What do you think of this letter written to 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 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'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.

Mr. Pritchett confirmed that he was indeed the author of the much-circulated "open letter." “I did write the 'you scare me' letter. I sent it to the NY Times but they never acknowledged or published it. However, it hit the internet and according to the ‘experts’ has had over 500,000 hits.

1. I like how you think. A star for you!
2. 1. GW Bush started the windmill thing. 2. Obama scares me a lot less than GW Bush did.
3. that person is an idiot
4. Sounds like a scared bigot Con. He's just scared of change. Even if it's for the good of the country. He would rather rape and pillage our land than to invest in future renewable energy.....typical con!
5. I like it!
6. i agree with almost every point and i also strongly agree that if he serves a second term i will not feel safe in this country. but then again this is the new world order, it has begun...it all started with the biggest lie of all: 9/11
7. I like it! I'm sure I'll gett a lot of TDs for that...
8. I think it's a pretty cool letter. Although, I do hope that this person did unbiased research. I don't support Obama, but I think that no one should have to have false information circulated about them.
9. That's the thing about smart old men. Straight talk and true.
10. What can I say, that sounds pretty stupid.
11. Best letter I've read in a long time. Before the term is done, I am pretty sure I'll be writing one as well. Good for Mr. Pritchett.
