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
TRUE - CHECK:
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.
