Answer to Low Pritchett

My Thoughts in green after the ****s।
Please read, even if you are an Obama fan। It is legitimate, written by respected, Lou Prichett, formerly of Proctor and Gamble। Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America 's true living legends- an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management. Lou changed the way America does business by creating an audacious concept that 20 came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history. ****I read! I have relatives named Pritchett. But never heard of this Jerk, even if he was with Proctor and Gamble. That just makes him another corporate prostitute, with a big mouth and an agenda of his own. He doesn't speak for 75% of the poor and middle class people in this country. I will answer between each of his statements,
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMADear President Obama: You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the =2 0 others, you truly scare me..**Only five of the previous presidents haven't scared me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.**Sorry, you don't keep up with things, all you have been interested in is fighting everything he is for, instead of really listening to what he wanted to do.
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। **Gee whiz, did you ever wonder how other people paid for their education? My husband and I had 4 children. His parents helped, my husband worked days and went to school at night. I worked nights and did the rest, house, kids, etc. He got 4 degrees: BA, BSC, MBA, LLB/DJ, all from Ivy league schools. President Obama had a Mother who worked, Grandparents who worked and helped, as they wanted the best for him. He also worked. Who said he had an upscale lifestyle? He didn't. You might not know, but people can live on a bowl of oatmeal and a couple of sandwiches a day and make it just fine. You can live in one room with an electric hot plate. Have use of a bathroom. You can wash your clothes every night and hang them up to dry while you study. As long as you are interested in getting an education you can do anything, and it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of you th growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.**In case you didn't know, Hawaii is in America. His Mother remarried and moved to a foreign country. He went to an American school, then his Mother sent him back to live with his grandparents, until she returned to the States. Wonder what all the families that traveled to other countries when they were in the service and their children went to school outside the United States, do they not consider their kids culturally American?? I have a niece that went to school in several countries and speaks several languages and still lives outside the United States in Spain, as she married there. She has dual citizenship and still considers herself an American, votes by absentee ballot in America. Now has 2 sons which she takes to other countries every summer and teaches them other languages and cultures of other countries, which I think if absolutely wonderful. It is wonderful to be a citizen of the world in lieu of being small and close minded like a lot of us are. Plus she thinks her National Healthcare in Spain is absolutely marvelous.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.**Neither did Jesus, nor the Pope, nor any of the rulers in Europe, neither did George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and many other Presidents. But they knew what it entailed to run a country.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core। **Military experience only teaches you to kill and conquer. Being an 82 year old woman and having been a service wife, sister to 3 who was in the service and a long line of relatives who have been in all the wars in this country. 2 grandfathers and 5 great-uncles in the Civil war. 3 great uncles never returned. Where were they buried, who knows, we could never find out, it someone dug a hole for them, or they rotted where they lay and the buzzards ate them. And they others had to walk home from where they were when the war was over. We were in WW11, my cousin who my parents help raise, he was 5 years older than I. He was in the Bataan Death march and in a Japanese prison camp. They put them on the Japanese ship the Arisan Maru and was transferring them to Japan to work in the mines, the ship had a red cross on it, but guess what. She was sunk by the USS Snook on October 24, 1944, with 1800 American prisoners on board, while crossing the South China Sea, 200 miles south of the Formosa Strait. It is estimated that not more than 10 prisoners survived the sinking. His body lies at the bottom of the South China Sea. I have all his medals
etc।, with letters from MacArthur and the SOB's didn't even spell his name correct. Tried to get the government to correct it, but that was a lost effort. I could go on for days. So don't tell me about the lousy military and its CORE. What's to understand? They do not give a damn about the men after the war is over. The ones that stay in, hey it is the only life they have. Too bad. You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others**The guy that wrote this article, has no class and does not know what humility is। 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 need to be scared if you really believe this radical propaganda. You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad। **Someone needs to blame America for all its past sins, instead of trying to pawn it off on a young man who has been in office only nearly 8 months। How stupid can you get। You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector। **Hey fellow, the private sector, sent us down the sewer last year, after robbing all the people that put faith in the private sector for years। You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one। **Golly Gee! Thank God for Social Security, Medicare and what help the VA gives our Veterans, which is not enough. 50% of our Medicare is fraud perpetuated by the medical industry. I would rather be under a government controlled healthcare, than an insurance industry controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves। **Bull Manure। – If we have such vast reserves, why are we getting our Oil from the middle east। 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। **Another Bull Manure – The highest standards only for the CEOs। You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations। **Another Bull Manure। You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals। **Only the ones, who are getting kick backs from the lobbyist for the insurance companies, drug companies and various parts of the medical professionals। You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people। **All I have to say is a quote from Alexis Carrel (1873-1944) "Intelligence is almost useless to the person whose only quality it is"। You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient। **You never know, don't you think it is about time that we had someone who might come pretty close. Someone who comes from both the black and white world, who knows what it is really like to live in a world of hateful bigoted people, who is against a man for trying to ascend to the highest office in the land and made it, because many of us believed in him. Even this older than dirt white woman who was raised in the deep south. I believed because I can tell when a man is honest and will treat all people the same। Like the Maker up there who might be a different color that you are। You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do। **Who are you trying to kid। No media gives him a free pass। You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view। **If these people are who you listen to, you should be scared. They are a bunch of Republican Propoganda fear mongers. They are not conservative, they are hate mongers। You scare me because you prefer controlling over गवर्निंग । **It is about time, someone tried to control our runaway corrupt politicians and corporations। 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।**Actually, it is not a matter of being safe, you should be ashamed। You can tell how big a person is, by what it take to discourage him। I wish he could serve as long as FDR did, he might be able to halfway restart our country। Maybe a lot of the old bunch in the government and corporations would die off and we could get some fresh blood in this land। (Evelyn Connaway) Lou Pritchett
