We Don't Believe You, Mr. President

Dear President Obama,

Every citizen with a modicum of insight into public affairs would say that America is now at a crossroads of decision about what kind of future we want for our nation - and, by extension, for the rest of the world. Whether we like it or not, you are the one who is designated by a vote of the electorate to lead us in that decision-making process. You have asked for the job, and you have proposed yourself as being competent for it. History will judge your Administration on its own merits when your term is complete, but we, the citizens of this country, must judge it for what we see happening before our very eyes. Quite frankly, the picture isn't pretty, and you haven't earned our respect as a leader.

The reason for this, Mr. President, is that we can't believe what you say, and frankly, what you do is utterly unbelievable at times.

The recent Gulf Coast oil spill disaster is indicative of your utter carelessness with the onerous burden of governance. Not only did you dis the families of the 11 workers killed in the disaster, but you also attended fundraisers in CA, a trip to the golf course and several state parties in the White House during the whole time the Governor of Louisiana has been screaming frantically for your attention. How can you expect us to believe that you were actually "in charge" of handling the disaster? In six weeks we have seen hardly a shred of evidence to convince us of that. A leader who says he is in charge of something and then conducts a systematic campaign of blaming, dodging, obfuscating, ignoring and even now prosecuting the others involved - instead of fixing the problem - will hardly go down in the record books as the savior he proposed himself to be when he was elected. You are the Commander-in-Chief who has gone AWOL on a truly national crisis.

On top of all that, you basically blew off a sacred national holiday, Memorial Day, for the sake of a vacation to gangsterland. That slap in the face to our military men and women was not lost on anyone, nor was the narcissistic disregard for American history or anything other than what fits your extreme political agenda. These are appalling traits for the one who holds the highest political office in our land, and only a fawning and dishonest media allows you to get away with this negligence in office.

Speaking of which, what are we to make of your pathetic excuse for the crime of attempting to bribe Congressman Sestak to bow out of the Senate race against Arlen Specter? Do you really think Americans believe the utterly implausible story about offering him a "non-paying" position on some presidential panel? Your Administration's explanation, issued on the afternoon of a holiday weekend, rings hollow, and everyone knows it. "Hollow" is an adequate word to describe your Administration, your political theatre and your rhetoric. Even some of your staunchest ideological supporters admit that it is getting increasingly hard to believe that you mean anything you say.

In the midst of all this domestic incompetence and dishonesty, we have seen no realistic response to North Korean, Iranian or Turkish aggression on the world scene. Foreign politicians know you are a leftist lightweight, and so we can expect more of the same from the rogue nations of the world, further destabilizing the security of our nation and the world. We have, however, seen you and your inept band of political marauders pander to foreign dictators and exploit the Mexican President to abuse us and our national deliberations on serious issues. We have seen your ideological hacks take over whole industries, plunder the private sector, abuse the good will of states and consume sound American institutions as if they were your enemies and with a ferocity that would befit only those who we would call our true national enemies.

Like the Gulf oil spill, your Administration is out of control, and every day is another step closer to disaster. As the oil continues to pollute, kill and damage the external beauty and economy of a whole region, you and your team are doing the same with the trust of the people who built this great country.

We deserve better, Mr. President, and it's time you start doing your job.

Sincerely,

Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International

Two more years of Obama, if not even longer? Very depressing!

[combat_boots]

Apologies. Mod. Please remove. I didn’t search well enough.

Great post - thanks.

The previous thread was posted over twelve hours ago so this thread will be okay.

[Shane]

No apologies required, It should be posted everyday and on the front page of every news paper.

Okay, thank you! It’s a letter that merits multiple-exposure; I wasn’t aware of the 12-hour rule. :):)

A little information on Fr. Euteneuer for those unfamiliar with him:

Euteneuer was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1962, the fourth of seven children born to Joseph and Mariann Euteneuer. He has a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana as well as a Licentiate degree in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. He is fluent in Spanish.

While in college, Euteneuer participated in the Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program, attended boot camp at Quantico, Virginia, and graduated at the top of his company. Believing that the Lord was calling him to the priesthood rather than the military, he entered the seminary. After his ordination in 1988, Euteneuer served as a parish priest in five parishes of the Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida, secretary to the diocesan bishop, director of vocations, and spiritual moderator for the diocesan Respect Life Office. --Link.

Also, it should be noted that Fr. Euteneuer is an exorcist, and this recent article shows his seriousness in that regard. Prayers for Fr. Euteneuer (and all priests!), yesterday, today, and tomorrow ... :)

(And Fr. Euteneuer is the priest who previously debated Sean Hannity on his "cafeteria" approach to Catholicism.)

Nice letter but a waste of time. Might as well cast seed on a rock!

Ahhhhhh, you do not know Fr. Euteneuer as well as you could ... and, remember, "the faith of a mustard seed ..."

"Exorcism is a field of battle — only men enter there. It is a place of testing where light meets darkness in mortal combat, where pure goodness clashes with pure evil. Into this arena an incarnate priestly spirit throws himself with prayer, fasting, and a little ritual book against a purely evil entity who dares to violate the temple of God. Roman gladiators and modern metro cool guys haven’t the courage to go there, but priests do. I would say that it is our natural field of battle — for the souls of God’s people…” --Fr. Euteneuer, exorcist.

Yes, it is too late for America.
The evil and dumb now outnumber the good and bright.

I feel for the young and those that can not leave.

Where are your spiritual muscles? Christ hears the cries of His people. Jesus cannot be overtaken by Satan; it is impossible!! Pray for our young. Pray for our priests. Pray for US!

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Power of God -
thrust into hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits,
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

[Shady]

Very well written and spot on the money.

[AlexW]

“Where are your spiritual muscles?”

If I were still under 50 I would be with you, but the enemy is now within, not foreign.
Do not forget, America was founded by people who left their home countries.
I have left my home country as to not live under Marxist domination.

The double posting is an act of God. I missed it the first time and it's one of the best critiques of Obama I've seen to date. No apology needed.

"Nice letter but a waste of time. Might as well cast seed on a rock!"

What I meant by this is it will fall on deaf ears with Obama. Not that the points weren't correct.

Obozo has no substance!

He is a left-wing moron who is as slow-witted as they come when he strays too far from his handlers and his teleprompters.

Obozo is a Progressive which implies severe criticism of our nation’s founding left behind as we ‘progress.’ His promise, in which he will never waver, is that for every problem one will find an unfulfilled desire. All human activities must be regulated by massive government in order to treat all desires as needs.

This simple-minded socialist, this ‘Hawaiian-born’ carpetbagger moved into Chicagoland politics where he fit in as the slimiest of them all. Strange.

Now, as we look ahead, we see this aberration has over 900 days in which to turn a once-great nation into a larger copy of Venezuela. Why not forget that some of us voted for this empty suit and press for his ouster?

We owe it to our children, grandchildren, and yes, to ourselves and our bleeding nation.
