Dear President Obama
Today I read of your administrations 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.
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. We noticed.!!!
When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a
flower on the memorial, you tossed your flower onto the pile without
leaning over. 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.
We noticed.!!!
When your pastor of 20 years 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.
When you later disassociated yourself from that church and pastor
because it was politically expedient to do so,
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, 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 remarkable
one. We noticed.!!!
All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself
with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions you
appointed them to. Worse than that, the majority of them are people
who, like you, bear no special affection or respect for this country
and her traditions. We noticed.!!!
You are 6 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.
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". We wonder how we are supposed to let you
know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests
seem isolated. 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. We noticed.!!!
There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could
help unite this nation even more. In six months you have done more
to destroy this nation than anyone since 9/11. You have failed us.
We noticed.!!!
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose
to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't
share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your
proposal as what it is...a disgrace. We
noticed.!!!
When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from
office. You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office
that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign
visits and policy.We noticed.!!!
We have noticed all these things. We
will deal with you as we dealt with Hubert Humphrey, George
McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore,
and John Kerry- All better Americans than you are !!!
9/11 will always be 9/11, no matter what name you try to give it.
9/11
