Wish I'd written this . . .

Lou Pritchett is a retired Procter and Gamble executive. He wrote this letter to Obama and submitted it to The New York Times for publication. Surprisingly (not), to date, the newspaper has not printed the letter.

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 [actually, I know more than I want to -- enough to know that he's a very dangerous man].

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 [and we all know how efficient government programs are].

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one [I heard an anecdote yesterday about one of the European countries on national health care -- if an ambulance is called for an emergency, the first question is "how old is the victim." If the answer is 65 or over, the ambulance is not dispatched. I have no idea whether or not this is true, but Obama can't do what he says he will without rationing of some sort.]

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 [by this time, it's progressed considerably beyond "begun" -- this week, Obama appointed his "compensation czar."]

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 [see yesterday's post].

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do [notice: this letter was not printed].

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 has hit the nail on the head -- we should all be afraid.
