The New York Times missed the opportunity to publish a great op-ed letter to President Obama from Lou Pritchett, a former vice president of Procter & Gamble who worked for that company for 36 years until his retirement in 1989. So I thought I'd give his letter a little press through my syndicated column, and add a few more thoughts of my own.

Mr. Pritchett confirmed via Snopes that he was the author of the "open letter to President Obama": "I did write the 'you scare me' letter. I sent it to the NY Times but they never acknowledged or published it."

I think you'll readily see why any Left-leaning newspaper won't run it. Here's a copy:

[quote]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'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[/quote]

Thank you, Mr. Pritchett, for your love for America, honesty and willingness to risk your reputation by speaking up to this administration.



Now let me add a few of my own fears to yours.

[quote]President Obama:
You scare me because so many amazing corporate and American leaders like Lou Pritchett say things about you like: 'You scare me.'"

You scare me because, after you initiate more government borrowing and bailouts than all presidents combined, you require Congress to follow a system that is "pay-as-you-go."

You scare me because you really do believe that going into massive amounts of debt can remedy our economy in the long run.

You scare me because you repeatedly still play the blame game with the Bush administration but never blame the Clinton administration, even though it was responsible for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac subprime fiasco via the proliferation of loans to low income unqualified borrowers.

You scare me because you buy and run banking, automobile and soon health industries with taxpayers' money but refuse to call it socialism.

You scare me because your actions don't reflect the federal governmental constraints and fiscal prudent principles of our Founding Fathers and Constitution.

You scare me because you promise to lead from the center but drive hard and fast to the Left.

You scare me because you claim to be a fighter for minorities and constitutional promises of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet what greater minority can be defended than those in the womb, against whom you have already enacted more pro-abortion-related laws than anyone since Roe v. Wade?

You promise to defend the U.S. against all potential enemies, yet you pacify those who harbor terrorists, fight for the rights of combative detainees, and enable the enemies of Israel.

You scare me because you deny America's Judeo-Christian heritage before other countries of the world, espousing "the promise of a secular nation" during an age in which religious revisionism is already on the rise. (Thank God for Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., and others, who are even now trying to preserve America's religious history by proposing the passage of the Spiritual Heritage Bill 397 – call or write your representative today to support it).

You scare me because your media team (including the mainstream media) will seek to label as radical, quarantine socially or in some way penalize any opposing conservative voices (like conservative talk-show hosts, news agencies, columnists or fellow actors like Jon Voight).

You scare me because, as we've all watched over your first 100 days in office, you can get away with all these things mentioned above, and the mainstream media and most of the public will continue to hail you as king.

You scare me because your media team will not address or diminish in any way your deification before the world, epitomized by the editor of Newsweek, who was on MSNBC's Chris Matthews' show and recently stated, "I mean, in a way Obama's standing above the country, above the world. He's sort of God." (How much scarier can it get than representative statements like that in a republic that once stood for equity among political powers and a government "by the people and for the people"?)

America, it's time to awaken from your slumber and quit looking to the government for answers, and start looking to real reputable sources. I recommend starting with Lou Pritchett's 1995 business book, "Stop Paddling & Start Rocking the Boat."[/quote]

Yeah, I saw that about 20 times during the election. Very little of it is objective and much could be argued irrelevant, such as living the "formative" years of his life in America... Obama moved back to Hawaii with his mother at age 10, and before that he was educated for a time at a Catholic grade school in Indonesia. Some of the stuff mentioned I wholeheartedly disagree with ol' Lou about, such as destroying the Appalachians in order to harvest its coal reserves and holding up the "Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks" as people any self-respecting individual wishes to be allied with (the same holes true for media figures on the left... I have more respect for used car salesmen).

So ya'll can have your American conservative Republicanism... I'll stick with Catholicism.

I agree \o/

I think the Pope should get to decide who becomes president/prime minister in a country. Colbert ftw :)

(Hm... trying to think who would become PM in .nl...)

I think that it would be good if the Pope had the power of veto in the elections of heads of state. I am pretty sure that the Pope had the power to veto the election of the Holy Roman Emperor in the past.

The only thing I have against wind and solar panels is that what happens when the sun is covered and the wind stopped.
It's a good idea for supplemental power but not to fully relly on.
I believe in Obama that he can make a bad difference on us.
So in other sweet words....








I hate him!!! :mad:

The sun isn't going to become covered for an indefinite period of time, nor will the winds stop, so that's a useless concern.

i never said we had to rely on them only, just that we should use them more. all you have to do is pay for having them put in and they pay for themselves. all with out harming the environment.

For that matter, I'll have a la carte from both sides of the menu... calling myself a Cafeteria Democrat.

All I can say to that is... at the Apocalypse, we won't be worried about power.

Wind and solar are used more extensively than you might realize and power can be stored and used at times when they aren't able to generate as much. There are many other ways we can improve our energy efficiency too, with an upgraded grid, changes in architecture and construction, incentives to get homeowners and landlords to make improvements.

Nihil Obstat

In terms of energy, I'm of the opinion that it's based far more on economics than on research and development. When alternative forms make sense money wise, they'll be developed and/or used. We use fossil fuels because at the end of the day, they're most efficient.
