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 shirks 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
Limbaugh's, 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.

[The above letter written some time back, was sent to the New
York Times but they, obviously, never acknowledged it. But Big Surprise! Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over
500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now.http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.a
