You Scare Me

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.

Breaking News: Things Aren't As Bad As They Seem

This just in: President Barack Obama has just announced that the economy is not as bad as we, the American citizens, were mistakenly believing. President Obama dropped everything he had on his agenda to share this insider information with the public, so we would not worry needlessly for one more second than necessary. The President shared a bit of wisdom to reporters, "Things are never as bad as they seem, and they are never as good as they seem."

All Americans should be breathing a sigh of relief. Wait! What was that comment with which the President followed up? "We didn't know the underlying factors two(2) years ago that led up to this", the President announced. Hold up with the party favors, Gladys!. Maybe the optimism President Obama is sharing with us is just as misleading as his continual blame confusion. He is getting more clever as to how and when to slip in the mass hypnotic suggestions. I can hear the voices all around the country. "That's right, you tell 'em Barack. It's not as bad as those fools thought."

The fact that the stock market has gained a few hundred points in the last three days is hardly the sign of a steady trend of recovering the two thousand or so lost in the last 50 days. We can only hope it does, which is what Obama is doing.

Judging the health of the economy by the stock market is like judging a person's wealth by their credit score!!!

The facts that led up to this point, of which our President speaks, were the facts Senator McCain and other Republicans attempted to introduce to then Senator Obama and his Democratic accomplices. The many facts and evidential documents produced were shrugged off with angry screams of "Witch hunt" and "Lynch mob" from the Dems, adamantly defending the director of Fanny Mae.

President Obama also commented today, the fundamentals of the economy are sound. Yes! That is exactly what he said. If you remember, during the campaign, when Senator McCain made the exact same statement, Barack Obama repeated it over and over for days... "It just shows how out of touch he is", replied Obama. Well, politicians have never been accused of having integrity, but, once again, Obama is rubbing the dirt in our face with a "na-na-na-na-na".

Recently, the President's approval rating has dropped approximately 9% to 59% over all. While that doesn't sound like much, it is highly unusual for any new administration; 9% of millions, which previously approved, is a lot of people. These are the people, of which whom, voted for Mr. Obama on idealistic fantasies, and are now waking up. The rest are just holding onto their stubbornness. Even the extremely low income, impoverished citizens should not want to walk down this road of Socialism. During the campaign, when an incident arose where the Patriotism of the Democratic nominee was questioned, outrage abound from every talking head on every news channel for days. The truth is, there is nothing Patriotic about what the Dems are doing with these so-called stimulus packages. They have clearly put there own desires in front of what is best for our Nation. This was obvious from the get-go to most. Some clearly do not care. But, Heaven forbid we call a spade a spade and dare say aloud, "None of these attempts are Constitutional!"

I have to admit, if nothing else, President Obama is consistent. He never lets an opportunity escape to blame someone else, and he never misses an opportunity to get in front of the cameras. Only, if he would have refrained from making so many public comments recently, the markets may not have fallen so badly, due to lack of confidence. We plead with you, Mr. President, stay in your office and work hard on the situation, rather than talking about it to the cameras. You just may accidentally find a solution, which would be much more productive than your visibility.

The Blame Game: Do Not Pass 'Go'

It has been thirty years or so since I last played Monopoloy, the board game. Most of us have played it at one time, or another (or many times). If you just played it once in your life, or maybe not at all, the chances are better than good you have heard the expression related to picking the chance card... "Go directly to jail; do not pass 'GO', do not collect $200". We as Americans have played a crucial game of 'chance' and we drew the wrong card. We picked the "Socialism" card and we cannot pass 'Go', and we cannot collect our $200, or any other amount.

We were offered the facts, but, we chose to ignore them, as so many still ignore them. All throughout the campaign for the Presidential Elections '08, the Democrats played the same old blame game. We were shown, through limited media, Barack Obama and his Democrat cronies were directly to blame for the failing system they defended so staunchly. They were warned three years ago, by certain Republicans (McCain for one), that exactly what is happening today, would happen. There was documented evidence regarding FannyMae and FreddyMac being out of control. The Dems, Barny Frank being the loudest, shouted "Witch Hunt" and "LYNCH mob". No matter how the facts were presented that Obama had nothing but questionable associations and ties to Socialism, most of us ignored the facts, because, it was time to have a black President.

The fact that Obama is black should have had nothing to do with his being elected. Ten years ago, he wouldn't have made it pass the first primary, and rightly so. A junior Senator, with no real credentials, except, he reads a good teleprompter. The proof is now clear, "Change" was a joke. It is business as usual. And now that the head Liberal is Commander, they don't have to worry about explaining to the American people why they let this situation happen; when George Bush pleaded with them to pass the necessary legislation to clean up the corrupt organizations which led to disaster for so many. Most of the media (with liberal agendas) would never air or print the following material that may have kept their Prince from victory.
