While you are certainly free to support anyone you choose, Mr. President, as the incumbent I fail to see how I have not vigorously opposed communism in China, or how I would fail to provide the type of leadership that you speak of. We were very succesful during my administration in rebuking the Chinese attempt to impose its will on Taiwan, and I am a strong opponent of free trade with China due to its human rights abuses.

So while I respect your endorsement, and I realize that you have worked closely with Mike and probably agree with him more overall on the issues, I don't see how I've failed to do any of the things that you say he would do.

Ok, my last post referred to your first speech in support of Naso.

Regarding your most recent speech, I have not missed a single vote in the Senate that I have been aware of (if you can point some out, that would be fine, but I'm not aware of any). Yes, sometimes I did not vote until the result was already known (due to real-life conflicts that prevented me being online for 2-3 days) but I still made sure always to vote, even if it would no longer affect the outcome, and several of these were for the losing side of the vote.

I also have proposed, and had signed into law by you, a major revamp of the way the federal government operates that will reduce bureaucracy and inefficiency and introduce competition that improves the overall working process of the federal government, while still of course protecting the rights of workers and first and foremost of all Atlasians to an efficient government that works for them. So I think most of your rhetoric about me being a big-government liberal is not quite accurate.

I think you are doing a fine job as President, but some of your assessments are a bit off.

You sat around when it came to China and just let them insult you and you lucked that The Vorlon gave you a bed roses answer.

Um, we didn't exactly "sit around", we did have a number of things that we did (the Senate was pretty much a zero in terms of doing anything about that first one, and it was the first ever GM scenario, so things were a little different, but still...).

My policy certainly had support from folks of many different political persuasions at the time.

Um, actually no, we didn't do nothing. Being a libertarian, that was the "right" answer in his view, but that's not actually what we did. Still, we ended up getting a good outcome (in spite of ourselves, in his opinion).

I'll try to dig up that thread here in a bit...

Well, as one President to another, NOTHING is predictable in this job, except some guys saying he can do it better than you.

You've got that right. Don't worry, I was very unpopular while I was in office too. Once you get out of office people will like you a lot better. :-)
