Hi America...one of my daughters forwarded this to me and I couldn't resist posting it as it is so true. While I was debating my response to President Obama and his State of the Union address, it came to me...this is it.
My name is not John but I am 63. I was looking forward to full retirement in 2 more years and now I am beginning to question the security of everything that for the last 45 years I worked and paid social security and medicare taxes....bull shit...I am well past the questioning stage.
President Obama you are going on national television just to lie to the American people one more time. I will watch this dreaded event only to get the talking points all your clones in the media will be using for the next couple of weeks....meanwhile..you have your campaign experts helping to figure out how to jam health care.
Mr. Obama, notice the change people, now I am into wishful thinking, alot of people say you are a progressive (read: socialist/totalitarian) and that you are moving at a deliberate speed on purpose and that you have this weird assed agenda because you have feelings and empathy for the down trodden people, not just in America, but across the globe. Give me a break dude, okay, head dude in charge! (Psst!, if you sense a hint of disrespect...you haven't earned any respect yet...you get that the old fashioned way...EARN IT!). You intend to bust this country and run that sorry assed globe.
America, now is not the time to be asking who are these nasty influences that seem to surround our President. These nasty influences are there at his behest...this is his secret government, his czardom! Now is the time to find a legal means to oust this man from office...we do this now before his claws are too far in and we can win by cutting off the head of this glib narcissist....if we stand by idly...then we will have to take care of the whole beast maybe a finger or a foot at a time...much messier.
Wednesday night Obama will lie about jobs. I hope he is smart enough not to mention Serious Manufacturing (Window Manufacturer) with whom he is having an incestuous affair and to whom he intends to send our orders for the energy efficient windows his EPA brown shirt 'swat teams' will install in our homes, on our dime. Serious business people...brand new near Pittsburgh or in Pittsburgh...also the company owner's wife works for Obama in the EPA as the weatherization czar-ette. Mr. Obama, quit your spending and taxing...quit your job busting health care push and cap & trade bs. No one trusts you...that is why no one is lending and no one is hiring...straight scoop dude.
Mr. Obama, I would at least have liked to have been able to say you are nothing more than a one term president....but honestly, sir, I do not want to even look down that dark, dark alley.
3 More years, oh crap.
This should be required reading for our families!!
Subject: Letter from Grandpa - priceless
John G. is 63 years old and owns a small business. He's a life-long Republican and sees his dream of retiring next year has all but evaporated. With the stock market crashing and new taxes coming his way, John assumes now that he will work to his dying day.
John has a granddaughter. Ashley is a recent college grad. She drives a flashy hybrid car, wears all the latest fashions, and loves to go out to nightclubs and restaurants. Ashley campaigned hard for Barack Obama. After the election she made sure her grandfather (and all other Republican family members) received a big I told-you-so earful on how the world is going to be a much better place now that her party is taking over.
Having lost both roommates, Ashley recently ran short of cash and cannot pay the rent (again) on her 3 bedroom townhouse. Like she has done many times in the past, she e-mailed her grandfather asking for some financial help.
Here is his reply:
Sweetheart,
I received your request for assistance.
Ashley, you know I love you dearly and I 'm sympathetic to your financial plight. Unfortunately, times have changed. With the election of President Obama, your grandmother and I have had to set forth a bold new economic plan of our own..."The Ashley Economic Empowerment Plan." Let me explain.
Your grandmother and I are life-long, wage-earning tax payers. We have lived a comfortable life, as you know, but we have never had the fancier things like European vacations, luxury cars, etc. We have worked hard and were looking forward to retiring soon. But the plan has changed. Your president is raising our personal and business taxes significantly. He says it is so he can give our hard earned money to other people. Do you know what this means, Ashley? It means less for us, and we must cut back on many business and personal expenses. You know the wonderful receptionist who worked in my office for more than 23 years? The one who always gave you candy when you came over to visit? I had to let her go last week. I can't afford to pay her salary and all of the government mandated taxes that go with having employees. Your grandmother will now work 4 days a week to answer phones, take orders and handle the books. We will be closed on Fridays and will lose even more income to the Wal-Mart.
I'm also very sorry to report that your cousin Frank will no longer be working summers in the warehouse. I called him at school this morning. He already knows about it and he's upset because he will have to give up skydiving and his yearly trip to Greenland to survey the polar bears.
That's just the business side of things. Some personal economic effects of Obama's new taxation policies include none other than you. You know very well that over the years your grandmother and I have given you thousands of dollars in cash, tuition assistance, food, housing, clothing, gifts, etc., etc. But by your vote, you have chosen to help others -- not at your expense -- but at our expense.
If you need money now sweetheart, I recommend you call 202-456-1111. That is the direct phone number for the White House. You yourself told me how foolish it is to vote Republican. You said Mr. Obama is going to be the People's President, and is going to help every American live a better life.
Based on everything you've told me, along with all the promises we heard during the campaign, I'm sure Mr. Obama will be happy to transfer some stimulus money into your bank account. Have him call me for the account number which I memorized years ago..
Perhaps you can now understand what I've been saying all my life: those who vote for a president should consider the impact on the nation as a whole, and not be just concerned with what they can get for themselves. What Obama supporters don't seem to realize is all of the money he is redistributing to illegal aliens and non-taxpaying Americans (the so-called "less fortunate") comes from tax-paying families.
Remember how you told me, "Only the richest of the rich will be affected"?
Well guess what, honey? Because we own a business, your grandmother and I are now considered to be the richest of the rich. On paper, it might look that way, but in the real world, we are far from it.
As you said while campaigning for Obama, some people will have to carry more of the burden so all of America can prosper. You understand what that means, right? It means that raising taxes on productive people results in them having less money; less money for everything, including granddaughters.
I'm sorry, Ashley, but the well has run dry. The free lunches are over. I have no money to give you now. So, congratulations on your choice for "change." For future reference, I encourage you to try and add up the total value of the gifts and cash you have received from us, just since you went off to college, and compare it to what you expect to get from Mr. Obama over the next 4 (or 8) years. I have not kept track of it, Ashley. It has all truly been the gift of our hearts.
Remember, we love you dearly....but from now on you'll need to call the number mentioned above. Your "Savior" has the money we would have given to you. Just try and get it from him.
Good luck, sweetheart.
Love,
Grandpa

Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him
the White House based on the same credentials." - - Newt Gingrich
