AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
By Lou Pritchett

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.

Mr. Pritchett confirmed that he was indeed the author of the much-circulated "open letter." “I did write the 'you scare me' letter. I sent it to the NY Times but they never acknowledged or published it. However, it hit the internet and according to the ‘experts’ has had over 500,000 hits.

Mr Pritchett, I agree with you and thanks for having the testicular fortitude to tell it like it is to the world. This will probably put me on the governments watch list as an American terrorist.

Most of the things said by mr. prichett also hold true of our last President, and i do not recall mr. prichett saying anything then. George Bush ran a couple of businesses into the ground, didn't serve in the Military (i'm not counting playing national guard) , nor did Cheney, Rumsfelt, or Rove (Bush's brain). I thought it quite funny that mr. prichett is scared of alternate engery, why's that? i also find it amazing that mr. prichett has never taken the time to find out how Obama paid for his education, or bothered to read either one of his books, since he is so scared of not knowing these things.
Clearly, this letter is a hatchet job by someone with an ax (hatchet) to grind.
I wondered, if mr. prichett was so brilliant, why did he only rise to the position of V.P. at P&G; and not President? Maybe because he is a little screwy

The trouble with Obama is that nobody knows anything about him before he became a Senator.

he was a 'coupe des ta'  by 'the people'......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Bush was no peach, for sure! But obama is scary at best. The guy goes over to the arab nations and europe on his apology tour and what do we read in the paper today? A truck bomb goes off in front of a 5 star hotel in Pakistan.

Uh Yup....that's working mr. pres. They threw your hugs and kisses right back at'cha! AND to add insult to injury, obama wants to cut back on military defense. Uh Yup...another real smart move!

Plus obama gets a free ride/pass from the media. So obama will be shielded from the negative press that Bush got. So basically, we will never really know what obama is up to. We will only know what the liberal media 'chooses' to tell us! SCARY!
IMHO

I fear that in the not too distant future one of the terrorists who Obama praises will gift wrap one of those surprises like they delivered to the 5 star hotel and deliver it to Washington DC with their hugs and kisses.
