In a viral email, former Procter & Gamble executive Lou Pritchett said he's afraid of President Obama. Do his sentiments echo your own? Are YOU afraid? Speak Your Mind

Yea - so what?

This is just one paranoid wingnuts opinion - big deal. Because he pimped soap for a living makes his opinion better than any other persons opinion? Ted Nugent has an opinion too. So does Bill Maher, George Clooney and Warren Buffett. BTW, most wealthy people ARE scared of Obama because their unfair tax advantages are being exposed.

Lou Pritcherd's letter

I am originally from Canada and people have no idea what the Obama Health Car system is like. - 2 year wait for child to get tonsils out- everything is on a quoto system - hope you don't get cancer or a heart problem and the quota has already been me for that month as you may not survive while you wait - those in Canada with major problems come to the US for an operation if wait is too long.

Lou Pritchett letter to Obama

Lou is entitled to his opinion. He is right on about many issues. It is a good thing the powers to be, the financial institutions, etc., are there to control Obama. However, Obama is also right on with many things he does.

Paraphrased response from Ken Watts..

Then entire emails is an education in how to do propaganda. Take, for example the second sentence: "You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you." Notice how he subtly buries an absurd assumption—that after all these months, he really knows nothing about Obama. Obama has given so many press conferences, speeches, and interviews since he has been elected that there are actually people questioning the wisdom of so much exposure and transparency. So if Mr. Pritchett knows nothing about Obama, it's because he hasn't been listening. But he doesn't defend this statement, he merely gives it as the reason Obama scares him, thus slipping in an assumption without any proof. Do you think that the reason he does this has anything to do with his convictions for bribery in 1997? There. You see? I did the same thing. Except I'm telling you right now that I made up the whole bribery conviction thing. But didn't it sound convincing, when given a reason for something else?

Lou Pritchett vs. Obama

Kuddos to Lou Pritchett for speaking the truth of the most Radical President ever in our nation! Its funny how the radical extreme left and media always say that the conservative and right constitutialists are always the stupid ones (right)! Well I totally agree with what Mr Pritchett had to say about this biggest racists president! he has done nothing but divide our country and destroy our beliefs in faith,freedom,capitalism and everything our forefathers fought for in the nineteen century!! So lets keep standing up and speaking our toward Obamas regime and his radicals who believe in control by the government of peoples rights and states and anyone who doesnt agree with their philosphy (socialism) and UNGODLY WAYS OF BELIEVE AND LIVING ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!!

Obama Dangerous

Mr. Obama is dangerous. But, many before him were and after will be dangerous. More concerned about relection than America. He like others, including Republicans, but more so, Democrats. will not address the major problem. To much debt and an abolute impossiblity of meeting unfunded liability for enitlement programs. Just another flawed politican out of the Chicago mold. A huge disappointment.

Don't rewrite history

sadie >> Yes, Bush made some mistakes. True Yes. W can agree. >>But, back in the early 2000's he tried to get congress to see the coming problem with the mortgages.....they did not listen. B** Bush continually bragged that we had the highest home ownership rates of any president. All the bad loans started after Bush had been in office for a several years. Loans made in the 1990's and early 2000's were not the problem. >> That was not his fault, but the fault of congress Republicans controlled both houses of congress for those years. >> And, those were democrats in congress saying up to the end that everything was ok. You must know the facts Both Bush and McCain were telling us all is fine within days of the the crash.

ode to a hitler

Dear Mr. Pritchett You scare me. Your distorted views are irresponsible at best. I thought you might possibly be referring to the Republican members of the US Congress. These clowns have not advanced a single thing to help America. Their only stated goal is to defeat Mr. Obama. Ninety-0ne % of Americans think Congress stinks. Mr. Obama has an approval rating of five times that number. That puts your rant in perspective. Republicans have done nothing but block, obfuscate, distort and stifle every good program Mr. Obama’s administration has put forward. The Senate Minority leader publicly proclaimed that they intend to do nothing to help America because they don’t want Mr. Obama to look good. You champion Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly. These purveyors of fabrications and outright lies have proven that they will never let the facts get in the way of a good political rant. You should keep your biased opinions to yourself from now on.Steve Cohen, LCAM

Wake Up America

Wake up America!! We are all in this as deep as those we voted in to represent us. Instead of bashing, slashing and cashing in how about taking a day off and staying home and doing some deep thought on how America can pull itself up. Oh, and by the way how much was Lou Pritchett making when he retired. Oh yeah, how many companies were bought up by Procter and Gamble. Think about it all and maybe some insight will smack you between the eyes.

dear iliana

Yes, Bush made some mistakes. True. But, back in the early 2000's he tried to get congress to see the coming problem with the mortgages.....they did not listen. That was not his fault, but the fault of congress who had instituted the push for the mortgages in the first place. And, those were democrats in congress saying up to the end that everything was ok. You must know the facts. That was then, this is now. The first 2 yrs of office, Obama and the democrats (who had the majority in both houses of congress) rushed to put through many more high spending bills. This is also fact. Let's not get all excited about what is democrat and what is republican. Let's look at the facts and decide what needs to be done. If Obama and the democrats can change....hey, I'm for it. But, we need a change is direction for our country to remain safe and secure in all ways.

Letter to Obama

This is not about politics. This is about Tax Breaks for the rich. You fear Obama. I fear the rich. I am sure you are a multi-millionaire. But tell me...if you earned one million dollars last year; did you pay taxes on that one million dollars or did you only pay on the excess of what you used multi loop holes? As a middle class citizen, I can't use loop holes. I have all to do to put food on the table. I don't care how much money you make as long as you pay your fair share in taxes.
