This letter is right on...Obama is a disgrace to America and scares me as well. I am scared for my freedoms that our forefathers have given us.

Look at this web page real close. This is not about Pritchert. This entire page is an About.Com attack on the president of the United States. They said it was true that Lou P. acknowleged he sent the letter. What about the content of the letter? What about the Syop Obama ad on the side bar? I personally believe it is and well should be a criminal act for anyone to incite people to acts of violence. This has become more than political, it is dangerous. I am a very conservative republican and I did not vote for Obama but he is doing a damn good job. He is a far site better than the last president we had and I agree with the guests that posted the reply that there is no room for dialog. This is nothing but sick crap.

Lou Pritchett if full of hate. A friend if mine forwarded the letter to the President. What is his purpose but only to stir up hatred withing the ignorant population. The prior administration and his croonies ascared me with their dictatorship and interpretation of the Constitution. What is this country coming to? A priest who visited Washington DC recenlty stated that there protesters with unloaded guns at the Mall of America. They had signs that they will bring bullets next. This is what people such as Mr. Prichett are encouraging. I am sorry to say but the Republican and so called "Conservative Party" should be ashamed of thereselves and instead of fear mongering and blaming the should constructively work at making the US the best country in the world.

I agree with him 100%. I'm also frustrated with Mr. Obama's foreign policy in Middle East, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the contents of Obama's character we see the colour of the Democratic Party and the people who voted for him. If it's not Obama it would be someone else like him, because the Democratic Party is responsible for this man being where he is.

In researching Obama before the election I was aware of how scarey this person is. But he is still President of our Country. Who are the ones with power that put him in office? That is a scarey story that needs to be addressed. God help the United States.

I happen to be 71, Dad told Me: If You have'nt got anything nice to say about someone don't say anything. Also: I don't care who You vote for but I want You to vote. So far it looks like Obama for another "FOUR". As Always Sam.

The names are changed to protect the innocent. I was raised this way: If You have nothing nice to say about a person just don't say it. As Always Sam.

Obama is a loose cannon period. Didn't trust him before the election and less now. Not about to run to Canada either - will watch the American public vote him out

What is this nonsense about the president ignoring and disobeying the constitutioin? Let's have a reality check. This president has been trying to restore the dignity and respect of the constitution. For the previous 8 years you had a man who tried like hell to be emporer. A man quoted as having a tyraid in a cabinet meeting and saying "constitution be damned it is just a piece of paper". A man with an attorney general who said that international law and the constitution are "quaint". Next time you accuse someone of not following the constitution look at your hero more closely ok? Bush and Cheney trid to throw the bill of rights out the window. The fact is that the previous administration should all be ehind bars yet they still walk free. Changes need to be made in this country and one can hope the Obama can actually do it. If he can't I'll be dissapointed but at least I don't have to worry about someone throwing me in jail because I disagree with them like Bush.

I view Pritchett’s over the top reaction to Obama as more Right Wing fear mongering and the continuing refusal of the Right to accept a loss, the continuous demonizing of everything Obama and the majority in Congress propose and the persistent lies about what legislation contains e.g. death panels, bailouts, etc. Mr. Pritchett is a perfect example of the arrogant bullies who so often gain executive status by being expert at the very kind of extortion tactics he accuses Obama. They don’t function very well when they are not in charge and when they don’t have control over everybody in the room. Pritchett has no pipeline to the White House now. Certainly no reason for the NYT to publish a tirade constituting the opinion of the author and devoid of a significant fact. His tirade is all opinion, mischaracterization and unsupported inferences. As far as demonizing those four titans of misinformation, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and O’Reilly who bully their guests and use them as a

I do believe Mr. Pritchett. Unfortuantly, the Liberal Agenda has hurt America deeply since the 1960's. But, let's be fair. Mr Obama has come into the White House with a hell of a mess to deal with. A poor job market, an even deeper crisis in the housing market and absolutly no Democrat/Republican support. But, he did accept the challenge. I don't like the man, not because of his race or where he came, not becuase the whole world was for him and not because I'm a Moderate. I don't like him because he is not a supporter of me or any other American. He has a Liberal Agenda and I'm completly against it. I'm also against the Government run healthcare. I don't believe Nixon or Reagan would have approved of this bill. Anyway, let's look at both sides of the fence. If anybody remembers, less then eight months after Bush Jr. got the presidency, 9/11 happened. So it was not an easy transition from Clinton to Bush Jr. It's the same thing with Obama.
