We noticed

Nov 2, 2009 2:44 PM
Author unkown.

President Obama:

Today I read of your administration's 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 as 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.

I just hope that when my son volunteers at Operation Rescue and the NRA, this will count as "National Service".

The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance is the culmination of a seven-year effort started by 9/11 family members and support groups to establish the service day as a way to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 and to rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that followed the attacks. September 11 was officially recognized as a National Day of Service and Remembrance by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, passed with strong bipartisan support and signed into law by President Obama in April.

WOW, I do remember seeing the flower just being tossed on to the memorial, but I hoped that I had just taken it the wrong way. How sad that a country as beat up as we are, need to endure someone, anyone, disrespecting this country in any way. I am afraid if someone close to me didn't put their hand over their heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was read, I would open my mouth, & not say anything nice to them, especially having to do with the horror of 9/11.
I know everyone has the right to see things as they please, but with us being as battered as we are, sometimes patriotism is all we have to hold on to on any given day. Nothing could cause me to lose that, ever.
Thanks for taking the time to lay all of that out, it is very disturbing;but seeing everything that happened all together like that, makes one(me at least) stop & think.

Thanks!
JJ

It wasn't the Pledge (which has been changed numerous times over the years by various groups) it was the Star-Spangled Banner



And for proof that Obama has no problem reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, check this video of C-SPAN’s recording of the Senate’s morning business, with Obama presiding, on June 21, 2007. Or this one from Feb. 1, 2007.

OP........why don't you tell us about how Bush presented himself at Dover AFB, to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for America..........

Oh, that's right, he couldn't be bothered........too busy damning "that rag" AKA the Constitution......

When most people read ‘Animal Farm’, they were concerned. When Sarah Palin read it………Oh, wait a minute……she doesn’t read books, magazines, or newspapers.

One of the most absurd OPs I've seen here in quite a while, and that's saying a lot.

Just when you think the emasculated righties can't come up with anything more twisted, factually flawed or maudlin.....bingo!....somehow they do :)


If at first you don't secede, try try again

From Ravy's link:

tens of thousands of volunteers expected to turn out to paint and refurbish homes, run food drives, spruce up schools, reclaim neighborhoods, and support and honor veterans and first responders.

“I call upon all Americans to join in service and honor the lives we lost, the heroes who responded in our hour of need, and the brave men and women in uniform who continue to protect our country at home and abroad” -- Barack Obama


How does painting the gutters on someone's house honor the lives of those who died, and those who protect our country?


"Deriving strength from tragedy, we can write the next great chapter in our Nation's history and ensure that future generations continue to enjoy the promise of America.” -- Barack Obama

More like not wanting a tragedy to go to waste. :^O

Probably has to do with the fact that for a short time, we were working together, communities sending firetrucks, search and recovery teams, food packages for the volunteers, you know stuff that made us look like the United States.
