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 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.


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.

Lou Pritchett

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it. Big surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now

Too bad half of it is good, honest criticism...and half of it is neo-con crap.

Both parties are traitors.

Sorry, my earlier was a bit non-explanatory. Let me change that...

AN OPEN LETTER TO

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.


Fair enough...

About his life, or his views? Life, we know more than enough. Views? Whatever the polls tell him...

Quote:

Umm, both Columbia and Harvard are known for scholarships. I got scholarships and grants for college. Don't knock 'em.

Neo con bullshit. He spent some years overseas. WHO CARES. Culturally I think GWB is a piece of uneducated trash. Eh.

Quote:
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.


Now here, I begin to agree. Real world experience (i.e. outside of academia and community groups) is important.

Quote:

You will NEVER convince me that you must be a veteran to be president. Starship Troopers, anybody?

Quote:
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.


Yup. It's the democratic way, these days. I'll agree with the blame game criticism.

Quote:

He absolutely should have denounced those idiots. Not because of them speaking their mind...they are certainly allowed to do so...but because your company reflects on you, and he's hanging with idiots.

Quote:

Fair enough. We need a strong world presence.

Quote:

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.


Now here, I'm in total agreement and it gets to the heart of the matter on both points.

No problem here, except I have no problem with renewable sources of energy. Nothing wrong with green...I just think it's foolish to try to depend entirely on them.

Quote:
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.


Actually, he's quite the opposite. Which is a problem. All he wants to do is listen, and we need a decisive leader right now.

Quote:

I would just say he's out of touch...

Quote:
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.


Absolutely. He's a media darling, and it's obnoxious as hell.

Quote:

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.


Hell, half of those terrify me.

Quote:

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.


I'll go along with that.

Ok, counting them up...

I'm far more in agreement with the "letter" than in disagreement. I'm just an equal opportunity cynic.

I maintain that both parties are traitors. :(
