I read an interesting letter that a gentleman wrote as an open letter to President Obama. The man who wrote the letter is a well respected business man who is a high level executive with Proctor and Gamble if I'm not mistaken. I asked my friend for a copy to have with me, but we both forgot. I will try to summarize the letter with this blog. I cannot fit it all in here, but I will hit the high points.
The letter was basically a wake up call to America and Obama about the state of our union and how quickly we can let things slip past us. I am concerned about my family, and about what we call "the American way of life". It seems that if we do not wake up and pay attention, then we "will all lose the freedoms that our founding fathers deemed a right not a privilege. The letter was about all of the things that scare the author in regards to Obama.
I'm scared because we don't know how you paid for your Ivy League education. I'm scared because you spent most of your formative years with people that do agree with the American way of life and could be called extremists. I am scared because members of your own political party will not stand up to you and your carefree spending. I am scared because you follow the "it's all America's fault" way of thinking, and you broadcast that overseas as well. I'm scared because you have no military training or any idea what it takes to run and lead a military force. I am scared because you have never had employees or had to lead a business. I am scared that you are trying to turn our country into a model of the European countries."
All of these are completely valid points. I am scared as well. I am worried that we are letting a man whose ideals are so far away from the way we should live our lives run our country and change our ideals and morals. I do not want that. I want a person to lead our country back to the greatness that we have had in the past.
What do we really know about the leader of our country? Do we know how he paid for his education? Why did he never show his birth certificate? Why did we allow him to not show his birth certificate? Why do we continue to put on a happy face and not balk at some of his ideas? We are living in a time that is filled with worry about the economy and war and we are so buried in our own misery that we are not seeing the big picture.
Obama was raised by his white grandmother in Hawaii, and yet he denies that part of his heritage each time he is called "African American". He is, just like most of us, a mix of races and cultures. If he were any sort of real man, he would honor all aspects of his heritage. Unfortunatly he chose to ride the race coat tails into the biggest house on the block.
And since he lives in the biggest house on the block, he should be proud to be an American. He should be proud that he lives in the best country in the world. He should be telling people, especially over seas, that we are a strong and proud country. Instead, he touts the same rhetoric that others are spreading about us. That we are weak willed and weak minded is not very positive. Anything bad that happened in a different country is our fault. He has been using that since he was elected. But there are very few that have reported what he does and what he says in an accurate manner. The media is so busy considering the activities of the Gosselins and their eight kids that they just don't have the time to report what our President is doing. Apparently, gossip is more important than the way our country is being run.
Be aware of what is being said by our President and not said by the media. Do not take for granted that he has our best interest in mind. We bought a car maker, yet not one of us will receive a check or new car because of it. Watch where and how much of your money is being spent on crap programs and things that don't matter or are detrimental. Speak your mind while you can. We may not have that right much longer.
