    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.





    Food for thought I found...just passing it on

    The statements are brilliant and accurate. Can't verify the origin, though.

    But I suspect this thread is short lived regardless.

    Well that easy. This is why the political threads don't and won't last long. I was close to locking the thread as soon as I saw it but was debating whether or not to let it go since it was real.

    However, calling someone else's opinion stupid because you don't agree with it (and that goes both ways) is only going to serve to get threads locked. Is his opinion worth less because you don't agree with it? Does that make your opinion more valuable?

    You could have simply said, "I don't agree" but you instead called it stupid making it very easy for me to lock another thread today.

    Guys (and gals) its real simple; if we can't discuss current events and political opinions in a civil, mature, and respectful manner maybe we don't need to discuss them at all.

    And before you guys start PMing me about I'm only closing the pro-Obama postings let me tell you that I will close any and all of them if they don't meet the criteria above. You may not agree with Obama but he's still the President of the United States. Treat him as such.
