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.
Lou Pritchett
Woohoo! Great post!
Yes, but he can read a teleprompter like no one else!
Absolute truth, ping.
This talk of being scared is counterproductive - Mr. Pritchett, get angry and get even.

OOPS - and please ignore the double-post.
Does Obama have NPD?
The speed with which Obama is moving us closer to the edge of the cliff, I would be afraid to co-sign this letter one year from his messing up the “Oath of Office”.
From Lou’s keyboard to God’s inbox...please.
You scare me because you are creating a constitutional crisis by refusing to prove you meet the minimum criteria for being President.
Most of the current members of the US Congress are equally as scary for they are rubber stamping the destruction of America by Zero and his henchmen.
Excellent post.......
bttt
Obama, you scare me because you and your party have been trying to disarm patriotic, freedom-loving Americans for years. What do you plan that is so bad that we must be rendered defenseless against you?
O-BOO-ma.
I’m not scared of Obama... He annoys me to no end because people believe he knows what he’s doing, meanwhile his actions and policies are dismantling our economy, suppressing financial and technological innovation, suppressing scientific advancement, and so on. All of which will eventually erode our individual freedoms for the so-called common good, which will end up being commonly bad for all of us.
Nah, he doesn’t scare me. What scares me are all the Americans who will probably elect him to a second term because they have their heads too far up their collective arses to realize that if promises were horses then beggars would ride. What scares me is the fact that conservatives can’t combine behind a common leader and a common agenda to save this country because we’re too attached to our “micro-goals” and issues to see that what this country needs is a push in the right direction, not a smorgasbord of right-wing policy. What scares me is that the Republican leadership are too busy bickering with one another, and nobody has laid the blame for the lack of conservative movement and momentum building in the past eight years with our Republican Congress-critters who systematically refused to push banking reform, economic/financial reform, social security reform, immigration reform because they lacked the courage of any convictions.
Yep, the Liberals have the upper hand because their elected officials are typically true believers in their cause. Our Conservative leaders tend toward pragmatists who separate their personal conservative beliefs from their public policy positions whenever they deem it politically convenient.
