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

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.

And the follow up:

In April 2009, I sent President Obama and the New York Times a letter titled "You Scare Me" because, as a candidate, he promised to "fundamentally transform America." Now, after observing his performance for over three years, he no longer scares me — he terrifies me for the following reasons:

FIRST-- He has done more to damage America's standing in the world, to lower the standard of living in America, to impoverish future generations and to shake our faith in the country's future than any other American president in history.

SECOND-- With a compliant Democrat congress, a lapdog media and a weak, almost nonexistent Republican opposition, he has shattered the American dream of job security, home ownership and rugged individualism for millions of Americans and has poisoned and divided our civil society with his politics of envy, class warfare, race warfare, and religious warfare which he is using as fundamental building blocks for his 'socialist' agenda.

THIRD-- culturally, he remains totally out of touch with traditional American values. This has absolutely nothing to do with race or where he was born, rather it has everything to do with where, how and with whom he was raised, schooled, educated, trained and associates with still today.

FOURTH-- he has surrounded himself with naive academicians, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats and socialist leaning czars who arrogantly think and behave exactly as he does. People who offer no balanced suggestions or devils advocate positions and think in lock step with him that big government is the answer to all our problems.

FIFTH-- he not only encourages but aids and abets the unionization of all American industry, the albatross around the neck of the free market. In turn, they provide the money and muscle to intimidate his opponents.

SIXTH-- he has increased the national debt by over 30% in just three years. If re-elected and this rate of increase continues, America will be burdened with an unsustainable 20 trillion dollar debt which will result in the Country's financial death. Recovery will be impossible ---- America will be the Greece of 2016.

SEVENTH-- given his fanatical beholding to the 'environmental' and 'man-caused global warming' fringe, he has deliberately discouraged U.S. fossil fuel exploration and production while wasting millions of tax payer dollars on solar, wind and algae experiments. He refuses to accept that oil, gas and coal are not America's enemies, they are America's assets which, properly managed, could make us energy independent within a generation.

EIGHTH-- He views the U.S. as a power in retreat which abused its World dominance. Therefore he systematically apologizes round the world. Last March he whispered to Russian President Medvedev "--this is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility". Just what is the secret that Obama and Putin are concealing from the American people until after the election? With what other leaders has he made similar secret agreements?

NINTH---and finally, after all his mis-steps, bad decision making, poor management, and zero leadership, the fact that he has the audacity to seek re-election should terrify every American. I predict that if re-elected, future historians and political interpreters will look back at the eight year period 2008-2016, and conclude "the 44th President of the U.S. allowed the takers to overpower the payers which resulted in the greatest economy in history vanishing from the face of the Earth".

Farewell America, the World will really miss you!

Teamail certification. :lol:

[tvd]

Copied off of Snopes. True words written.

[Grog]

Yeah, Snopes verified that it was correctly attributed to the author.

That means what?

[tvd]

As I said, true words written.

Every bit of it is absolutely true.

(Regardless of whether you label it Teamail)

Still true.

[Grog]

No. It's largely opinion and questionable "facts" twisted to suit that opinion.

[tvd]

And by the way, just so you know,
I was searching for "bunking vs. debunking" the facts regarding Elk's assertion that the unemployment numbers regarding the people leaving the workforce has been debunked.

In true internet search fashion, I came across the Snopes published letter.

I read the whole thing, couldn't agree more, knew it was up on here before, and cut and pasted it back up here.

Half way down the text on Snopes, there is a pop up ad...I guess it is Google ad services...I don't know.
It is in a small two by two frame in my browser, IE 11, for sure.
But as I cut and pasted the text, the C&P process picked up just the text "Report ad" etc as you so adeptly noticed and ridiculed.
Good job. Instead of commenting on the content and ideas expressed in the text, you focus on words that were inadvertently stuck in there by the C&P process and decide to divert by throwing out the teamail insult.

Good job.

[Grog]

I have commented. It's largely an opinion piece from a typically disgruntled, angry and fearful conservative.

That's why it appeals to you people and you in particular.

[Intrepid]

Grog tries and fails yet again.
In any case, your opinion, like your home country is insignificant and doesn't matter, canuck.

Juden raus!

[tvd]

There are twenty sentences that begin with "You scare me..."

You say not true, then go down sentence by sentence and point out to me which sentence is false.

[Grog]

"You scare me..."

THAT is opinion. He is expressing his FEELINGS. His OPINION. That's one of the many, many, MANY problems with "modern" conservatives: You have no ability to distinguish between fact and opinion. You agree with the OPINIONS in the above, so you in your mind they're true.

