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'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing,conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governBRg.

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 inter-net, 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.

He doesent scare me because I see something happening.

I see the american public awakening.

It is slow, it is ponderous, it is a struggle to overcome the welfare nanny state.

Yet there is the Hannitys, Limbaughs, and others. But most of all there is word of mouth and now the internet.

I'm not scared I'm hopefull.

I'm wondering why the Dem's haven't proposed an amendment for a third term.

Good answer ... I have also seen the option of the internet to gain a foot hold on the truth. Just today in fact ...

Sides are being chosen ...

bloggers will win where the truth can be honestly spoken.

Misinformation can be handled quicker between oposing sides than the normal routes of network news shows.

"Mr Subman please send me some sand" ... oh wait a minute that's the sandman.

Your alright with me subman. I like you, I don't always agree with your polictcal views, but you have passion, you have ryhme, you have reason, but this guy you are forwarding on is just a salesman (a very rich salesman too)with a vanity problem.

If the New York Times wouldn't touch it ... why bother?

and this letter may very well be sent from who it says sent it, but not all of the contents are true.

Snopes can't verify this lol

Yes, I'm sure Obama really thinks he is a god. How could the NYT pass up such a brilliant letter?

This one is easy. First of all the language while raising many valid points smaks of 'extremisim'.

But secondly and more importantly it doesent suit the New York Times agenda... er ... journalistic ethics.

Platapus · 08-13-09, 03:48 PM

Ok so snopes confirms that this guy wrote the letter.

So?

This guy does not like Obama and he wrote a letter to a newspaper. He is entitle to his opinion, but I should care about his opinion why?

This letter carries exactly the same amount of weight as a letter from some Obama lover.

It is nice that he wanted to share his opinion.. I guess.
