Help! I would like to reply to this letter to the editor

in the KC Star today. Seems like we have at least one of these letters every day. They are horrible and I can't see that they are backed up by any facts at all.

1. Poverty is worse than at any time in the last 50 years.

2. Federal debt has grown.

3. Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing.

4. Obama is responsible for Fast & furious, Benghazi, IRS, NSA & VA scandals.

5. Lousy foreign policy - leading from behind. Has caused all the problems in Syria, Israel, Gaza - and everywhere else in the world. And China and areg gaining momentum in world power.

6. Obama has ignored the constitution repeatedly.

7. Obama has pitted everybody against everybody.

Oh, yea. And the Left (whoever the hell that is) caused all the mentally ill to be set loose on the streets. And they all own guns and are killing everyone.

Ronald Reagan’s shameful legacy: Violence, the homeless, mental illness

Not that trying to counter these loons will change anything.

For the rest, just ask that if there are going to write these accusations that they should use some facts.

It's just that I am so tired of seeing these letters.

It does seem true that everyone is pitted against everyone else but I don't think Obama had much to do with that. Maybe if he wasn't just so good at everything it would help.
