    Default SNOPES: Open Email Letter to Obama True

    Did you get this email?

    http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.asp

    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 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.

    Haven't got one yet, but I'm sure I will. And I agree with it 100%.

    I have dubbed him the dark lord. Sure it's funny. But if you seriously look at him and see where he's going and what he's doing and the lack of any concrete past, you begin to see the ominous threat that is looming.

    He's the reality version of a fantasy. No magic or super powers. But a very real dark lord, who, left unchecked could some day rival hitler and stalin. And lead this country down the same road to ruin they did.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    I can't rep you, but you and I are in agreement. I never expected to agree with Obama on much, if anything, but he's so much worse than I could have imagined.

    And he's been there less than six months.

    Can't rep you Kath...owe ya.....

    Heres another I thought worth reading....
    =======
    A Retired Marine SGM Responds!!!

    (Too bad we don't have folks on Capitol Hill willing to speak out like
    this. J.D. Pendry is a retired Marine Sergeant Major who writes for
    Random House. He is eloquent, and as taught by the Marines, he seldom
    beats around the bush!)

    'The Axis of Idiots"

    Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You
    threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then
    lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy
    and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.

    Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists
    were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and
    then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and
    the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings
    emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately,
    they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.

    John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied
    about American Soldiers in Vietnam . Your military service, like your
    life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of
    terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong
    war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe
    Vietnam . You're a fake.. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the
    Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese. Iraq, like
    Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it.

    John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win
    militarily in Iraq . You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded
    murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa .
    Okinawa, John ? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are
    you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off
    building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and
    washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to
    a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace.
    Run away, John .

    Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis,
    tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot,
    who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned
    Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis
    to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord
    help us! See Dick run.

    Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu
    Ghraib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted
    you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new
    management. Did you see the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis
    demonstrated another beheading for you. If you truly supported our
    troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity
    and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support
    from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a
    bloated, drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder
    that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal
    maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide,
    gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.

    Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein,
    Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck
    Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time
    you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic
    Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is
    wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you
    give the Islamic butchers -
    the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to
    think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a
    little longer.

    It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the
    Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on
    ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.

    American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you
    publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence
    gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of
    camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers.
    You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help
    Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us
    than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire
    your Pulitzer.

    You are America 's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will
    destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops
    are more important to you than our national security or the lives of
    innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending
    ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your
    ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on
    the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics
    will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam . If you
    want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try
    supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims
    and aiding our enemies. Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your
    loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air
    that decent Americans could be breathing.

    You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You
    need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the
    people who have the will to see it through and the country to people
    who are willing to defend it.

    Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the
    outside and those who attempt it from within.

    Semper Fi,

    J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired
