Also scared
- I am scared because I know how life in a socialist/communist country will be. But I also have faith in a God who controls all!

Turnabout
- All the things Pritchett is scared of are the very thing most thinking Americans support. We have let the fat cats with their money power run the country for far too long

no way
- Barack Obama is the best chance we have to bring peace and order to this country. I have read his books, and I believe he will lead us in good conscience.

I'm more afraid of Lou Prittchett
- Another mindless rant by a mindless, right wing-nut. Lots of people haven't run companies or serverved in the military, or spent some of their formative years overseas(military brats for example). What makes Prittchett's ideas any better than anyone else's ? Since when has the right been a staunch defender of the 1st Amendment? Isn't the 2nd, more their cup of tea?

Whine complain Bloviate!
- The unbelievable crap that is being spewed here reminds me of the advice I received from right wingers when I protested GWB's illegal war and utter incompetence - you are all free to leave the US any time you want.

Bipolar country
- I find it sad to read the posts here. Pritcharts article was an emotional button pushing letter designed to generate fear. Oh don't label me an Obama supporter though. I have watched him break promise after promise in the first months of his term. Bush started to bury this country in debt and increased government, Obama continues the trend x5. Don't see this in black and white terms. For or against, Bush vs Obama. See it as we need major reform in how our government operates. Lets stop fighting the small fights and get a balanced buget, term limits, line item veto (or no bills that have line items/pork in them) You don't see any of the major players Rep or Dem pushing for those Look at who contributed big to Obama's campaign.. The same people contributed to McCain's. Look who got cabinet posts in Obama's administration or got appointed ambassador. Look what companies got the no bid contracts under Bush.. It's all the same thing at the end of the day Dem and Rep.

Tax payer in support of Lou Pritchett
- I likewise am scared of our future under the Obama adinistration. How long will it take for the supporters of his election to come to realize what the future holds for their children and grandchildren. The whole world will soon look down on us and will be given our country. Ken

Obama
- No one seems to be able to answer the questions Mr. Pritchett has asked. How did he go to the Ivy League school when he has stated that his grandparents raised him and that they had very little? Where did he get his money to afford the lifestyle he gained in Illinois? He did not have a full time salaried position that would pay that amount of money, according to his own statements as to what he did in Chicago. He is intent on being totally "in charge" and is trying to do things so quickly that he can sneak things past the American public because his desires and goals get done so fast that no one is paying attention to what he is doing. Smart game he plays, but not everyone is so naive to believe everything he says. Wake up people or you will loose all of the rights our ancestors fought to give us. We do not need government-runned car companies, goverment-controlled banks, or government-controlled anything!! WE are what makes this country great....not the government!

Walk the small walk - talk the big talk
- Mr. Pritchett a corporate VP never run a big company. I have lived thru 13 presidents, voted for George W twice and look to Obama with hope for redemption for myself and my nation after 8 yrs of death,destruction and humiliation. I dont care who paid for Obamas education ( mainly academic scholarships ) nor do I care about George W,s college drunkeness a nd drug use ( no scholarships there or anywhere). I do care that you ( without military experience) care to preserve American lives rather than willfully destroy and maim them (even with profound military reserve experience) I congratulate Mr Obama for correctly blaming others ( Mr Bush and his handlers) - untli Jan 20 the buck (which he tries to duck) stopped with him - and he put the golden goose on failing life support. A slaughtered youth, destroyed economy, a debased curreny, world hatred and distrust, and the socialist path of govt takeovers - the Bush legacy. I turn with hope for Mr Obama to help us rise from the Bush ashes.

Afraid Of Obama? Wise--if you're NeoCon
- The only people who need fear Mr. Obama are the Neo-Cons and Republican fellow travelers who got us into this mess! The Conservative agenda came home to roost in the last election--and it may never recover (nor will the Republican party unless it wises up!). The only people who need to fear our President are the nut cases on the far right who are still defending the shredding of our Constitution, distruction of our standing in the world, and their "everyman for himself and the devil take the hindmost" perversion of the phrase "person responsibility". A word to Mr. Pritchett: Your open letter implies that you know little or nothing about the many aspects of Barack Obama's life, beliefs, goals and vision for America. I suggest you read his books and other writings, listen to his speeches and checkout his biography rather than just cowering in a corner with your hands over your ears, terrified by the word "Liberal".

- Dear Mr. Pritchett, thank you for putting into words all t he things I feel about this terrible and wretched person we have as the United States President. I can not stand him, nor do I believe a word that comes out of his mouth...He is a LIAR. His fans are Bill Ayers Rev. Wright, George Soros, and not to forget Karl Marx! How do we get this man out of office ASAP, before we are doomed and completely destroyed and our beautiful USA becomes just a memory? I love my country and all it stands for. I agree with you this may not be for long! I hate what he stands for because to me it is all about HIM, not the people! He can care less....I hate the way he talks to people, as if he is above all. Well, he is not above all. He is a destroyer and that is the way I see him. A Liar, Destroyer and Not To Be Trusted! Thank you again for your letter. v v c

- I agree with comment from Stufflebeam....I AM MORE AFRAID of people like Prichett and his hatred kind. The mouthy Democrat Haters are spewing their poison. Too stupid to find answers about President O..IF they just opened their eyes to believe what is truth! Every President makes mistakes, but he has worked his tail off for US! '08 was a waste, why didn't the GRAND ole R and GWB do something before our economy drowned?? ..I forgot, that was the Democrats fault! Prichett got his glory just because he was living at the right time and at the right place..wake up and smell the coffee, WE SHOULD BE HUMAN BEINGS FIRST, AMERICANS SECOND, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS THIRD...unfortunately people like him and his right wing 'SO CALLED' CHRISTIANS, LIMBERCHEESER, AND DEMOCRAT HATERS NEED TO stand up and make suggestions as to how they would do things differently if they are so damn smart! Obama has intelligence and class, he would never do that to Prichard! That's class!

Afraid of Obama?
- The conservative media helped to hide the career loser record of g.w.bush. He ran EVERY business he started into the ground, EXCEPT Harlen oil, a friend of his fater bailed that company out. The Bush family fortune paid g.w. out of his messes. The formative years of g.w.bush were drinking, drugging, running wild, using family influence, "entitlement", to avoid responsibility. I doubt g.w.bush ever had to make a payroll, on his own. The military history of g.w.bush is shameful, AWOL, loss of flying status. the amount of humility shown by the entire bush administration was too small to measure. the arrogance was unbelievable. Are the radicals of Obama different than Limbaugh, who have stated they hope for failure? Almost every fear seems an opinion, while the previous administration committed treason, reverted to 12th century torture to justify an illegal invasion, and the killing of over 4000 real U.S. patriots. I'm more afraid of a fool than an intelligent man
