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.

 Mr. Obama:
 
 I have had it with you and your administration, sir.
 Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me
 that you are not an adequate representative of the United
 States of America collectively or of me personally.
 
 You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and
 the Muslim world that you have abdicated the
 responsibilities of the President of the United States of
 America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United
 States.
 
 You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country
 on earth. I personally resent that you go around the world
 apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we
 are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world.
 Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second
 World War were all about if not the consideration of the
 peoples of Europe? Are you brain dead ? What do you think
 the Marshall Plan was all about?
 
 Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th
 century? Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that
 the United States does not consider itself a Christian country?
 Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the
 Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded
 on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this
 country, at least until you came along, come directly from
 this heritage. Do you not understand this?
 
 Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront
 to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to
 anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don't
 show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the
 respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi
 Arabia How dare you, sir! How dare you!
 
 You can't find the time to visit the graves of our
 greatest generation because you don't want to offend the
 Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey .
 You offended our dead and every veteran when you give
 the Germans more respect than the people who saved the
 German people from themselves. What's the matter with you?
 
 I am convinced that you and the members of your
 administration have the historical and intellectual depth of
 a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of
 you. You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers
 and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing
 about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank,
 Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses,
 and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to
 do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.
 
 What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1
 million in bonuses to their staff members - on top of the
 $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave
 themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17%
 bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my
 employer.
 
 You haven't said anything about that. Who authorized that?
 I surely didn't! Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
 will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an
 eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the
 AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have
 already been awarded $51 million - not a bad take. Who
 authorized that and why haven't you expressed your outrage
 at this group who are largely responsible for the economic
 mess we have right now.
 
 I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead
 and not caring about what you idiots do. We are watching
 what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with
 all of you. I also want you to know that I personally find
 just about everything you do and say to be offensive to
 every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will
 work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend
 two terms destroying my beautiful country.
 
 Sincerely,
 
 Every Real American
