Don't remember this being posted, so thought I would. It has been confirmed that Mr. Pritchett did in fact write this letter.

Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America 's true living legends - He is an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management. Before his retirement, Lou changed the way America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.

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.

Lou Pritchett

Mr. Pritchett, You are a Great American.

Thanks for sharing KeithB. He has put into words what many Americans already think, and even more Americans are coming to realize....very quickly.

A GREAT letter!!!

Unfortunately even if Osama, er I mean Obama , reads it he will change nothing as Mr. Pritchett is beneath the Messiah and is not worthy of The Chosen One's time and effort. Mr. Pritchett is just the run of the mill American and means nothing to that guy that lives in the White House.

I stopped taking this seriously when he got to here.

"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.."

The stuff about not Growing up in America lets look at it real quick
Born 1961-1966 lived and Born in America
1966-1970 Indonesia
1971-Now America with vists outside the country for short amounts of time.
So he lived outside of America for 4 years? Does that not count as growing up in America?

Having not served in the Military, that doesnt matter. John Kerry and Al Gore both served in the Military, did that make a difference?

Also the Windmills crack aka Using alternate non-fossil fuel Oh Noes that would...make sense. Didnt McCain say we should use Nuclear Power? Thats not a fossil fuel.

There were quite a accurate comments as well. Just those 3 really stuck out to me.

It should matter as he is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. He is the boss. How would you feel if your boss did not have any experience in your field? Would you feel comfortable following orders from him knowing he has never done it before and does not know a thing about it? My guess is you would not like to be told to do something from somebody that has no real world experience and would not take to kindly to it.

Isnt that why we have the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Incase 1. The President isnt a Military guy 2. They would be the experts on what the military can do and could advise the President. As far as I know Obama doesnt point to a Hill and say "Charge" 3. We arent a country RUN by the Military (and thank god for that) This isnt Pakistan.
As for REAL WORLD experience
George W Bush served Stateside during Vietnam.
Ronald Reagan served Stateside during WW2

though JFK, John Kerry, Al Gore, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter all had Military backgrounds

The joint chiefs are there to advise the president not tell him what to do. If the president does not agree he will do what he wants. If the joint chiefs advise him that going into or staying out of a country is not the best thing to do but he wants to do it for his political agenda he will.

No we are not a country run by the Military we are a country that is PROTECTED by the military. And as for W, Reagan and Lincoln...they served and that counts.

Edit-thanks Markswivel. I stand corrected:
Reagan made war movies. Lincoln served for a few months and didn't see combat. Jefferson was not in the military.


Carter was.

I feel sorry for our fine men and women serving in our Military.

They wouldn't be there if they didn't love The United States of America which is
sharp contrast to obuma who clearly hates everything about America and what it stands for.

Here's a little something I'd like to share....

DO YOU WANT TO SEE

A "CLASS ACT????"

A doctor had his TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings of Fort Hood came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there.

He called her into his office and as he told her what had happened, she got a text

message from her husband saying, "I am okay." Her cell phone rang right after

she read the message. It was an ER nurse, "I'm the one who just sent you a text,

not your husband. I thought it would be comforting but I was mistaken in doing so.

I'm so sorry to tell you this, but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery."

The soldier's wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan, Alabama and drove all night to Ft.Hood. When she arrived she found out her husband was out of surgery and would

be OK. She rushed to his room and found that he already had visitors there to comfort him. Her husband was just waking up and found his wife and the visitors by his side.

The nurse took this following picture:




What? No news crews or cameras? This is how people with class respond and pay
respect to those in uniform. Mr. Bush Asked to Visit The Ft.Hood Wounded Soldiers...

Where was Obama????? THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! The fact George W. Bush heard

about Fort Hood, got into his car without any escort, apparently they did not have time to

react, and drove to Fort Hood. (Do you miss him yet???)

He was stopped at the gate and the guard could not believe who he had just stopped. Mr. Bush only ask for directions to the hospital then drove on. The gate guard called "Main Base Headquarters" and reported, "The president Is at Fort Hood and driving to the hospital."

The base went bananas looking for Obama. When they found out it was Mr. Bush
they immediately offered escort and Mr. Bush simply told them to keep his visit quiet and let him see the wounded and the dependents of the dead. (Do you miss him yet???)
He stayed at Fort Hood for over six hours and was finally asked to leave by a message from the White House. (Can you believe this?) Obama flew to Fort Hood a few days later and held a "photo" session in a gym; and did not even go to the hospital! All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened to be at Fort Hood when it happened.
This Bush/Obama/Ft.Hood story is something that should be sent to every voter in

the United States of America.

On the flip side, it wasn't Obama that sent them to Iraq now was it?
