    A letter from a procter and gamble executive to the president

    This may be old news but I never thought a VP of a major corporation would publish simething like this.

    By Lou Pritchett, Procter & Gamble

    A LETTER FROM A PROCTER AND GAMBLE EXECUTIVE TO THE PRESIDENT*

    THE LAST SENTENCE IS THE MOST CHILLING


    Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America’s true living legends- an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management.. Lou changed the way America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.

    AN OPEN LETTER TO
    PRESIDENT OBAMA

    Dear President Obama:

    You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike
    any of the others, you truly scare me.

    You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.


    You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive
    Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no
    visible signs of support.

    You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
    growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

    You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

    You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus
    don't understand it at its core.

    You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

    You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned
    yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to
    publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail..

    You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America '
    crowd and deliver this message abroad.

    You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
    country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

    You scare me because you want to replace our health care system
    with a government controlled one.

    You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly
    capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

    You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose
    that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of
    living in the world.

    You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics
    against certain banks and corporations.

    You scare me because your own political party shrinks from
    challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

    You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider
    opposing points of view from intelligent people.

    You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both
    omnipotent and omniscient.

    You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything
    you do.

    You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the
    Limbaugh's, Hannity's, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing,
    conservative points of view.

    You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

    Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will
    probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

    Lou Pritchett

    This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.
    Big surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over
    500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed
    is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now.*

        "You scare me" 20 times? Chickenshit! hahaha

        90% of that letter is ignorant, uninformed horseshit....

        But then again, he makes it clear he listens to "Limbaugh's, Hannity's, O'Reillys and Becks", so what do you expect....never mind the inability of a former "executive" to understand when and how to use an apostrophe....

            "You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world."

            Among many nuggets in that letter. The writter seems to have forgotten that it is exactly the American capitalist goose (greed) that lead to this current recession, and that not everyone has the luxury of living the highest standard...

            Why even bother reading such stupid stuff? We have witnessed the whole forum becoming lame due to the excessive ranting from a few members, this post being obviously tongue in cheek (not as fun as tongue in chick though). Okay conservative dudes, you made your point about not liking the current administration. Now let it go. Work on your e30 and share some pleasant moments. Build something.

                Regardless of the letter the following are very point on:
                "You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive
                Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no
                visible signs of support.

                You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
                growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

                You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

                You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus
                don't understand it at its core.

                You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

                You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned
                yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to
                publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.."

                While I may be ignorant, which is fine with me I don't mind being educated but where is this guy wrong in these statements?

                        Can someone argue that point by point? It's pretty damned accurate.

                              He is saying something bad is okay because something worse already happened.
