Faster horses said:Mr. Obama:
I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you a re not an adequate representative of
the United States of America collectively or of me personally. You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States .. You are
not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United
States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status
in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World
War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe? Are you
brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not
understand or know the history of the 20th century?
Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not
consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of
Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded
on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least
until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand
this?
Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our
President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You
don't show Great Britai n , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect
they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir!
How dare you!
You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because
you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey .
You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect
than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What's the matter
with you?
I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the
historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of
yourselves, all of you.
You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American
automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this
situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae
bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them?
Anything? I seriously doubt it.
What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their
staff members - on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that
lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus.
I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven't said
anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn't!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie=2 0Mac will be receiving $210 million in
bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG
bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51
million - not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven't you expressed your
outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have
right now.
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring
about what you idiots do.
We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with
all of you.
I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and
say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.
I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to
spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
Sincerely,
Every real American
P.S. I rarely ask that emails be 'passed around'...PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR

Analysis: Readers will either agree or disagree with the opinions expressed in the letter above depending on their own political convictions, but the matter of its authorship is subject to correction.
I contacted Kathleen Lyday at Grandview Elementary School in Hillsboro, Missouri, and she told me she did not, in fact, write the letter. More often than not, the signature lines of people who forward such emails are automatically attached in the process and become a semi-permanent feature of the messages. This is apparently what happened to Ms. Lyday.
Other variants attribute authorship to "Franklin Bell" or "Douglas M. Casamer." Franklin Bell of Columbia, Maryland is the likelier candidate, given that a version dated April 9, 2009 was posted by blogger Gary Shumway under a preface stating that he had obtained Mr. Bell's permission to do so.
