Sorry about length.....Please pass it on. Drop it on other blogs, I've hit some, but let's keep it moving. Thanks Steve

This letter written to Obama, is so well written, it may even make some of

> I am so glad this eloquent letter is circulating..... please help keep it
> going.

> Dear Mr. Obama,
> My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50 something conservative white male. I have
> followed your campaign closely, including the speeches you and others made
> at the democratic national convention. I am respectfully providing you
> with
> seven simple (probably shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I
> believe my opinion is shared by many people. While there may not be quite
> enough to prevent you from becoming president of this nation, I do think
> there is an awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that
> the
> media and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you.
> 1. I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long
> term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your running mate.
> This
> is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you
> supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah
> Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a
> maverick who cleaned-up Alaska 's quagmire of political scandals. Which
> way
> is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the
> mantra of 'change', but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart,
> aggressive, reformer?
> 2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the senate. This
> indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an angry
> black
> man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different generation. I am
> not racist. I have some biases just like you and every other human alive.
> Unlike the Democratic Party who claims to be for the minority (but their
> record heavily refutes this), I will give any person who truly needs help,
> help. I married a 'minority' girl 35 years ago (she is Hispanic) and have
> seen the evils of prejudice first hand. However, I have also seen my wife
> and my children and others in her family throw off the veil of self
> imposed
> prejudicial bondage and move ahead. They love our country and do not view
> themselves any different than I view myself as a citizen of this country.
> Your lovely wife so disappointed people like me during this campaign when
> she stated it was the first time she had ever been proud of this country.
> She apparently never noticed the massive aid we give dozens of other
> countries. She apparently never noticed the sacrifice of literally
> millions
> of veterans who helped make this country a free nation and helped liberate
> other nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf Hitler. She apparently
> does not remember that she attended Ivy League universities with
> scholarship
> money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid for by our taxes.
> This
> troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black woman who appears to
> not like her country very much. I don't want her representing me to the
> rest
> of the world.
> 3. You claim Christianity but apparently do not realize that the Bible
> teaches that he, who does not work, does not eat. The Bible does not say
> or
> even suggest that he, who CANNOT work, should not eat. Yet, your liberal
> policies reward people who are capable of working, but choose to not do
> so.
> This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes will spiral
> upwards. You should heed the words of Winston Churchill: 'We contend that
> for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing
> in
> a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.' If I like anything
> about you, it is your campaign promise to balance the federal budget.
> Unfortunately, we have heard this a huge number of times from a number of
> different politicians and we realize that when you energize the very
> liberal
> Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc, etc, and the many other
> democrats like them, a balanced budget will never, ever happen on your
> watch. (Remember also Obama said in his book 'Audacity of Hope', ''I
> will
> stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly
> direction''..... Remember those are HIS words not mine. What better place
> for the Muslins to control our country, than in the office of the
> President
> of USA .)
> 4. During your question and answer session with Rick Warren of Saddleback
> Church your answer concerning the question of where does life begin,
> stunned
> me: 'Above your pay grade?' Does this mean when something bad happens as
> President of this nation that you are going to look at your salary to
> determine if you can respond? I am sorry, but this was the most serious
> gaffe I have seen you make. Frankly, it shows me that you are pandering in
> the most obvious manner. You will choose your words not from your heart,
> but
> from an agenda that I believe is still hidden from the American people.
> 5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your appeasement
> mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and with the
> latest stunt pulled by the re-energized Russian government, I am not sure
> appeasement is healthy. I again revert to the words of Winston Churchill:
> 'An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.'
> 6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14 year old girl must
> have the parents' approval to have the school nurse provide them with a
> Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can
> become
> pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the child
> in
> her body without the parents knowing or being notified. This scares the
> hell
> out of me. You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this happened
> to
> them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes
> no
> sense to me.
> 7. My seventh and final point (for now) is your supporters. I have watched
> the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically embrace Hugo
> Chavez of Venezuela and others like him. I see the continuous smut and
> garbage produced by Hollywood, the very people who promote you the most
> vigorously. It is not a positive point to me and others like me to see
> these
> over-paid, bizarre, poor examples of human existence fawn over you and
> push
> you and your liberal agenda as hard as they do. The way I see it; when the
> devil is for you, we should question whether or not we should be against
> you.
> In closing, I just want you to know that you scare me. I cannot vote for
> you. It is not because of your skin color. It is because these items I've
> listed and many, many others like them. Do not claim that my dislike for
> you
> is race based. It is because I do not feel you have the best interests of
> this nation at heart.
> Respectfully,

> Mark A. Gregg
