RE: Presidential Slogans

Sir:

I have not been paying attention to the President's campaign speeches, as my requests to be named 'Railroad Czar' by the President in the second term went unacknowledged, as did my requests that the Federal government formally apologize for the passage of the Interstate Highway Act, all post-WWII aviation subsidies, and for otherwise failing to fully fund Amtrak.

Nonetheless, I have observed snippets of the President's speeches on cable television. One newly-introduced phrase has brought itself to my notice, but in an unfavorable way. I saw, while otherwise ogling CNN's Rudi Bakhtiar, the President make a speech in which he twice claimed re: Senator Kerry that, "He can run, but he can't hide."

This was done twice by the President in short succession, and I can only say this: Every time the President does this, somewhere a kitten dies. Baby Jesus cries when this phrase is invoked. Needless to say, there's been a river flowing.

Please advise the President to discontinue the use of this trite and annoying phrase post-haste, or else the great tide of victory that Republicans are hoping for will be dashed upon the rocks of smarmy phraseology and bad slogans.

Sincerely,
The Country Pundit

P.S. Where's my mansion on the Main Line, you bum?
