Beautifully Composed Letter from Procter & Gamble Executive To President Obama


TO SNOPES FANS, THIS IS TRUE -

PLEASE CHECK: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.asp



This is legitimate, it was written by Mr. Lou Pritchett, formerly of Proctor and

Gamble.

Lou Pritchett is one of Corporate America's true living legends, a highly

respected, 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.

And, he's scared. Please read the closing statement.



AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA :

Dear President Obama,

You are the 13th 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 your 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", rather than 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 Limbaughs,

Hannitys, 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 probably will not feel safe in

writing a similar letter in eight years.



Lou Pritchett



In closing:

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it. Big

surprise?? No.

Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over 500,000 views.

KEEP IT GOING!!!!

All that is necessary for evil to succeed, is for good men to do n-o-t-h-i-n-g.

It's happening right now. Let's band together. Send this on, and get involved.

Fuel to the freaks who are afraid of a black man in the white house.

1. Mr. Pritchett, Please go see your doctor. Your dementia is showing.

:shrug:

[barbiegeek]

27. HE RETIRED FROM P&G in 1989, and does have dementia

He has nothing to do with the company anymore.

[OnTheOtherHand]

2. beginning of my open letter to Lou Pritchett:

Unlike most retired executives, you scare me.

You scare me, because you say crazy stuff and don't even try to back it up.

[rurallib]

3. Looks like Pritchett watches FUX and lives in the expensive 'burbs

I wonder if P&G is very happy with their unwanted connection to this. Not sure what they could do about it anyway.
Just because a guy had a concept that made some money doesn't make him an expert on everything.

I am a former Proctoid and believe me, P&G has more than their share of right wing idiots that are way, way out of touch with real life.

[liberal N proud]

5. Proctor and Gamble Headquarters is near Cincinnati Ohio

It is a very Republican area, so I would not surprise me if they support this propaganda and probably helped the spread.

[rurallib]

9. I am an old proctoid. Spent mucho time in Cincy

hate that city. There is more life in my town of 3000 than in Cincy.
What I always found strange was the 5 o'clock changeover. The Beemers and Lexi would head out of the downtown with their white drivers and the buses would bring in the mostly black office cleaners.

[proudohioan]

4. Dear Mr. Pritchett,

You and others like you scare me more than any "furin terist" ever could.
Maybe it's time to show show some REAL American pride and throw yourself on your gilded sword.

Sincerely,

A Very Concerned Citizen who will never buy your products again.

[Old Codger]

6. Pure

Unadulterated BS

[ensemble]

7. FWIW

A much more interesting letter written in this style could have been written about GWB after a year in office.

[xxqqqzme]

8. My mother probably sent it to me

but I don't open her emails anymore because she sends me crap like this.

[Greybnk48]

10. Crazier than a shit-house rat.

I never ceases to amaze me when I get a glimpse of the idiots who are promoted to the top of these corporations. The criteria for promotion is clearly not reality based.

[ensemble]

11. well..

Its based on ability to make money for the company, nothing else.

[high density]

12. And people care what this guy has to say, because... ?

It seems the 'capitalists' are doing an alright job at destroying everything without any help from Obama. All of this offshoring and income inequality are taking the US economy to zero at a rapid speed. They'll have to follow the money offshore, because we won't have any economy left when they're done with it.

[Jennicut]

13. Has he ever heard of student loans to pay for education? Obama had a lot of them

and recently paid them off.
I won't even get into the other crap. Frankly, THAT man scares me.

[Nite Owl]

14. Where the hell was he

when baby Bush was in office? Served in the military? not quite, he went AWOL, though the media didn't really talk about that. Culturally had no clue what it was like to be middle class or poor in this country as he was 'born with a silver spoon in his mouth'. Where do the Bushes get their money and how much are they worth? Not talked about much now is it and he doesn't question it at all. Silence Limpballs, Hannity etc? No, just call them on their lies, the right doesn't like that, well f$$& them.
All this guy did was reveal how corrupt corporations are at the core if he is considered respected. He scares me.

[Berry Cool]

15. But if he's from Procter & Gamble,

isn't he a Satanist? :rofl:

[sadbear]

23. That was my first thought, too

:evilgrin:

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. He sure as HELL is!

:headbang: :evilgrin:

[Phx_Dem]

16. Well Mr. Prichett, you scare the shit out of me because you're fucking nuts.

[liberal N proud]

17. I found a response to Mr Pritchett

John,

Thanks for forwarding the below letter titled “Obama You Scare Me,” by Lou Pritchett, former CEO of Proctor & Gamble.

I find it intriguing that he managed to include in one letter, virtually every anti-Obama cliché ever uttered. I respectfully submit my rebuttal below. My responses appear in blue type following each of his contentions.

Your old friend,
Carl

22. Bookmarked. Beautiful! Thanks! n/t

[PatSeg]

28. Excellent rebuttal

Thanks for posting.

[Arkana]

18. Whatever.

Some rich guy's scared of the black dude in the Oval Office, film at 11.

[jenmito]

19. To summarize-Obama scares him because Obama is BLACK. n/t

[liberal N proud]

24. Yup!

[Blue_Tires]

20. Translation: "In MY day, you people knew your place!!"

"And my worldview has become so bitter and inflexible, I have mentally retreated into a self-deluded reality of my own making."

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

30. Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner.

[HillWilliam]

21. On my summer vacation

we went to the beach. It was fun.
On my summer vacation I swam in the sea. It was salty.
On my summer vacation I got sunburned. It hurt.
On my summer vacation I picked up seashells. They were pretty.

Fucking yawn.

If a president of anything more than a junior high student body wrote that piece of drizzling shit quoted in the OP, I'd be surprised. This is one more rehash of every sorry and debunked smear ever thrown at Obama with even worse construction than usual. That, in and of itself, is going some.

Then again, it was built for freeps who can't read or comprehend at any level above that. At best, most of them have learned to tie their shoes, some of them to bathe occasionally, a few not to make messes in the house. They'll eat this shit up as if it were something new.

P. T. Barnum was right.

[liberal N proud]

25. LOL

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

29. Spent 20 year in Cincinnati....

And ingorant asswipes like Mr. Pritchett are the main reason that I have never, not for one second, regretted leaving.

Let's summarize. Mr. Pritchett calls Obama a lot of names and makes a slew of false accustions, and then says that because of this, he's "scared."

I'd say "get over it," Lou, but I really don't care if you get over it or not. You're an old man, Lou. And you're going to die soon. And nobody will remember who you are or what you did or why you were here.
