AN
OPEN LETTER TO
PRESIDENT
OBAMA
| |
Dear
President Obama:
You are the
thirteenth President under whom I have lived and
unlike
any of the others, you
truly scare me.
You scare me
because after months of exposure, I know
nothing about you.
You scare me
because I do not know how you paid for your
expensive
Ivy League education
and your upscale lifestyle and housing with
no
visible signs of
support.
You scare me because you
did not spend the formative years of
youth
growing up in America and
culturally you are not
an American.
You scare me
because you have never run a company or met
a payroll.
You scare me because you
have never had military experience,
thus
don't understand it at its
core.
You scare me because you lack
humility and 'class', always blaming
others.
You scare me because for
over half your life you have
aligned
yourself with radical
extremists who hate America and you refuse
to
publicly denounce these
radicals who wish to see America
fail..
You scare me because you are
a cheerleader for the 'blame America
'
crowd and deliver this message
abroad.
You scare me because you
want to change America to a European
style
country where the
government sector dominates instead of the
private sector.
You scare me
because you want to replace our health care
system
with a government
controlled one.
You scare me
because you prefer 'wind mills' to
responsibly
capitalizing on our
own vast oil, coal and shale
reserves.
You scare me because you
want to kill the American capitalist
goose
that lays the golden egg
which provides the highest standard
of
living in the
world.
You scare me because you
have begun to use 'extortion'
tactics
against certain banks and
corporations.
You scare me because
your own political party shrinks
from
challenging you on your wild
and irresponsible spending
proposals.
You scare me because you
will not openly listen to or even
consider
opposing points of view
from intelligent people.
You scare
me because you falsely believe that you are
both
omnipotent and
omniscient.
You scare me because
the media gives you a free pass on
everything
you
do.
You scare me because you
demonize and want to silence
the
Limbaugh's, Hannity's,
O'Reillys and Becks who offer
opposing,
conservative points of
view.
You scare me because you
prefer controlling over
governing.
Finally, you scare me
because if you serve a second term I
will
probably not feel safe in
writing a similar letter in 8
years.
Lou
Pritchett

This
letter was sent to the NY Times but they
never acknowledged
it.
Big surprise. Since it
hit the internet, however, it has had
over
500,000 hits. Keep it going.
All that is necessary for evil to
succeed
is that good men do
nothing. It's happening right now.*
