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 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’Reillys 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]

 

            The week of June 8, 2009, President Obama appointed yet another czar with massive government power, answering ONLY to him. Even before this latest appointment, the top-ranking Democrat wrote President Obama a letter saying that these czars are unconstitutional. President Obama’s “czar strategy” is an unprecedented POWER GRAB CENTRALIZING AUTHORITY in the White House, outside congressional oversight and in violation of the Constitution.

            As of the week of June 8, 2009, Czar Kenneth Feinberg has the authority to set the pay scale for executives at any company receiving government money.

            Congress did not give Czar Feinberg this authority. For that matter, Congress has not authorized any of the czars that President Barack Obama has created. Over the past thirty years, presidents have each had one or two czars for various issues, and once the number went as high as five. But now, by some counts, President Obama has created sixteen czars, and there may be more on the way. Each of these has enormous governmental power, and answers ONLY to the president!!! (Are we seeing a Socialist/Communist/Progressive dictatorship in the making? When is someone going to start “impeachment” proceedings against Obama for not upholding the Constitution?)

            Ever since this practice of appointing czars began years ago, it has always been considered possible that they are all unconstitutional. But it never built to a critical mass to elicit a court fight. These czars were few and far between, and rarely did anything that seriously ruffled any feathers. But President Obama has taken this to an unprecedented level, to the point where these appointments are DANGEROUS to our Constitutional regime. Mr. President: You are scaring us all!!!
