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

Limbaugh's, Hannity's, O'Reillys 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.

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.*

Before someone starts the ubiquitous "it's a fake"

stuff, it's not what matters. The sentiment is what

matters. This kind of stuff is what everyone thinks

about him, the good coming out of it is that our

country is starting to wake up.

May be that it's suspect, but it's a good sign.

The snopes at the bottom means nothing to me,

except it probably is suspect.

I'm commenting simply so I can easily find the thread in the future.

[StPatrick]

Ahem...RAAAAAAAAAAAACISSSSSST!

/so the MFM doesn't have to...they're writing Lady Gaga stories of vital importance as we speak, and must not be diverted from that important task

I will add my own:

You scare me because, when confronted with empirical evidence that your plans for [insert government intervention here] aren't working, you and your cadre of advisors only decide to double down, yet I and millions of others are the "bitterly clinging" idealogues.

You scare me because you campaigned as an above the fray, ultra-intelligent, suave, nuanced, leader of men, who would restore the country to its past glory, albeit by changing everything that made such glory possible. Your past record and current performance suggest you are none of the previous, except for the part about changing things.

You scare me because to this point, you have been a useful idiot to Madame Pelosi and Mr. Reid. As I am sure you know Josef Stalin's writings well (yes, I know...he didn't do the whole collectivism thing right, and that's why it failed), you are familiar with the concept of the "useful idiot". If you're unsure who that is when applied to the current American political scene, look in the mirror. If you still don't understand, since you're too busy gazing upon your distinguished visage and imagining how historians will remember you, you're the idiot. You. You've been punked by an old San Francisco granny who married enough money to do whatever she wants, and a former mob lawyer. You let your fantastic vision be put into action by them, and tried to blame the right when it failed. Pollyanna just called - she thinks you need a reality check.

That letter full of misinformation, he might as well said "you scare me because I don't think for myself"

I was promised Obama would ban guns and install death panels.I was also promised massive tax increases. I was also promised Obama would repeal the patriot act and restore civil rights. I was promised a lot of things.

What I got was, well, more of the same. The freedom I was promised hasn't shown up, the draconian world hasn't shown up either. I have seen a lot spending without concrete results. I think the keysian thing to do is spend in slow economic times and save in good times. Which makes sense on the surface. But I am fairly sure that we were already spending more than we took in so...I would've imagined the economy should have been going great guns.

Right now we need a decidedly great president, not a decidedly mediocre one. We need Peyton Manning and we get Joe Flaco.

[Guest Glock23ForMe]

I hope it's real... And he read it... He probably didn't but I hope he can/will, WAIT! he plays too much golf.

[Guest mosinon]

oh, it is real from what I can tell. A real exec sent it. But I have heard better much better arguments from the members of this board than this stuff. You don't have to be an exec to make good points.

[Links2k]

I am afraid of all presidents. They all suck! The next leader will suck regardless if it's Obama, a Tea Party clown, or a Republican. None of them will do anything in the best interest of the people/country. Lastly I am really afraid of people that think that things will change simply because you get rid of Obama. Pawns will still be pawns in 2012 and beyond.

[Mike.357]

I hope it's real... And he read it... He probably didn't but I hope he can/will, WAIT! he plays too much golf.

he may have read it but certainly he did not acknowledge any of the truths in it. Nobody with an ego like this guy has would see himself in that letter
