Mr. President

Mr. President,

I remember the day when my president betrayed me. I remember my jaw dropping. I remember my heart sinking. I remember my trust being violated. That day when you said we were no longer interested in bin Ladin. I remember the day when the my president betrayed my nation.

You said, standing on the rubble of ground zero, that you would find him, Mr. President. And then you said you didn't care. You said, standing on the ground where 3,000 died, that you would kill him, Mr. President. And then you said you weren't concerned with him.

We trusted you. We believed in you. When you went to the site just days afterwards and you stood with the firemen and the police on that burning ground, you said you would stop at nothing. And then you stopped. Why?

Yes, Mr. President. Your betrayal is no exaggeration. Your betrayal is nothing to snicker and smirk at. You betrayed our trust. The trust that we placed in you to lead this nation to find and kill bin Ladin.

Why couldn't you find him? Why didn't you kill him? Why did you just let him go?

Did you have to betray our trust? Did you have to divide the nation? We believed in you. You told us you would lead. And then you said you didn't care. You betrayed us.
