Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 1:04 pm Post subject: Wow what a letter |
|
|
I recieved this on email, and thought I would pass it on without the email addreses.If you want it on email to pass on give me a PM. This teacher is fantastic.
I wonder how many times this woman has been reported to the Jackboots at the Whitehouse.....
WOW....WHAT A LETTER !!
IF THIS TEACHER HAS THE GUTS TO SEND THIS, WE SHOULD HAVE THE NERVE TO FORWARD IT. SHE WILL PROBABLY LOSE HER JOB. DO WE AMERICANS HAVE THE NERVE TO STAND BEHIND HER, IF WE AGREE, OR DO WE JUST LET HER AND OTHERS LIKE HER CARRY OUR LOAD? INTERESTING QUESTION.
Wow Again...
This 4th grade teacher has said it all, and she was brave enough to attach her name to it.
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 didn'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, Mr. Dodd, Mr. 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.
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
P.S. I rarely ask that emails be 'passed around'.............PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR EMAIL LIST......it's past time for all Americans to wake up!

| Great letter. That lady can count on IRS audits for the next four years, though. That's the way the Clintons got payback for letters like this. |

Origins: This letter to President Obama began circulating in May 2009 as something penned by a fourth grade teacher from Hillsboro, Missouri, named Kathleen Lyday. However, Ms. Lyday has disclaimed being its author; her name merely became attached to it when she forwarded it to others. An earlier version circulated in mid-April 2009 credits authorship to one Franklin T. Bell of Columbia, Maryland.

savedonce...someone will be pointing out that this woman did not write the letter according to truthorfiction.......and they don't know who really wrote it.................thats ok....
we can say:
whoever wrote this thought it has some strong points to express:

edited to say...Sue ...I wasn't implying you or anyone in particular, when I said "someone will be showing that this woman didn't write this.....
your post went in before mine and this would look like I meant you, and
that wasn't the case |

The fourth grade teacher, Ms. Lyday, has disclaimed being its author, so it would be better if it is forwarded to do as Literain suggested, or something similar. | Literain wrote: | we can say:

|
|
You people are too kind to Obama - I can think of a more serious tone in which to address a letter to him and have done so to my representatives. I would not grace Obama with a letter of any kind as it will be viewed with contempt. However your representatives should be persuaded to listen to you as they are in direct line of the public's fire.
We continually play the " Nice guy" thinking our civility will carry the day, when the reality is that Obama and Congress would have us in chains for their pleasure rather than give us our constitutional voice. For a good reference please view this video to gain an idea as to what we are dealing with. The past is indeed,prologue and Yes I recommend you get and watch the movie. This is a clip from the movie Dr. Zhivago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRXKHTTzayU |

I think Bell's name was on the one I recieved some time back, but I don't know that he is its rightful writer,I take what snopes says with a grain of salt ..
but in a way, all that are in one agreement with the words, are authors of it.
I forward mine back then..
and I also call the WH comment line and give my opinion from time to time ..i
As American citizens, its our duty to hold accountible those put into office to serve us and according to their promise's to us, and that includes obama..
WH Comment Line 12024561111
Call and read the letter  |
