Yes, we noticed

[hoppy]

This was attributed to Buddy Hackett's wife Sherry Hackett. However, Sherry died in 2007. It was actually written and distributed via emails by Faye Parrish. I find it pretty much dead on.

President Obama:

Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as

a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.

During your campaign, Americans watched as you made a mockery of our

tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance

was spoken.. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not

honoring our tradition.

YES, "We noticed."

During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you

intended to visit all 57 states.

We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.

YES, "We noticed."

When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a

flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto

the pile without leaning over.

YES, "We noticed."

Every time you apologized to other countries for America's position on

an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great

country.. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and

our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the

British Crown beyond belief. And, you even bowed before the Saudi king

YES, "We noticed."

When your pastor of 20 years "God-damned America " and said that

9/11 was " America 's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied

having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could

be, after attending that church for 20 years. You later disassociated

yourself from that church and Pastor

Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.

YES, "We noticed."

When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered

why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth.

Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built

her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your

election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from

Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a

very remarkable one.

YES, "We noticed."

All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded

yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the

positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority

of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or

affection for this country and her traditions.

YES, "We noticed."

You are almost 15 months into your term and every morning millions of

Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to

saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package

that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.

YES, "We noticed."

We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not

in favor of these crippling expenditures, and we are labeled

"un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let

you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem

isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right

to speak out.

YES, "We noticed."

On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only

Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in

whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are

Americans.

And YES, "We noticed."

There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could

help unite this nation. In your short tenure in office you have done more

to destroy

this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.

YES, "We noticed."

September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You

propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you

don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report

your proposal as what it is, a disgrace.

YES, "We noticed."

You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that

you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits

and policy..

YES, "We noticed."

When you denied a military flyover at the annual "God and Country" rally

in Idaho, where new military recruits were inducted, and all military were

honored, that was the first time in 42 years that a military flyover did

not occur. When the organizers contacted the Pentagon to ask why this was

not allowed, they were told that it was because the event was of a

"Christian nature".

Yes, we noticed.

We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans

come together again, it will be to remove you from office.

I think we should have one national holiday that we take a day off for- the fourth of july



We built a new grade school here this past year and so started later then normal. To make up the days, the kids went to school and learned about what our nation was celebrating on all the various 'days' we as a nation feel compelled to have.



As for Obama and this absurd notion of having Americans all working on a day terrorists tried to bring our capitalist nation to its knees........ why is this a bad thing again? Why is working NOT the best tribute to those who died that day? Why shouldn't my child be in school learning about what happened that day?



At some point, rational folks need to stop and think these things through rather then simply going off on an idea because of who suggests it.

What say you to this then?

JOHN BRENNAN (assistant to the president for homeland security and counter-terrorism): Our enemy is not "terrorism" because terrorism is but a tactic. Our enemy is not "terror" because terror is a state of mind. And as Americans we refuse to live in fear. Nor do we describe our enemy as "jihadists" or "Islamists" because, ji'hahd, is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Is'lam, meaning "to purify one's self or one's community" and there is nothing "holy" or "legitimate" or "Islamic" about murdering innocent men, women and children. We have never been and will never be at war with Is'lam. After all, Is'lam, like so many faiths, is part of America.

If this is true then why did George Bush Jnr state several time that the US was in a war against Islam?

What exactly did you notice and what have you deducted from it?
