Dear Editor,
It’s not surprising that the
Chronicle endorses the slick TV personalities and money generators [“
'Chronicle' Endorsements,” News, Oct. 17]. You’d be well advised to vote the exact opposite of the
Chronicle's recommendations. Recently, court papers have been filed with Philadelphia’s Federal Court in efforts to obtain Obama’s place of birth history. Apparently, there is a question surrounding Obama’s citizenship. Funny, this type of important news doesn’t seem to get the same widespread attention as his basketball playing. Yet, because of his good looks, smooth talking, celebrity endorsement, and campaign for “change,” most citizens are not questioning his huge (unknown) financial contributors, his recent tour abroad, or even his lineage to this country. The elitists and the naive have fallen in love and lost their minds, and the rest of us are going to suffer because of it. Obama will change the direction of this country all right, as is evident in the dictator propaganda – which so closely resembles dictatorships of the past – littering the streets, local businesses, and airways. Furthermore, it is wholly inappropriate to have local elected officials holding public picnics in his honor in support of his campaign. There should always remain a clear separation of government between the local and federal levels. Illegal immigrants and those who choose not to learn English should not be entitled to vote in U.S. elections, especially at the federal level. Our democracy has become muddled. This is contributing to our current political/corporate/monetary mess. We certainly need change, but be assured, Obama is not the change we need. More than likely, our country is in for big surprises, new direction, and a new world order. Best to get ready.
