Buffalo, sorry I was not referring to your original post, but the open letter to Obama.

I highlighted a couple good ones from the letter and I might have changed some to be more true inside the quotes but I see that gives some here "pissy pants".

The first I am scared line is something about knowing nothing of you, then the rest of the letter goes on and on about how much he knows of Obama. WTF? There is probably more about Obama "out there" than any other president, and he has not completed his first term yet.

So when does one become "culturally" American? Was he culturally American enough to be a senator? I think he is just enough culturally BLACK enough to scare small minded folks.

Probably should have let the letter post go away like it apparently did when it was sent to NYT.    

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.
Commonly quoted on many websites, this quotation is actually from Gerald Ford's August 12th, 1974 address to Congress."

That's not so constructive...you damn fool.

There's one way I see a re-election, and that has to do with a sad figure. The sad figure is 50%; set your other wheel on the ground, look around, and figure that one for yourself.

OMFG!!!!!!


You righties never letup. Try fact checking the above post? Sad that your party cannot resume control?

That crap is funny to those that love the U.S., never mind the president.


You damnn fools cannot reason your way out of a paper bag.

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 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 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.

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.
Big surprise. Since it hit the Internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits.

“If the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court,” wrote Abraham Lincoln, “the people will have ceased to be their own rulers.”
