Dear President Obama, Posted on 06/04/2010 2:43:56 PM PDT by mlizzy
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
Was it C. S. Lewis or G. K. Chesterson who said “What we need now are men with chests”.
Yep—courage comes from the heart and in this case, Fr.’s courage comes from a heart that is given over to the Lord.
May he continue in his valuable work.
bump!
These are the boons that the national guard put out..It looks substantial and well done. The ‘worker’ is suppose to be gathering the oil blobs(I guess)....which he isn’t doing.

Damn!
Zero just got nailed!
Zero should have been sitting in this good Father’s church instead of Rev. Wrong’s.
Forwarding...
We thank you
Talk is only effective on those who will listen and who have a moral conscience.
The person you are addressing has neither.
Therefor there is only one ( 1 ) thing that he and his “ilk” understand and that is a gun to their faces ( or a knife to their throats) and people who are protecting their freedom and families. People who resent the fact that they actually have to take such action and are forced to do so because civility has broken down and only dictates of the elite remain.
Until you and others come to that same conclusion, you are just wasting your breath and delaying the day when we will have to make such a step. The longer you take to make that decision only shifts the likelihood of dictatorial powers succeeding and us having no chance in hell to save our rights.
What an idiot Hannity is. I had not seen that.
Sean is as bad as Pelosi.
The man just lost all my respect.
Was it C. S. Lewis or G. K. Chesterson who said “What we need now are men with chests”. Yep—courage comes from the heart and in this case, Fr.’s courage comes from a heart that is given over to the Lord.I believe it was C.S. Lewis, and you might find this interesting:
"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.
Fr. Euteneuer expels demons. As a Roman Catholic priest, he also brings the Body of Christ through the Most Holy Eucharist to those of us who so desperately need it. He does not threaten anyone (not even Satan!) with bodily harm.
Bumping your excellent thread!
LOL..I love it! He just spoke for all of us too, exactly how we all feel.
LOL..I love it! He just spoke for all of us too, exactly how we all feel.Yes, and since I live in "gangsterland," I got a *huge* kick out of that. Let's keep him in our 3:30 Beads! perpetually, k?
The reason that Oozo picked "Plugs" Biden is because trhere is no one and I mean not one sane or stable Person that wants to see this goof ball as President!
It is said, “God works in mysterious ways”.
Great messenger... great message.
I must not be sane then, because I would rather have Biden for the next two years over Obama. At least you don’t get the feeling that Plugs despises this country and is out to destroy it on purpose.
It is said, “God works in mysterious ways”. Great messenger... great message.Agreed! Please remember him in your prayers. :)
Rev. 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, Rev. Euteneuer participated in the Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program, attended basic training at Quantico, Virginia and graduated at the top of his Company. After discerning that the Lord was calling him to the priesthood rather than the military, he entered the seminary. After his ordination in 1988, Fr. 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.
This is a man deserving of respect.
And thank you for the introduction. I'd never heard of him before. A real man wearing a collar like Fr. Euteneuer could restore my faith when all my and others' efforts have failed.
I love this guy!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure that you have come close to biting your own tongue off more than a few times just to keep the peace. You have my sympathy.
