with your lax security

2. Jon Stewart was unnecessarily cruel.

Canadians generally prefer Little Orphan Annie over The Lone Ranger.

At least he didn't suggest that Canadian lumberjack's tend to be cross-dressers.
