A Letter to Obama About the Paul Broun Hitler Comment

Dear Barack Obama,

I understand from my main news source, "The Daily Show," that Republican Congressman Paul Broun recently said that you might be Hitler. I know this may sound disturbing, but don't worry about it. First of all, it's not like this is the first time you've been called Hitler.

And besides, you're in good company. I got called Hitler last year, and I've managed to bounce back just fine. The move to the west coast was totally my own idea, I swear.

Shabbat shalom and Barack on (I'm sure you never get that, LOL!!!!!!).

TTYL, POTUS-2B!!

P.S.: Good luck with that whole President thing, and thanks for not naming me to your cabinet. Frankly, I get enough criticism from Idol Chatter readers, apparently.

P.P.S.: If you'd like to check out a piece of you-as-potential-Hitler comedy (and who wouldn't?) check out the Daily Show's website for the clip featuring Jon Stewart and John Oliver discussing the similiarities between you and the deceased despot. Just caught it on the West Coast feed, so I'm sure it will be up starting tomorrow. Among the gems? "Who would be the opposite of Hitler?" "Bizarro Hitler, a man with no army who spent all day hugging Jews."

Hi there Esther.

My man the sometime Air America radio personality and also MSNBC contributor Sam Seder has a saying.

"He who mentions Hitler first has lost the argument".

Paul Broun should be very ashambed of himself for his comments at a recent town hall meeting, calling Pres. O'Bama a "rotten fish", and comparing him to Hitler. Paul Broun should be booted out of congress, as he certainly is not a good representative. He is "the fox in the henhouse".
