Notwithstanding, within the first year of his historic presidency he stands to become one of the biggest disappointments in history by betraying is own ideals, simultaneously crushing the hopes and dreams of untold millions.

In recent days some of his most ardent supporters have began expressing serious concern and dismay of what they perceive as outright betrayal. And with the  Thanksgiving Day revelation that Obama plans to escalate the Afghan war and occupation, Michael Moore penned the following letter:

Dear President Obama,

Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you. With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics. You will teach them what they've always heard is true -- that all politicians are alike. I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.
