Stop Paddling And Start Rocking The Boat

Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America’s true living legends.

And he’s now trying to tell Americans why he fears Barak Obama

* A common definition used for “change management” is a set of processes that is employed to ensure that significant changes are implemented in an orderly, controlled and systematic fashion to effect organizational change. One of the goals of change management is with regards to the human aspects of overcoming resistance to change in order for organizational members to buy into change and achieve the organization’s goal of an orderly and effective transformation.

Lou Pritchett changed the way America did business by creating a bold new concept that came to be known as "partnering".

He rose from being a soap salesman, to Vice-President of Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, he made corporate history.

Lou Pritchett sent the following letter to the NY Times, that unsurprisingly wouldn’t publish it.

But since the letter hit the Internet it’s already had half a million hits, and more and more people will be reading it every day.

And I hope that you’ll be one of them!

BTW – this is not a hoax letter and you can check out its validity at snopes.com

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’, 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.

And 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.

The organization where Sen. Barack Obama worked as a community organizer and lawyer, the ‘Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now’ better known as ‘Acorn’, is now under investigation in several States for suspected voter registration fraud.

And this latest wave of ACORN inquiries is providing Republicans a new line of attack to use against the Democratic presidential nominee and particularly because he represented ACORN in a lawsuit in the 1990s.

A member of Sen. John McCain’s campaign wrote in a memo on Friday, “Given ACORN’s recent efforts to engage in voter fraud and to disrupt our political system, Obama’s affiliation with this group raises serious questions about his judgment and ability to lead this nation”.

Nevada is the latest in a string of States to take action against Acorn and investigators raided the group’s state headquarters on Tuesday. The Nevada branch submitted voter registration forms carrying the names of celebrities such as Tony Romo and Terrell Owens, who are both members of the Dallas Cowboys and many members of the general public announced that they had been asked by ACORN employees to submit multiple registration forms.
Obama’s campaign has so far paid ‘Citizens Services Inc.’ which is an ACORN subsidiary about $800,000 for services rendered and ACORN endorsed Obama during the Democratic primaries.

Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt said on a McCain campaign conference call on Friday, “Sen. Obama’s ties with ACORN go back a long way. Before he launched his political career in the home of Bill Ayers, he was fighting alongside ACORN. He acted as their lawyer. He has taught classes to ACORN liberal community organizers”.

Republicans are also attempting to link Acorn to the current financial crisis and a McCain campaign employee posted a video on the Internet on Friday that accuses ACORN of “bullying banks and forcing them to issue risky home loans. The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we’re in today”

The House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), whose home state has also discovered irregular ACORN registration forms, said on Thursday, “I believe we are witnessing a national trend that must be fully investigated to protect the sanctity of our elections”.

Obama campaign officials have rejected the McCain camp’s charges and labeled them as an attempt to “turn the page from the issues that matter to American families”.

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement, “Barack Obama strongly condemns voter registration fraud or any other breach of election law by any party or group. The McCain campaign’s allegations about Sen. Obama are completely transparent and false”.
