AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
By Lou Pritchett
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'Relllys 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.

I was hoping to find something over the top so I could make a quip, but there's not one there.
Media is changing up their softball pitches and the President's getting pissed. I wonder if they will fall back in line.
As for Obama. Quit watching what he's doing and look at what he's not talking about. While he's dancing around talking about the riots in Iran as if it were a minor irritant mucking with his carefully scripted plan, telling reporters what questions to ask him, and showing prime time infomercials about his next big power grab, Congress is fixing to vote on cap & trade. Hear anything about THAT on TV??

You know I don't understand americans. You had a president. who lied to the country to convince you to go to war against a country that hadn't attacked you letting the real culprits get off scot free, persuaded you to do away with the fundamental right any free citizen should care about-specifically the right not to be arrested without getting a trial, allowed the torture of prisoners has killed 3,000+ soldiers and maimed thousands more antagonised most of your allies bankrupted the economy and came pretty close in to turning america in to a fascist state and you think Obama is a problem? Why didn't you think bush was?

Is he getting pissed ?
I heard him say I have a job to do and Im doing it.
Even if he is pissed so what ?
People like McCain who think we should let em have it with harsh verbage :rolleyes: have not thought the intricasies of the situation all the way through.
Hes not dancing, hes working behind the scenes and its probable mouthing off would only exacerbate a volatile country teetering on the fence. Tell me anything we say would make an anthill of a difference ! Its in our best interest to just shut up.
Anyway arent you the one always talking about not being involved in foreign affairs ?

Obama came to London for the G20 summit and i've seen more life in a snail on prosaic. When asked a qestion on European football he replied that he couldn't answer as he wasn't expecting the qestion and hadn't been briefed.
And there America.... lies your problem.

Probably bugger all but i'm quite confident that if America was playing in an extremely crucial and much publised match on the day of his visit, he would have the brains to anticipate a question on it.

I'm not a football fan I wouldn't be able to answer such a question either. Come to that you wouldn't think it odd if he knew nothing about cricket (most normal people don't) so what's the difference.

Look Sporran..... your missing the whole point of what i said about the football. It was not so much that he didn't know England was playing that night but that everything he did say throughout the G20 summit was scripted for him and he was briefed prior.
Anyway, I know all about cricket and i'm normal.

I love this! A prosaic snail! Brilliant! I think you mean Prozac but I just love the mental image of a prosaic snail. :wah:
Back to the point though and it's an interesting one. In the lead up to his election Obama always appeared to have a finger in every pie. He appeared to know about issues and had his own opinion about them. He came across as highly intelligent and not in need of spin-doctoring. So is this just one small item that didn't catch his attention or does he, like all the others, have spin-doctors telling him what to say and do and, if so, why are they so hidden and not apparent as every other Presidents spin-doctors are? Is this a way to attempt to reassure the general public or are the American government trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes? :sneaky:

I haven't seen one around for some time, Oscar - fluffy loo reading.. and if you ran out of bograg....
As for the G20 summit, maybe there were weightier issues on the mind of the President of the United States of America at that time and on his minders' minds.

I'm sorry Pam but the British press reported his lack of animation also. I really did believe there were going to be an awful lot of dissapointed folk in America when the 'New Messiah' fizzled out into a wet lettuce that ran a campaign on brilliant script writing.
Here it's different. We are used to being miserable and dissapointed infact there would have to be an enquiry should any elected politician live up to his promises or not turn out to be corrupt in some manner.

Don't tell me you hold to these daft theories that there is a secret puppet master controlling everything:-5 You might have had a case with bush not being able to think of anything to say without being told what he should say but I doubt it very much with obama.
How do you think GB would cope with a question about american football?
For years I thought the rose bowl tournament was was a championship game of bowls played on grass by american old age pensioners. I could never understand why so many would want to watch it.

some of you really needed to see last weeks special on a day in the Presidents life.
Obama starts his day at 5 am, he goes non-stop with daily meetings, etc. etc...he is allowed 10 minutes to spend with his wife....he stops around 11pm each night.
and that does not include half of what is expected of him, plus travelling to countries...........

The harsh reality for those that dont care for him is it doesnt matter much.
He was voted in by a majority of the people.
Many of us balked at the last 8 yrs but we were just kinda stuck with it.

- this is any day in a life as a President.....does no one really care?
or do some just like to complain?
honestly......has there been any president that anyone has truly liked?
-and if so, why?
do they expect Obama to know everything? shame!
the last 8 years were a huge joke..........
I believe in him and he is not my President......lets give him a chance.

That's what he's elected and paid to do.
I have more admiration for Gordon Brown and David Cameron (Brown's opposition) when after the deaths of their children, they were back at work getting on with it.

Of course their is. You don't hold to the theory that our politicians can actually think for themselves do you?

For years I thought the rose bowl tournament was was a championship game of bowls played on grass by american old age pensioners. I could never understand why so many would want to watch it. Of course their is. You don't hold to the theory that our politicians can actually think for themselves do you?

I have more admiration for Gordon Brown and David Cameron (Brown's opposition) when after the deaths of their children, they were back at work getting on with it.
yes that is his job, but he cannot know everything.......no one does.
Gordon Brown doesn't even come close to the work of a President.

