Dear Mr. President \u2026 I heard your remarks — along with those of the first lady — at the White House condemning the attacks on “former high government officials.”<\/p>\n

You left out any mention of the bomb that was sent to CNN’s New York offices. Yes, all the intended targets have been critics of yours or have been the object of your own scorn. CNN is one of them. Maybe you can say something later today or tomorrow \u2026 or the next day.<\/p>\n

Here’s my current request, Mr. President: I hear you’re headed for a campaign rally in Wisconsin later. You’ll be standing behind that podium in front of a raucous crowd of supporters. Will you, sir, be mindful of what has transpired today and tone down the rhetoric?<\/p>\n

You need to be acutely aware of what has happened to the public mood out here. A lot of Americans are angry with you \u2026 many other Americans are angry with your critics. Count me as one who’s angry with the tone you have been setting, as well as your presidency in general.<\/p>\n

Many millions of us, Mr. President, will be listening intently to what you say and listening as well to how you say it.<\/em><\/p>\n

You’re the president, the only one we have. All eyes are on you, which I suspect is precisely what you like most about being in the office you occupy. Therefore, it is imperative that you speak to your supporters using language that is far less inflammatory than what you’ve been using during your entire presidency.<\/p>\n

I truly believe, sir, we are reaping one of the dire consequences of what you and your bloc of base voters have sown.<\/p>\n

Tone it down, Mr. President.<\/p>\n\n
