"WE NOTICED"
President Obama:
Today I read of your administrations' plan
to re-define September11 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.
YES, "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.
YES, "We noticed."
When President Bush leaned over at Ground
Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial,
while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto
the pile without leaning over.
YES, "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. In fact, you insulted the
British Crown beyond belief.
YES, "We noticed."
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-****ed
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. You later
disassociated yourself from that church and
Pastor Wright because it was politically
expedient to do so.
YES, "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, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "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 very remarkable one.
YES, "We noticed."
All through your campaign and even now, you
have surrounded yourself with individuals who
are basically unqualified for the positions for
which you appointed them. Worse than that,
the majority of them are people who, like you,
bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection
for this country and her traditions.
YES, "We noticed."
You are 9 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.
YES, "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", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed
to let you know how frustrated we are. You have
attempted to make our protests seem isolated and
insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans
had the right to speak out.
YES, "We noticed."
On September11, 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.
And YES, "We noticed."
There were many of us who prayed that as a black
president you could help unite this nation. In six
months you have done more to destroy this nation
than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.
YES, "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.
YES, "We noticed."
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.
YES, "We noticed.."
We have noticed all these things. We will deal with
you. When Americans come together again, it will
be to remove you from office.
Take notice.
Love one another with a pure heart fervently...1 Peter
