May, 2009 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'Rellly's and Beck's 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