They're not. That's not how reality works.

[johnforbes]

If Left Wing alcoholics scared anybody, Grog would scare us all.

[Grog]

I think that one needs a self-C&P. What do you think, Forbes? :lol:

[sillydaddy]

Well Grog....That's your opinion..and not necessarily a fact. :lol: :lol:

[RealJustme]

Good post about Obama, spot on!

[Grog]

No, Silly. It's not my opinion. TVD's C&P of a letter written in May of 2009 is an opinion piece.

It's from a fearful and angry (is there any other kind?) conservative.

The first one he he starts with You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you is nothing but birtherism. And then it goes downhill from there. :lol:

[RealJustme]

It's not my opinion. TVD's C&P of a letter written in May of 2009 is an opinion piece

So Grog it's not your opinion that it's an opinion piece? :? What gives you that non opinion?

[Grog]

It's an opinion piece because the author is expressing his opinions.

It's not a reportage of facts. It's a list of opinions.

I know that's difficult for a conservative to grasp.

But it it is what is: An opinion piece.

[johnforbes]

With the ruin of what once was journalism now readily apparent, there is no distinction between "reporting" and "opinion."

Look at CNN's sloppy procedures, reading tweets on air and actually changing votes from Carson to Cruz.


Postscript:

If Left Wing alcoholics scared anybody, Grog would scare us all.

[elklindo69]

Forbes is bringing out his inner Rubio...

C&P

C&P

C&P

[RealJustme]

It's an opinion piece because the author is expressing his opinions.

It's not a reportage of facts. It's a list of opinions.

You got any facts to base your opinion on?

[Grog]

Barack Obama is President of the United States. -Fact

Barack Obama is a great President of the United States. -Opinion

Barack Obama is a terrible President of the United States. -Opinion


Starting to get a clue, JustFreedManInterpidMe?

[elklindo69]

It's an opinion piece because the author is expressing his opinions.

It's not a reportage of facts. It's a list of opinions.

You got any facts to base your opinion on?

Ditch diggers are geniuses when compared to Justme/Intrepid.

:lol:

[RealJustme]

Grog, you still haven't given us any facts to support your opinion.

[Grog]

I was pretty sure you wouldn't understand it. lol

Burning your Intrepid nick really left a mark on yourself. Oh, well, I'm sure you've got many others. :lol:

[sillydaddy]

Barack Obama is a Muslim -fact :lol:

[tvd]

My C&P of this so-called opinion piece written in 2009 per Grog....

The guy's opinion must have had some psychic assistance because 7 years later all 20 points are true.

Again, go thru all twenty sentences, point out what is false.

I am interested to know from your viewpoint what is false, and why.

[Grog]

I've already done that with the first one (scroll back up) which I noted was fear-mongering birtherism.

I've also noted that they are opinions. They are correct and true for you people. Not for the real world.

Your brother simple Silly says Obama is a Muslim. He is not a Muslim except in Fox Nation where belief and emotion (almost always fear and anger) trump all else.

What's next, do you want to discuss Megyn Kelly's "factual" assertion that both Jesus the Christ and Santa are white? :lol:

[tvd]

Kelly is not the president.

Kelly doesn't drive the direction of the USA.

Kelly could do a better job than Obama has.

[Grog]

Kelly drives the direction of conservative 'Mericans five nights a week.

I'm sure you believe she could do a better job. After all she's certain that both Santa and Jesus the Christ are white guys. :lol:

[RealJustme]

[quoteI'm sure you believe she could do a better job. After all she's certain that both Santa and Jesus the Christ are white guys][/quote]

No one really knows if there really is a Santa Claus so how can one claim he's white or black? But Jesus is white.

[sillydaddy]

Barack Obama is a Muslim -fact :lol:

Everyone of his ardent supporters comes to his defense on this one and say he is not....

But has he himself ever deny it?

“I will stand with the Muslims, should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”

-Barack Obama in “Audacity of Hope”

[Grog]

Is anyone surprised that JustFreedManIntrepidMe isn't sure if there's a Santa or not? lol

Good work, Silly! Now you need to comb through your Teamails for Obama's REAL birth certificate. :lol:

[johnforbes]

It is my opinion that Grog is a Left Wing thinker, but mainstream alcoholic.

It is also a fact.

But I have some sympathy given my own addiction to fat-free Cool Whip as a topping for frozen yogurt.

[Grog]

I'm sure that's not the only thing you use topping for, Forbes. lol

You probably also use it to dress up your little "Santa" for JustFreedManIntrepidMe when you boys are Skying. :lol:

[johnforbes]
