Congratulations, President Obama
October 9, 2009 | brea, California | Vetting explained
Dear President Obama,
It is always easy to accept our failures but it is far more difficult to accept our successes. The same selection process was utilized to select you as was utilized to select those who came before you. I applaud your efforts, although many have not yet been realized. The world has acknowledged and accepted you and thus the stigma of being the "ugly Americans" has changed. Peace could never have been contemplated without this change. You have opened a door once closed. Embrace your greatness. Congratulations!
Carol R. Menke
an American who is a moderate republican, who did not vote for you.
