Editorial: Some blunt advice, Mr. President, for today’s visit to Boston
Welcome to Massachusetts, Mr. President.
On the off chance you pick up a Herald today, we’d like to offer you some advice.
First, don’t run for re-election. We’re getting right to the point, but someone needs to. The Democrats didn’t want Hillary Clinton again and Liz Warren is annoying, so the DC elite set you up for an Oval Office reservation. It’s time to check out.
Secondly, and most importantly, if you insist on running, please drop Vice President Kamala Harris. If you could do that now, we’d all appreciate it. Thanks for reading this far, so we’ll keep going.
John Kerry continues to insult every American who works hard to put food on the table. It’s baffling as to why you put up with this smug, globetrotting polluter who’s vain enough to believe others don’t see right through his “do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do” persona. Please fire him.
Full disclosure: we’re a little sore here because Kerry has informed the Herald the Freedom of Information Act does not apply to him. Clearly, he was another failed presidential candidate, so you tossed him a bone to let him hopscotch across the planet trying to dictate what others should all do. We’d like to see what his carbon footprint is lately.
But back to the advice. Ironically, if you did jettison Harris and Kerry and choose a better running mate, your chances in 2024 would improve dramatically. Is that why you had California Gov. Gavin Newsom debate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis the other night on Fox? Please share those focus group results with all of us. Today would be nice.
We realize you won’t toss Harris or Kerry, and that’s why you need to announce you’ll be stepping down next year. Being decisive is not your forte. The world needs leadership more than ever. Putin, Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah and all the rest are watching you equivocate with every move you make. We’ve avoided mentioning your birthday — happy 81 — but going soft does come with age.
America can’t risk another four years of your administration.

Your indecisiveness with migrants crossing the border — or entering the country through all the others holes in the immigration system — is bankrupting major cities across the nation.
Our state’s end-of-year supplemental budget was held up for a few days by heroic Republicans who want better controls on the migrant mess. Yet, you just delegate this to VP Harris — again, why she needs to go — while mayors and governors beg for millions to bail you out.
We’ll bet this topic won’t come up today as you hobnob behind closed doors while being serenaded by James Taylor.
Again, if you stood on the tarmac and Logan Airport right after you land to decare you’re here to make a major announcement on the migrant flood, you could actually win over fed-up voters. But you won’t.
We understand the political playbook instructs that while in Massachusetts, don’t bother to be bold because Democrats rule the roost. But since this is an advice column, be careful. Independent-minded voters have Nov. 5 marked on their calendars.
That’s the message you’ll receive — loud and clear — when you are pushed out. Why not take our word for it now?
