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 destroy America.
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.

He's worse than any boogie man I've seen in all my years!
Ugh!
Lou, you'd better be careful and take care now! You could be in for some chi-town payback.
You and I are about the same age, and I share each one of your concerns. I will add one: my president, you have no idea what a motor car means to the average 16 year old. I have been to Oahu, New York City, Boston and Chicago, and I know that one can get by in any of these places without owning a car. I hope that the short time you spent in California gave you a clue about the need my Americans have for a car, and I don’t mean a “:Smart Car.†And I will tell you, having lived in Europe as well, that I know that most Europeans gladly pay $7.00 a gallon for gas to drive their cars, even though they have public transportation system that are nonpareil. They symbolize the personal liberty that we all cherish.
So - why is this non American driving America?
The car thing really hits the nail on the head. Obama does not understand the importance of the American muscle car and cars in general to the freedoms that make up America
Obama really doesn’t know how ordinary Americans feel or think. Look at the places he has lived. To him Ohio is a foreign country.

[. . .This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.
Big surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now.']
Bump for truth!
