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."  He  rose from soap salesman to 
Vice President,  Sales and Customer Development for Proctor and 
Gamble and, over the course of 36  years, made corporate history.
The letter to  follow 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.
AN OPEN LETTER FROM LOU  PRITCHETT, PROCTOR & GAMBLE EXECUTIVE, 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

 [Regarding Michigan State police saying that they only take info off cell phones with the permission of the driver.  I warn you - when you willingly submit to such search and seizure, even because you are afraid to confront the police, that will be considered "consent".]  Popular Mechanics gives this important warning: The Ohio Supreme Court held that a cellphone is analogous to a closed  container and cannot be searched without a separate warrant—and that’s  for a search where someone has actually been arrested for a crime, not  mere snooping during a traffic stop. 
Without an arrest, search requires probable cause—the officer must have some reasonable basis for believing that a crime has been committed, and that a particular search will turn up evidence relevant to that crime. It’s hard to see how cellphone data could be relevant to a traffic stop. Instead, searching cellphones looks more like a fishing expedition: Having gotten access to you with a traffic stop, officers are just looking around to see what they find. That’s explicitly forbidden by the Constitution, and with good reason. Letting government officials snoop on anyone they choose, for no particular reason, is a bad idea.
If you consent to a search, however, all bets are off. It’s hard to see why anyone would do so: If you’re a criminal, you’ve got something to hide; and if you’re not a criminal, why would you want to let the police paw through your email? And remember that when you consent to have your smartphone searched, you’re also giving up data on all your contacts, who haven’t consented. The legal ramifications to that have yet to be worked out. [Be bold! Refuse to do so, respectfully, without a warrant.]

American Thinker writes: For over two years, I   have been privy to private investigators' files, have seen private   investigations of other private investigations, have done my own   research -- and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are two   crucial problems with President Obama's life documents.  First, the   registration number on Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" (which, as   Trump recently explained to an incredulous Meredith Vieira, is not a   long form birth certificate) is out of sequence to other birth   certificates issued on the very next day in Hawaii to a pair of twins   named Nordyke (certifications of live birth and birth certificates carry   the same registration number). [There is on the internet a photo of  the "real" birth certificate - from Kenya - with the footprint and the  raised seal.  It looks legitimate.  I have not written about all this  before, but since

Second, according to a private  investigator,  Susan Daniels, whose work was validated by at least two  other  investigators I'm aware of, the Social Security  number that Obama used for  approximately 25 years was issued with a  Connecticut-based number,  though neither Obama nor anyone in his family  lived in that state at any  point during their lifetimes.  Bill  O'Reilly claimed on his April 14,  2011, show that Obama's father,  Barack Obama Sr., lived in Connecticut  "for several years", but when I  called O'Reilly for verification of his  source(s), I was put into a  voicemail and received no return call. As of  this writing, it appears  that O'Reilly's Mailbag Segment on Obama's  Social Security number has  been scrubbed by Fox News from the podcast of the show, along with some viewer mail on the   subject.  [When  O'Reilly said  this, I noted that I had never heard it before, and I've  done a  lot of  research on the subject. He also said that when Obama  went to Pakistan when it was forbidden for Americans to do so, he did it  from India, I believe.  Now who can believe this when O'Reilly is now  untrustworthy?  We need to see the citizenship listed on that Passport  which we are not allowed to see. I also believe O'Reilly is in Obama's  camp, for he has  consistently given him all the leeway he can manage to  give.  O'Reilly  also said on his show (another lie) that George Bush  never got the  approval of Congress prior to going into Iraq.  Take him  with a grain of  salt.) 
So it appears Obama Sr. had  nothing to do  with the application for Obama's Social Security number,  as Mr.  O'Reilly suggested. But then again, this is the same O'Reilly who   also announced on his April 14th show that, although  Obama's  birth certificate has not been made public, Hawaii  officials  have it on file. This about-face conflicts with his 2008  statement that  he'd actually seen the birth certificate and  that's how he  knows Obama is legitimate. "We have a copy of it," he  said at the time.  (NB: such a possession would have been illegal.)  
Because of the  irregularities  and unanswered questions outlined above, certainly the  American people  have a right to know whether the birth record that  supposedly  establishes the eligibility of their president is un-tampered  with.   And they also have a right to know whether the social security  number  that he has been using is genuinely his or stolen.  Use of  another  person's social security number is a felony.  Carol A.
