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', a lways 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 becau se 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 Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys 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

A rant (cont'd) About time people take the "spirit" of the law into their own hands rather than standing idly by while the Wall St. "money changers" loot America of its basic values and strip the "spirit" of law of its very lifeblood. These Wall St. pikers, now in control of "American democracy" play only one game and that is to manouevre under their "satanical" legal priciples, any "chips" you have on your side of the table into the bank on their side of the table. Once one understands the game (again to take your chips, no matter the guise: $14B relief of Bank Assets, Health Care, forced caccinations, cap and trade) everything is stripped of complication. These pikers have no moral compass or they'd have taken their lumps without asking for a $14T handout to cover off their assinine "bets" that resulted in their "toxic"(now to the taxpayer) assets. The values supporting thier bailout of $800B and relief of the $14 Trillion in toxic assets did not exemplify the values that made America great, rather the values that are tearing down America. Wherever you are, you know what's right and wrong...and what's going on with the incestuous Congress/Fed/Wall St. marriage over the past while is nothing short of politiKing, nothing short of looting any remaining underpinnings of freedom and democracy! It's the 11th hour to be sure, but not too late to turn these pikers out to the real "spirit" of law practitioners, to those whose palms aren't greased by Wall St., to the American individual who doesn't need to hide behind an unecessarily complicated legal system, to the American individual who has an innate appreciation of what is right and wrong, unfettered by legalese and Chinese walls. The idea of one vote to one individual has been usurped. The Wall St./Fed/Congress cabal has lost any and all idea of any notion of one vote for every individual...otherwise they'd poll the populace on internet to garner just how out of touch they are with the American individual who is far enough away from Washington to avoid be stripped of values of right and wrong.
