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

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.
Big surprise. Since it hit the Internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.. It's happening right now.*

| We've seen this before. Obama is just a pawn in the game. It's the BIG MONEY interests that have bought our democracy with their money that we should be fearful. |

Do you remember the old commercial that stated: "When E.F Hutton speaks ... Everybody listens."
Well I am glad to say that I have heard Mr. Pritchett speak ... AND WE NEED EVERYBODY TO LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS!
And then after we listen ... WE NEED TO ACT!!!
Respectfully,

I can say the same thing about Bush II, Clinton and Bush I.
Sadly the reaction will be to put a Retardican in office to replace him. Palin, McCain, Romney, Statists from the other faction. Yeah, that will fix the problem...

Wonder if he sent this letter before or after the recent "crash" that took his former company's stock down a few notches?

| guys everyone here is very capable of googling his name and find out all kinds of info on Lou Pritchett.that is not the reason i bothered posting this.it makes no difference if he is still employed by proctor and gamble or not,or even still alive for that matter.i posted it because every statement he said is true,are they not? |

| To be clear: I left my post as a response to the two posts preceding it. I have no qualms with your post, and I'm not picking at it. Quite the contrary. |

| this is obviously fake. no one today feels safe writing such a letter, let alone the CEO of a public company. |
Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00
copper cents at 1.3X
wheat pennies at 3X

Snopes actually says it's legit. I doubted it too, but I think it makes it a whole world of difference if he's the FORMER CEO...
I saw that the original post included a snopes link, but instead of just trusting that, I went to snopes myself and searched for "you scare me." It was result number two, and is listed as "correctly attributed." Near the bottom of the page, it says:
Mr. Pritchett confirmed to us that he was indeed the author of the much-circulated "open letter" quoted above:
"I did write the 'you scare me' letter. I sent it to the NY Times but they never acknowledged or published it. However, it hit the internet and according to the 'experts' has had over 500,000 hits." |
