May I rip this Letter Apart?

I found this letter, and I decided that it needed to be ripped apart. My thoughts are in Italics.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
By Lou Pritchett
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.
President Obama wrote an autobiography. Biographies have been written about him. His policies are clearly outlined on whitehouse.gov and barackobama.com. All you have to do to learn about President Obama is to read, Lou.
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.
President Obama worked as a State Senator and taught law at Chicago University. Michelle was also a lawyer. President Obama also made a lot of money on speaking engagements after the 2004 Democratic National Convention, at which he gave a moving key-not address. President Obama worked hard and fulfilled the American dream.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
President Obama spent his High School years going to Punahou Academy in Hawaii. The teenage years are often the most formative.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
So what?
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
See my earlier post comparing the military judgement of John McCain and Barack Obama.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
Not humble? He is more above-the-fray than anyone in politics. He stayed out of the trenches. He doesn't attack others on unfair ground. He is always polite, especially during the debates of the 2008 election. He is humble in dealing with other countries- he reached out to Iran.
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.
President Obama was in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church. Obama was a member there. But he said that he disagreed with what Wright preached. As for the terrorist William Ayers, Obama sat on a board with him. The President never said that he agreed with what Ayers did or preached.
