AN OPEN LETTER FROM A PROCTER  AND GAMBLE EXECUTIVE TO THE PRESIDENT
  
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.
