Proctor & Gamble honcho writes hilarious "open letter" wingnutery to Obama
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.ASP

Snopes link verifies the sender.....hard to say what part of it is more absurd! They guy is pout-raged that NYT didn't publish these re-hashed a.m. radio talking points from such a big important corporate lord such as himself.

We need to send some "Why You Scare Me Lou Pritchert" letters!


Chilling Letter from Proctor & Gamble to Obama
Who would have thought, and yet many are thinking it.
< cid:1.1578333292@web113515. mail.gq1.yahoo.com >
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, 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 will
Probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Lou Pritchett

14. didn't he write this about ten years after he left P&G?
and I doubt that he wrote it under company auspices.
I worked for P&G once also, but I am sure what I express does not reflect their viewpoint.

2. I'm scared too!
But not of Obama, but of idiots like this can rise to the top of a major corporation. This is a total disconnect from reality.

4. Gee, Proctor and Gamble, aren't they the ones that used the sign of the devil
for their logo? At least that's what the religious nuts said years ago. :evilgrin:

5. The man is very scared
'You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
Country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector..'

This part scares me where he thinks corporations should control
Because people should rule and private does not include people

8. Let's go through the points . . .
. . .er . .

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.

1. Horseshit.

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.

2. Complete horseshit. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/money.asp

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

3. Utter abominable bigoted Birfer horseshit.

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

4. Irrelevant. Every company Bewsh ran failed while he came out richer than when he started. Means nothing.

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

5. Irrelevant. Want I should go through the list of conservatives who have never served? It's a human body LONG. And what's he doing wrong to you? He's spreadin' the Imperialism just fine. I thought that's what conservatives jack off over?

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

6. Fuck off. He inherited the biggest mess in 75 years, you don't have to be a genius to figure that one OUT.

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..

7. AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I stopped reading. Fuck this guy.

9. What a load of crap
"You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
Growing up in America and culturally you are not an American."

The man spent 5 years in Indonesia and from age 10 on he grew up in Hawaii.

Now what's pissing me off is that this fucking little prick is saying that Hawaii isn't part of America...as someone who was born in Hawaii while it was still a territory and grew up and spent most of my formative years there...let me tell you Hawaii is just as American as any state in the union.

And I tend to get angry when fucking haoles say stupid shit about my home state! And make no mistake this asshole is a a stupid haole!!!

10. We live in an age when fucking stupid idiots can rise to become
CEOs of huge companies or EVEN POTUS! HOW fucking stupid idiots rise to their position? They have other fucking stupid idiots as mentors and peers. Our country is fucked because Obama gave free money to stupid fucking idiots...and of course they hate him for it!!! Obama rolled over for Wall Street and they STILL stabbed him in the back! I would refute every one of those, but it is a waste of time.

I am GLAD shitstain is scared, most shitstains are like turkeys caught out in a real bad rainstorm.

What really scares Lou is that he has NO CLUE about reality and is dangerous in the position he is in. I will find all the P&G products I buy on a weekly basis and replace them with alternatives AND I suggest everyone does that same thing from now on!

Let us help shitstain lose HIS job!

Then he can go stand with the OWS crowds and be scared!

13. ding. ding. ding. winner!
No facts, just the usual rw bs. I sure won't be buying anything with the P&G label on it.

Cincinnati may be in Ohio but after living there in grad school, I'd have to classify it as a southern not midwestern city.

15. This guy is easy to scare.
He doesn't even check things out for himself before allowing other people's assertions to "scare" him.

Repeated use of a phrase like that only weakens it to nothing.
