President Obama:
Today I read of your administration's 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 every 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.
