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, 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. it's past time for all Americans to wake up!

Obamanation
Here I will write my list of grievances with the President and his misguided approach to life, politics, economics, foreign policy, and especially the preciousness of life.
Sure, what's makes me so smart? What gives me the right to judge? I'm not a scholar, I didn't go to Harvard, I'm not a politician, and up until 10 years ago, when I met my wife, I drank too much, partied too much and was headed down the road to hell. I do, however, fell that I am a pretty decent judge of character. I do try to live a life of integrity. I have always valued family, friendship, accountability, honesty, fairness, fiscal responsibility, and above all treating other people with respect. On the other hand I wish I was more easy going, was better at public speaking, made friends more easily, remembered peoples names more, and paid more attention to people.
With all of that said, here are my thoughts on Barack Obama.
It's definately cool that we have a black president. It makes a lot of African Americans proud. It seems to me that they finally feel important. On the other hand I have had the pleasure of meeting many black men (and women) with whom I have been very impressed. The first one that comes to mind is a gentlemen who spoke at a conference at our church. I cannot think of his name but his message was for black men to stand up and act like men. He urged them to find a young black boy, walk beside them, and raise them up in the way they should walk. His ambitions are not to be President, and are not personal at all. His ambitions are to see blacks become better contributors to society. All races could heed his wisdom.
Barack's ambitions on the other hand, are unclear, at least to me. His background seems shady. I am completely unimpressed by his education and Law degree. Being born with intelligence does not automatically translate into wisdom. Some terrorists have doctoral degrees. I have not studied Marxism or communism or socalism, and I do not understand why people in this country would favor that approach. I have studied American history, and I feel the forefathers of this country had wisdom beyond any politician that has been around in my lifetime. Their strength, courage, knowledge and especially faith guided them to defeat tyranny and create a country that respects personal liberty like no other ever created. For these reasons I think we should pay a lot more respect than we do towards the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I object when people twist the intent of these documents, as we do with the first amendment. I try to teach my kids to respect and cherish our history. We are so fortunate to be Americans.
Now for the list:

Now for the list:
- Reversing the ban against the government sending tax dollars overseas to finance abortions. Clearly the man is pro-abortion. We should send our money overseas to help the poor, widows, and orphans. (and it should be voluntary and come from the heart as it says in 2 Cor. 9:7)
- The "Stimulus Package": A colossal mistake, rammed down the American public's throat, to be paid for by generations to come (sorry kids).
- Cuts in defense spending: the forefathers thought this to be the main function of the federal government, yet they are cutting spending on it, while protecting turtles in California, and Iran and Korea have nukes.

Einstein Quotes
I've heard conflicting sides of whether Einstein was a believer. What do you think?
"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."
"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
