A letter to Obama...... (I think it's pretty awesome myself)?
April 17, 2009
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Mr. Obama:
I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on
your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an
adequate representative of the United States of America collectively
or of me personally.
You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America. You are responsible to the citizens of the United States. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other
country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the
United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care
about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First
World War and the Second World War were all about if not the
consideration of the peoples of Europe? Are you brain dead? What do
you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or
know the history of the 20th century?
Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States
does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the
Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States?
This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles
governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly
from this heritage. Do you not understand this?
Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia. You don’t show Great Britain, our best and one
of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the
king of Saudi Arabia. How dare you, sir! How dare you!
You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation
because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a
mosque in Turkey. You offended our dead and every veteran when you
give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you?
I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have
the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be
ashamed of yourselves, all of you.
You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the
American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real
thieves in this situation, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.
To make matter worse, you call the Dow Jones averages just a "tracking poll" while most retired workers in this country whose life savings are invested there must swallow the loss of half of what they spent a lifetime saving for their final days!
It was an obscene remark and one that clearly shows your lack of understanding for the economic situation you are making worse every day. Nobody has given them a few more dollars in their paychecks.....what a joke!
What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members – on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that?
I surely didn’t!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210
million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million
more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives
have already been awarded $51 million – not a bad take. Who
authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this
group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right
now.
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not
caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing
and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want
you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and
say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you
that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to
spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
Sincerely,
Every real American
I don't know who wrote this, but WAY TO GO!!!!
I'm in 100% agreement with you!
Edit:
Marcia B- not my letter, I didn't write it.
If I wanted a blog I'd get one. I just happen to agree with what this man/woman said & wanted to share. No one made you read it.
Edit:
Romare, "Left Behind" Are you SERIOUSLY comparing Obama to God??? Left Behind is a book series about God and those who didn't believe in him were 'left behind' If you are...you're a sick sick deluded person
Edit:
Proud_Army_Wife
I have a life, and for now I have a job. I don't have to GTFO with anything. For now at least, this is a FREE country with FREEDOM of speech..something you should actually know about since you are a 'proud army wife' and your husband gives his life to protect that. Don't like it? Tough crap!
EDIT:
W8TNGPA, just becuz someone doesn't like Obama, it doesn't make them a racist. I don't care if the President is white, black, purple,or green.
EDIT:
ricky g....If you read it all , you would see where I wrote I didn't write the letter. I just happen to agree with it.

Very well worded. This is a perfect illustration of how a large portion of the American public feels, they just don't have the eloquence or time to sit down and write something as comprehensive as that. The only things left out are the facts that terrorists are no longer called terrorists, terrorist acts are now called "man made disasters" and the democrats have labeled practically anyone who doesn't agree with all of their socialist ideals "Right Wing Extremists". What a joke.
The problem is now that you have posted this letter, you have been added to the "Right-Wing Extremist" watch list and will have all of your phone calls tapped, your emails traced, you are now a racist for not agreeing with Mr. Obama, and you will be followed by the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. where ever you go. Be prepared for Janet Napalatano to have you arrested and thrown into a local jail until you are "re-educated" in the liberal doctrine the so called president and his cohorts adhere to.
I only hope there are more people out there like your self who aren't afraid to voice their opinion and stand up for what they believe is right.
Keep up the good fight and it wont be long until Mr. Obama and his despicable arrogance, Anit-American sentiment and his socialistic value system and beliefs are sent packing from the White House and Washington D.C. for good. 2012 cant come soon enough!!
Let's just wait and see how many people on here now label you as a racist for not agreeing with the "First Black President". I think its more like the "First non-citizen, Muslim, Anti-American, Anti-Wealth, Pro-Redistribution and Black President".
To the loosers who have nothing more to add than to call people racists for not agreeing with your messiah; If you have nothing intelligent to add to this post, please do us all a favor and smash your computer with the nearest hard object and spare us the same ol b.s. you spew about being racist. It has nothing to do with that, so get over it. Dont worry about the cost of the pc, the government will soon inact a new policy of "1 pc for every person" and you will be reimbursed.
(By the way, I am an Hispanic American, with bi-racial parents so racism has no place with me, or many other Americans who cant stand Mr. Obama's policies and partisinship)

