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'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.

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.
