Washington, DC 20500

Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are 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 20thcentury?

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 Britain, 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 Mac 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

I sent it.  Changed the pay cut comment to "got laid off" but otherwise sent it as is. 
Any one else want to join me on the "watch list"

There are some things about Georgia folks should know...........
 
Coca Cola is ours, and unless you've had one in a green six-and-a-half ounce bottle, with a slight crust of ice on top, you don't know what the real thing is. And you might want to try pouring about half a pack of salted peanuts into one sometime.
 
If it weren't for a Georgian- Crawford Long, of Jefferson---open-heart surgery would hurt like hell.
 
True Georgians say "ma'am and sir" and call their mothers "mama" and their fathers "daddy".

They know that y'all is perfectly good English and never means just one person.

"Fixin' to" is perfectly acceptable, too.

And if y'all don't like the way we talk, Delta (which is also ours) is ready when you are. 
 
Long before the Olympics brought the world's greatest athletes to Atlanta, we gave the world Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson, Walt Frazier, Luke Appling, Johnny Mize, Fran Tarkenton, Bobby Jones, Wyomia Tyus, and Herschel Walker.
If you don't know who these people are, you ought to find out before you go to bed tonight.
 
Long after the Atlanta Olympics have faded from memory, the greatest tournament in golf will still be played in Augusta every April, with or without Jessie Jackson's and Martha Burke's approval, and on autumn Saturdays, 90,000 or so Red-and-Black faithful will gather in Athens for a prayer meeting between the hedges. Not to mention the Gold and White of North Ave...

No matter how many times the Braves play in the World Series, nothing will match the excitement of that first one.
 
The Stone Mountain carving is lots bigger than the one on Mt. Rushmore and the people etched into the side of Stone Mountain deserve the honor.  It wasn't just about slavery.
 
Atlanta was called "the city too busy to hate," back in the sixties, because it really was, and we should be proud of that fact.
 
In 1864 Sherman burned Atlanta and much of Georgia in his March to the sea. But we ain't bitter, it was war. And, crack cocaine is bringing more harm to Atlanta now than Sherman ever dreamed of.

We don't grow the most peaches, but we still deserve to be called the "Peach State" because ours are the sweetest..
That includes the Georgia peaches that don't grow on trees.

Elvis wasn't ours, but Otis Redding, James Brown, the Allman Brothers, Johnny Mercer, Joe South , Ray Charles, Bill Anderson, Brenda Lee, Trisha Yearwood, Travis Tritt and Alan Jackson are. So are Sidney Lanier, Joel Chandler Harris, Margaret Mitchell and Alice Walker. And I still miss Lewis Grizzard every day. Julia Roberts may be Georgia's prettiest movie star, but Holly Hunter is the most talented. Dakota Fanning may one day surpass them both.
 
The "Little White House" in Warm Springs is exactly as it was the day FDR died there, near the end of World War II.
Every Georgian needs to visit Warm Springs.

Georgia once had three governors at the same time. Lester Maddox wasn't one of them, but was elected by the General Assembly without getting a majority of the popular vote. He did a good job too, God rest his soul.

Zell Miller was the best governor I never voted for.
 
Gone With the Wind belongs to us. We own it. Not only is it by one of our own and is about us, but it's also one of the great novels of all time and an absolute film classic - and we shouldn't apologize for liking it.
 
WSB means "Welcome South Brother."
 
The Brown Thrasher, the Cherokee Rose, and the Live Oak are our symbols.

Proud, decent, honest people are our heritage.

None are as plentiful as they once were, but none are on the endangered list, either.
 
The best barbecue in the world is served at Old Hickory House in Tucker, but Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson ain't far behind.
The best seafood is at Williams in Savannah and the best catfish is at Henderson's in Covington.
The best sausage is at Stripling's in Crisp County.

The best fried chicken in the world is served at my mama's house, Grits is groceries and sugar doesn't belong in cornbread.

God intended for iced tea to be served sweet.
 
And lastly, Georgia ain't exactly heaven-but it will do until I get there.

"The best seafood is at Williams in Savannah and the best catfish is at Henderson's in Covington."

Southern lobster sucks, it tastes like mud. For REAL seafood you need to come to New England, we've been doing it right for about 500 years.
And tomatoes don't go in chowder FU#K Manhatten

PegLeg,
Quite some impressive Georgians.  Michigan has the likes of Modonna, Michael Moore, Eminm, and Tom Hayden.  Gladly trade all four and probably a few others for one of the Georgians you mentioned.  Actually there are far more celebraties than I knew born in Michigan or have connections to MI.  http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/list/celebrity-categories.asp?FD=birthplace&ID=Michigan
You can't have Ted Nugent, but I think he moved to Texas.
James Earl Jones wasn't born here but grew up here.  He got his start in community theater in Manistee and is frequently in the area.  Also recently found out he was ROTC and premed at U of M.  He also went to Ranger school and earned his Ranger tab.

Didn't say they were 'perfect'.....just beloved.   


By the way, my neighbor had a poodle that killed a 9' gator ...............................

Got stuck in it's throat and choked it to death.

You're forgetting Gerald Ford and the Amway guys.

I think he was planning on including the Amway guys.

Didn't forget about these folks.  So accustomed to the good ones that don't always think to include them.  The Amways guys are big community supporters.  There is also the Meijer family from Grand Rapids that has the Meijer's chain of stores.  Not on the same level as Target or WM, or as big as Amway,  but this family does a lot for the community and some of the colleges in the area.  You walk down the halls of Hope College in Holland, MI and see the thank you for the contribution plaques and it's a who's who in Michigan.

I was mostly focusing on the ones that I wish were not associated with MI.

Kind of funny, but for the most part in MI the left coast is the Right coast.  Now if we could just get something done with the Detriot part of the state, MI would be a whole differant story.
