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
Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys 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

I received this over a month ago in a private email and it was attributed to someone else! Believe me it was word for word.

As I have said before "no matter who occupies the White House the Republic will survive". Bless the men who drafted the Constitution.

[RABBITFISH]

This may be true but that doesn't mean that significant damage cannot be inflicted upon her. Once this socialist crap is entangled in our system it is damn near impossible to get rid of it because of class warfare from the side who benefits the most from implementing it. When our healthcare system falls into the hands of the government, it will be the beginning of the end unless there is new revolution or uprising. What our illustrious dickheads in the senate are calling a debate is more like "sit down and shut the f$#k up while we tell you how it's going to be". Doesn't sound like a debate to me. They don't want to hear from us unless it's "Yes, Senator, Thank you Senator. Can you stick it in a little deeper Senator?" We have been asleep for too long and now there is going to be hell to pay for our laxed attitude.

I will forward this letter to as many people as I can.

sounds like it could have been written for the previous president. I could take issue with several of the line items also, but I'll just ask the following questions for you all to consider.

For all of who think he's doing such a terrible job....what exactly would you do different, or what do you think John McCain would have done different? Would we really be in a different situation if the election had gone the other way and why do you think that?
