"WE NOTICED"


President Obama:

Today I read of your administrations' plan
to re-define September 11 as a National 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 eve ry
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."
