- "You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you," wrote Pritchett, behind locked doors and windows so Obama couldn't get him. Yikes! Seriously though, if Lou Pritchett "knows nothing" about Obama, he is an ignoramus living in a cave. Obama has written two books, one of them autobiographical. Obama has given innumerable public speeches and participated in several public debates. Obama's entire life has been scrutinized and criticized by the media and conservative character assassins (and I mean entire quite literally, with much hubbub made out of the place and time of his very conception and birth, similar to that other Messiah's). With the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on preventing Obama from becoming president, how can anybody believe there are any big secrets out there about Obama's past?
- Obama's Kenyan father also studied at Harvard, making Obama an Ivy League legacy of sorts, so maybe the Islamist-Saudi conspiracy to fund Barack's education started even sooner -- decades before 9/11 -- with his father! (gasp!) What many people don't realize is that, yes, while Harvard tuition is expensive, Harvard's endowment is richer than most multinational corporations, and can easily afford to subsidize its students' education. There are also things called federal student loans. But whatever. Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law, by the way. (His grades were probably all bought & paid for.)
- Pritchett is saying that Obama's youth spent abroad and his Kenyan father make him less American, or un-American. We can safely call this racist xenophobia. I'm serious. Somebody please tell me how it's not. "Culturally you are not an American." What the hell does that mean? Who made Lou Pritchett the judge of that?
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.

- "You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll," wrote Pritchett, hiding in the closet with his laptop and a flashlight. How many of our Presidents have never run a company or met a payroll? Does George Washington scare Lou Pritchett, too? What about Grover Cleveland? The mere thought of Grover and his sinister beard sends a chill down my spine, let me tell you.
- "You scare me because you have never had military experience," wrote Pritchett, his fingers trembling on the keyboard. George W. Bush's only military experience was avoiding the Vietnam draft and not showing up for Texas Air National Guard duty. But I guess that never scared Lou Pritchett. Nobody can accuse old Lou of scaring easily; he's scared for good reason!
- Pritchett, despite his initial claim of total ignorance about who Obama is or what he wants, then claims to know who Obama is and what he wants, like European-style socialism, blame America first, blah, blah, blah. Indeed, it seems like Pritchett knows -- or at least thinks he knows -- a heckuva lot about Obama.
- "You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people." Let's give one big example where Pritchett is demonstrably, incontrovertibly wrong (assuming there are any intelligent people in Congress, or among the lobbyists who tell them what to do and how to write their bills): health care reform. Unlike Hillary, Obama did not foist a "secret" health care bill on Congress. He laid out a few very basic goals, like cutting costs and increasing access, and then asked Congress to craft a bill to achieve those goals. (That's just what Stalin would have done!)
- "The media gives you a free pass on everything you do." Exactly. Obviously. That's why none of us know who Rev. Jeremiah Wright is. Except those of us who get all our news from Rush Limbaugh.
- Speaking of Limbaugh... Pritchett revives the baseless claim -- made over and over and over again by conservatives -- that Obama wants to "silence" talk radio or reimpose the so-called Fairness Doctrine, even though Obama has flat-out denied any plans to do so, nor has he proposed any legislation to do so. Pritchett is engaging in dishonest fear-mongering. Then again, Pritchett has let us know how he spends his free time in retirement.
The rest of this, as I said, is just bald assertion and name-calling. If Pritchett is such a distinguished old corporate titan, he has really sullied his image by writing such a stupid list of bullet points with no argument or evidence to back it up. No wonder the NYT refused to publish his letter. ...Oh, wait, silly me, I forgot! The Times are up to their necks in the lib'rul conspiracy! Of course they're not going to publish Pritchett's scathing, well-researched and thought-out grumpy-old-man's diatribe.
If Lou Pritchett is not able to write a similarly stupid, unpublished open letter 8 years from now, as he hopes to do, it will be because he has died of a heart attack or a brain aneuryism brought on by a fit of paranoid, apopleptic rage at something he caught on FOX or talk radio. Or because he has died of fright.
P.S. -- Lou Pritchett, you scare me because you are buds with Giant Garfield. And because of that shirt. Wow.
