If this is not presidential, I don't know what is! Poetic and meditative.

I like that you left so much room to the right. Had I not known who he is, I would have thought he was a famous violinist, or poet, or director of film. You kidding me, a politician?!

I know! He is the posterboy for stoicism.

Dear Grizzly Lightning:

My name is Kareem D. Jenkins, Director of Conventions & Meetings for the American Sociological Association. We are organizing a number of convention sessions around the significance of the Obama election. I saw your image "0815 obama-sh" and thought it would be a wonderful compliment to our website and some of our printed materials.

I wondered if you might be interested in granting permission for the image to be used in these mediums? We are an academic non-profit association with limited funds for licensing fees; however photo credit would be associated with the image. Please feel free to contact me at 202-247-9848 (jenkins@asanet.org). Many thanks -- Kareem

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.

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 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.