Uh, you DO realize you're in the tiny minority; most Americans are happy with Obama.
Uh, what did you find objectionable during his overseas trips? That he expressed interest in dealing with other nations in a non-Mad Cowboy, bullying, brutal way of threatening everyone all the time?
The US DOES have obligations to others. But the letter is babbling about appeasement -- what appeasement? Abdication? Are you under the delusion that he hasn't been doing gabunches of things, at unbelievable speeds?
Bush WAS arrogant. WWII was over 60 years ago. Our deregulation of our economy led to worldwide economic decline. Why do you hate truth?
The US is NOT a theocracy. Read the First Amendment to the Constitution. Citizens are not forced to be Christians; many of us aren't. Our government was founded on liberal principles, and philosophers such as John Locke, not the Bible.
What lack of respect to England?
What evidence do you have that anyone mentioned were thieves? Or do you just like when people lie about people?
The DOW IS just a tracking poll. It's based on only about 30 companies, not a comprehensive list of all companies. And it started plummeting before Obama was sworn in. It goes up and down all the time; you shouldn't get hysterical every time it does what it always does, which is end either up or down.
He's fully aware of people's losses, and is working to reduce the amount of suffering of us all, by stimulating recovery. If you've never heard his express compassion for the hardships people are facing, you haven't been listening, or you don't understand plain English.
The President doesn't set Congressional salaries.
When the economy recovers, and pro-union legislation put through, every worker will benefit.
Whoever wrote this is a deluded moron. They THINK they speak for most Americans; but most Americans approve of most of what Obama's been doing. Bush talked to us (the rare times he did) as though we were brain-damaged 5 year olds. This idiot clearly prefers that to being talked to like we're intelligent grown-ups.
Stop insulting other members, or you'll be banned from this site.

It's far too long to be sent to Obama. Send it to Congress members and others who get a less letters. Congress probably wont read it either. Also try and be more of an individual "Ever real American"? You don't represent the whole country, if you did everything would be good to you.
Also I don't see any constructive behavior here. Your attacks make you appear a Bush supporter. Abusive behavior is not passionate, it makes you less respected. You should depend on your facts and being civil. Your behavior represents what the world hates about us in policy's.
We are not a Christian nation. The intention was that America not be influenced by religious activity. If we are a Christian nation then we are influenced by religious activity. (I know we are influenced by religious activity, but key word here is "intent", religion influence should not be this way.) Just because we go to church most Sundays, does not mean all your neighbors do.
Obama is trying to make us seem a respectable nation with what he is doing, such as bowing(which is a bit much, and he probably thought so later). He is trying diplomatics. The Queen loved the Obama's, so why are you complaining about that?
Overall, realize being a civil person who puts passion in factual words rather than empty obscenity will get more attention. You never heard a great speech say "I had it with you!!".
Oh and where were all you people the first FOUR YEARS bush was in office? That just makes no sense to me how Obama has been attacked for his first 4 months, as much as Bush was in 8 years.
Oh and I said they probably wont read it, because unfortunately you know you aren't the only one sending a letter. The longer it is the more the chance it will simply be overlooked in a pressing time for those who are pre reading it.
GIVE IT UP! you did write and want a sort of un-biased audience or somehting to you. :) lol

Damn!
This is embarrassing, shows JUST the kind of person you are to be Amused by it!

Stop spreading foolishness lady!

You do know that Obama has no control over what Congress raises and bonuses are given? Bush kissed the Saudi king, were you affronted then? The housing situation is very complex--yes there were serious problems at Fannie and Freddie but there is a lot more to the story. The AIG bonuses averaged much more per person than the bonuses at the others, none of which should be given BTW.
I also love our beautiful country. I still believe that Obama is the best chance for us to dig ourselves out of this mess, restore our reputation in the rest of the world, and only partake in war activities where it makes sense and is backed by real evidence, not trumped up evidence.

Whoever wrote this deserves a medal or something. I totally disagree with that Obama is doing so far in office. Whoever wrote this left out Obama's 50million dollar bonus I think, I didn't read the whole thing but whatever. I'm surprised that Obama's lasted this long in office without an assasination attempt. George Bush made this country bad, but Obama's ******* it up even worse.

Message to Romare:
(Quoting Barack) "Sweety", you're rambling on. You're talking in circles, what hole have you been in for the past 100 days?
He has done nothing to improve this country.
Taxes have went up, unemployment is plumitting, etc.
The only good Obama has done, is Unite millions of Americans for one reason: They're sick of this illiterate loser ruining the image of this country.
It's time people of other races put their racism aside and realize, the "First Black "Prez" " is a Joke and has failed miserably beyond belief.

I can't stress how important it is to be respectful to Britain. They've been our friend for centuries and they are one of our greatest allies... the sacrifices they've made for us merit respect.
I could go on, and on.
I understand that change takes time to effect but I'm disappointed with Obama and so are many others.
