Charlie Daniels Pens Open Letter to President Obama-Authorship Confirmed! Charlie Daniels Pens Open Letter to President Obama- Authorship Confirmed! Summar of eRumor: Charlie Daniels wrote a scathing open letter to President Obama that has gone viral. The Truth: This one is true. Charlie Daniels wrote an open letter to President Obama that appeared on the musician’s official website on June 8, 2015. In the letter, Daniels says that Obama has little faith in American ingenuity, American capability, American exceptionalism and American patriotism. It continues: You seem to think that America needs a monolithic, big brother type government to oversee and regulate every aspect of American life, that citizens are not competent to control their own affairs and make their own decisions without some oppressive bureaucracy to call the shots. Mr. President, the answer is not government, conversely, the problem is government. A government that has doubled the national debt, increased unemployment, lowered take home pay, increased food stamp participation and disability claims and introduced socialized medicine. You support teacher’s unions which take political activism more seriously than education. You intentionally lied to the American people about your stand on marriage being between a man and woman, and continue to lie when it is politically expedient for you to do so. You surround yourself with inexperienced ideologues and political yes men and take the advice of individuals who are swimming in waters way too deep for them. Your petulance is unbecoming, Mr. President, and your criticism of anyone who disagrees with you is downright unmanly. You come off like a spoiled child who has been denied his way. This isn’t the first time that Charlie Daniels took a public political stand, either. Daniels blasted the Hollywood bunch that didn’t support the war in Iraq in 2003. In that open letter , Daniels wrote: Ok, let’s just say for a moment you bunch of pampered, overpaid, unrealistic children had your way and the U.S.A. didn’t go into Iraq. Let’s say that you really get your way and we destroy all our nuclear weapons and stick daisies in our gun barrels and sit around with some white wine and cheese and pat ourselves on the back, so proud of what we’ve done for world peace. Let’s say that we cut the military budget to just enough to keep the National Guard on hand to help out with floods and fires. Let’s say that we close down our military bases all over the world and bring the troops home, increase our foreign aid and drop all the trade sanctions against everybody. I suppose that in your fantasy world this would create a utopian world where everybody would live in peace. After all, the great monster, the United States of America, the cause of all the world’s trouble would have disbanded it’s horrible military and certainly all the other countries of the world would follow suit. After all, they only arm themselves to defend their countries from the mean old U.S.A. Why you bunch of pitiful, hypocritical, idiotic, spoiled mugwumps. Get your head out of the sand and smell the Trade Towers burning. Do you think that a trip to Iraq by Sean Penn did anything but encourage a wanton murderer to think that the people of the U.S.A. didn’t have the nerve or the guts to fight him? Barbara Streisand’s fanatical and hateful rankings about George Bush make about as much sense as Michael Jackson hanging a baby over a railing. You people need to get out of Hollywood once in a while and get out into the real world. You1d be surprised at the hostility you would find out here. Posted in Politics
