"WE NOTICED"
President Obama:
Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.........
During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.
YES, "We noticed."
During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended to visit all 57 states.
We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.
YES, "We noticed."
When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.
YES, "We noticed."
Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.
YES, "We noticed."
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that 9/11 was " America 's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.
YES, "We noticed."
When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.
YES, "We noticed."
All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her traditions.
YES, "We noticed."
You are 9 months into your term and eve ry morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.
YES, "We noticed."
We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled "un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.
YES, "We noticed."
On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.
And YES, "We noticed."
There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11.
You have failed us.
YES, "We noticed."
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace.
YES, "We noticed."
You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.
YES, "We noticed.."
We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office.
Take notice.

I did this because the Democrats were running a man who is unqualified by credentials (10 minutes in the U.S. Senate) for the highest office in the land and the Republicans were running a criminal for president and a kook for vice president.
Never has the country had such poor choices as we had in 2008. Until you consider whom we will probably have in 2012. If those two choices are President Obama and Governor Palin, I can assure you that Mrs. Hacketts' dream will become her nightmare as President Obama wins a whopping landslide the likes of which have not been seen since Ronald Reagan ran against Walter Mondull in 1984.
You can always count on the Republicans to do the stupid thing (like running Dole against Clinton in 1994). But mark my words, run that crazy Palin woman and you'll insure a comfortable 8 year run for President Obama.
And just for the record, while I consider President Obama to be a nice affable man, I also consider his first year in office to nothing short of complete do-nothingness. This president is so AWOL from the real issues facing America that it's almost an embarrassment.11-04-09 07:59 PMLike 0 -
Every now and then you wonder if we shouldn't adopt the British system with a Prime Minister where the party in power can remove the Prime Minister with a no confidence vote. It's not easy to do but it's a lot easier than our system where if you make a mistake and elect a baffoon the only way you can get rid of him short of running his term out is to impeach him and that requires that he commit a major crime while in office.11-04-09 09:29 PMLike 0 -

The majority of the 56.8% voter turnout voted for him.
Not the majority of the American people.11-05-09 02:26 AMLike 0 -
