    "WE NOTICED"

    President Obama:

    Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a National Service Day.

    Sir, it's time we had a talk.........

    During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken.

    You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.

    YES, "We noticed."

    During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended to visit all 57 states. We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.

    YES, "We noticed."

    When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.

    YES, "We noticed."

    Every time you apologized to other countries for America's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.

    YES, "We noticed."

    When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America" and said that 9/11 was “ America's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.

    YES, "We noticed."

    When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.

    YES, "We noticed."

    All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect or affection for this country and her traditions.

    YES, "We noticed."

    You are nine months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.

    YES, "We noticed."

    We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled "un-American", "racist". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.

    YES, "We noticed."

    On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans...

    And YES, "We noticed."

    There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In nine months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.

    YES, "We noticed."

    September 11th is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace.

    YES, "We noticed."

    You have made a mockery of our Cons ution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.

    YES, "We noticed."

    We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office. Take notice.

    Failure is not falling down, but refusing to get up."

    People trying to convince others of their ultimate fall aren't actually trying to convince others.

    These were pretty funny

    YES, "We noticed."
    The OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference) actually has 60 "states" with 3 being observers. Nice stretch.

    When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.

    YES, "We noticed."
    Hold on hold on I gotta get something to write with. Ok write this down....bending over in Japan = bad. Bending over to toss a flower = good. Ok, I think I've got it down.

    Every time you apologized to other countries for America's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.

    YES, "We noticed."
    IPOD BE DAMNED!!!!

    Maybe he said he'd change it because we were (and still are) in the throws of the worst economic situation in generations. Dunno, just a guess.

    All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them.
    Harriet Myers.
    Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect or affection for this country and her traditions.

    YES, "We noticed."
    I like to read minds too. Are we sure Glenn Beck didn't write this?

    You are nine months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you.
    Such as? Any board republicans wanna answer this one?
    You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.

    YES, "We noticed."
    I guess Ms. Hackett is an economist.


    On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans...

    And YES, "We noticed."
    Como say what?

    There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In nine months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.

    YES, "We noticed."
    Sounds familiar...

    September 11th is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace.

    YES, "We noticed."
    She's mad because he wants to make 9-11 a day when people help other people. SATAN!!!

    You have made a mockery of our Cons ution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.

    YES, "We noticed."
    I wonder where this broad was a couple years ago.

    We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office. Take notice.

    There is no point in trying to respond to this. My mother always taught me it was unsportsmanlike to agree to a battle of wits with the unarmed.

    Why is it bad to make September 11 a day of national service? Wouldn't focus on serving each other bring Americans together? Why is it an unfitting memorial?

    Because the Anti-Christ came up with the idea.

    I'm just answering. The right considers a national day of service to be a bad thing because it was Obama's idea. These people are obstructionists. Some of them really believe he's the Anti-Christ. That's all there is to it.

    It is a shame when a good idea is shot down because of the person presenting it.

    9/11 would be the perfect day to offer service. As terrible as the actions were, the country was never more unified. I went and donated blood the evening of the attacks. I had friends and family that gathered to put together care packages, donated canned food and money to assist those that were there and the families.

    9/11 was as much about Americans pulling together in a common cause through tragedy then it was the terrorist attacks. The sad part has been what has happened since the few weeks after 9/11.

    9/11 is a day of failure, of defeat, of dereliction of duty by the Repug Exec to defend the country on its own territory.

    Commemorate those killed, but no National Service Day.

    btw, 3000 murdered by OBL really is a drop in the bucket to the 10s of 1000s of Americans murdered by Americans since 9/11.

    Nice touch. This could easily be an Obama quote.

    I also don't think having a criminal trial for KSM is a good idea -- I don't care WHO came up with it. That doesn't mean I'm an obstructionist.

    I don't think it's a good idea either. Plenty of your ideological cohorts buy into the idea that a national day of service is a bad thing. Your ilk circulates smear letters that brag about it.

    I really do hate all this bipartisan rhetoric...

    What I do find odd is Obama's reluctance to back some of our long-standing policies in the name of convenience. I was shocked yesterday to hear that he turned his back on the people of Taiwan. That he had relinquished our long-standing policy to back their sovereignty, and basically told Communist China... we will no longer be in the way... or hold diplomatic reservations about your intent to do away with their Democratic government.

    Furthermore... I don't care who you are... why anyone would refuse to honor the Pledge of Allegiance, is beyond me... especially as an elected official of this nation... (No one can justify Obama's actions on this one...)

    That happened long ago.

    if it's not true, then why doesn't OBL come forth and dispute what Mrs. Hackett says? I'm not saying it's true, but I do find it curious that OBL remains silent on these very issues.
