I made this anonymous so that the many people who do not support Obama will feel free and safe to express their views and opinions without being berated.

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, Hannitys, 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.

Good thing we're not at work and we are able to speak freely in this open forum.

   Pritchett's letter resembles an argument--an ad hominem argument. In this case, it's fallacious, and conspicuously so.

   How is it possible that people believe this kind of pap? How is it possible that Pritchett would mangle his credibility by publishing it?

    For the person who posted this letter on NL:  you're a mark--you're the person I would target if I wanted to con someone out of a dollar or a vote or a favor.

Obviosly, one can make or begin a forum in this fashion when one is Anonymous... interesting!!

Opinion?

No wonder so many teachers become alcoholics.

Maybe Obama supporters have calmed down becasue it's become painfully obvious that they made a terrible mistake.

I don't see this as manipulative at all, but then that's my opinion, which according to previous posts I guess I am no longer entitled to have.

What makes people think that calumny qualifies as opinion?

Why would anyone debate vilification, and not abhor it?

God save us from the gullible, and God save the gullible from themselves.

Pres Obama doesn't scare me however his followers do !!they seem way more out of it than he does!! Pres Obama is the product of our last 40 years of public school.  teaching children that its not okay to fight back when bullied and just run to the office screaming "hate speech" does little for ones self esteem. teaching children that its okay to not say the pledge of allegiance and that its okay to take something that isn't yours cuz "its time to spread the wealth around." and that teaching kindergarteners about sex ed is necessary.  these are our problems we have created them without the help of Pres Obama and now these little whipper snappers are all growed up and voting just how they were taught by the public school system.  Why should any of us blame Pres Obama? he is a tool that is all!the devil is in the details here people.

Unfortunatly what this letter states is for the most part true and what truly scares me is those who posted their comments about hate and not verbalizing an opinion when it is contrary has become the norm.   When our president was running for office you were not allowed to find anything about his wife or children but it was ok to smear president Bush and his family.  No one looked into Ms Obama's tenure at university of chicago but we were able to ask questions about Ms Bush and all of the other people running.  This what is good for one but not for me attitude is what is killing the country.  We all have to be equal and have wealth but not work for it sense of entitlement has to end. Who are the ones paying for his lack of experience, the average tax payer who loose their homes and jobs now more then ever before.  Stop the crying foul and remember those in charge lead the country by understanding and example no just mear words.

Wow, what a letter and also what comments. I fully expected some really nasty comments by both Obama supporters and detractors. Especially since this is anonymous. Maybe the posters on NL have calmed down a little since Obama was first elected.

I do not know if they have calmed down or if they are all trying to survive in the New Socialist America.

wasn't he married to that chick in the Scarlett Letter?????????????hahahahaha i crack myself up!!!!!!!!

I think we all set high standards by which we judge others especially leaders, and yes most especially the President of the U.S.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we all would first strive to reach those same high standards in our own lives before we judge others?

Maybe we would go a little easier on others when we realize what a struggle it really is to get where we want to be, and for others to get to where we or they expect them to be in life.

It is always easier to expect others to get 'er done.

I have to stop and ask myself:

What have I done today to make my own life, family, community, workplace, country or world  a better place to live in?
