"WE NOTICED"
President Obama:
Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define
September 11 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-damned 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 September 11, 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 a s 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