Cap and Trade is up for a vote TODAY and there's nothing in the news about it at all. Obama's not talking about it except for the shortest of his speeches yesterday. The bill's over 1000 pages long and few if any of the congressmen even know what's in it. Yet Obama feels it's more important to sell his snake oil on his very own infomercial, talking about a plan that's not going to be up for a vote for months at the least.
No our taxes aren't going up, except for where they are, but our utility bills are going to double, and no one seems to give two shits.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PASSING A HISTORIC ENERGY BILL
Rose Garden
2:00 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Hey, guys. Good afternoon. Right now, the House of Representatives is moving towards a vote of historic proportions on a piece of legislation that will open the door to a new clean energy economy.
For more than three decades, we've talked about our dependence on foreign oil. And for more than three decades, we've seen that dependence grow. We've seen our reliance on fossil fuels jeopardize our national security. We've seen it pollute the air we breathe and endanger our planet. And most of all, we've seen that others countries realize a critical truth: The nation that leads in the creation of a clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the 21st century global economy.
Now is the time for the United States of America to realize this, as well. Now is the time for us to lead. The energy bill before the House will finally create a set of incentives that will spark a clean energy transformation of our economy. It will spur the development of low-carbon sources of energy -- everything from wind, solar, and geothermal power to safe nuclear energy and cleaner coal. It will spur new energy savings like the efficient windows and other materials that reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer.
And most importantly, it will make possible the creation of millions of new jobs. Now, make no mistake -- this is a jobs bill. We're already seeing why this is true in the clean energy investments we're making through the Recovery Act. In California, 3,000 people will be employed to build a new solar plant that will create 1,000 jobs. In Michigan, investments in wind turbines and wind technology is expected to create over, 2,600 jobs. In Florida, three new solar projects are expected to employ 1,400 people.
The list goes on and on, but the point is this: This legislation will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy. That will lead to the creation of new businesses and entire new industries. And that will lead to American jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced.
I've often talked about the need to build a new foundation for economic growth so that we don't return to the endless cycle of bubble and bust that has led us into this deep recession. Clean energy and the jobs it creates will be absolutely critical to that new foundation.
This legislation has also been written carefully to address the concerns that many have expressed in the past. Instead of increasing the deficit, it's paid for by the polluters who currently emit dangerous carbon emissions. It provides assistance to businesses and families as they make the gradual transition to clean energy technologies. It gives rural communities and farmers the opportunity to participate in climate solutions and generate new income. And above all, it will protect consumers from the costs of this transition so that in a decade, the price to the average American will be about the same as a postage stamp per day.
Because this legislation is so balanced and sensible, it's already attracted a remarkable coalition of consumer and environmental groups, labor and business leaders, Democrats and Republicans.
Now I urge every member of Congress -- Democrat and Republican -- to come together to support this legislation. I can't stress enough the importance of this vote. I know this is going to be a close vote, in part because of the misinformation that's out there that suggests there's somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and our economic growth. But my call to those members of Congress who are still on the fence, as well as to the American people, is this: We cannot be afraid of the future, and we can't be prisoners of the past. We've been talking about this issue for decades, and now is the time to finally act.
There's no disagreement over whether our dependence on foreign oil is endangering our security; we know it is. There's no longer a debate about whether carbon pollution is placing our planet in jeopardy; it's happening. And there's no longer a question about whether the jobs and the industries of the 21st century will be centered around clean, renewable energy. The only question is, which country will create these jobs and these industries? And I want that answer to be the United States of America. And I believe that the American people and the men and women they sent to Congress share that view.
So let's take this opportunity to come together and meet our obligations -- to our constituents, to our children, to God's creation, and to future generations. Thank you very much.

It's been 40 years; it's been 2 years. What's a few more days? Why issue over 300 pages in amendments at 3am the night before the bill's coming up for a vote?
What is the need for over 1000 pages? I just smell something underhanded in all this. If this is truly good for America, it can withstand thorough debate, especially with democrats controlling the whole show.

Well what Im really enjoying is that this man gone right to work. Im disgusted with red tape and bargaining and lobbyists interests and hold outs and this for that, addendums, revisions, congress going on holiday with work left on the table but they manage to pull off a hush hush raise for themselves right before they go.
America was discussing alternative energy and dependence on foreign oil decades ago after the 70's oil embargo. If 4 bucks a gallon last year wasnt enough of a wake up call I dont know what is.
We can become a country that produces and manufactures things again. We can become truly independent and self reliant but that takes vision.
If you always do what you always did you always get what you always got.
We can get the hell out of the Middle East and theyre free to bludgeon themselves into oblivion. Our interests should be home grown right now.
We need some good old fashioned innovation and fresh thinking. We have damage control to contend with, infrastructure repairs, maintenance. We need to rally and teach by example. I dont think hes a God or an icon Rick, Ive questioned a couple of his moves but hes got some good people advising him on some awesome responsibilities.
Im thinking outside the box and ahead to a better future for our country. Visionaries know how to get things done. Hes cutting through the bullshit with a mega bullshit laser.
I like that.
