Dear President Barack H. Obama:

On this your first day as President of the United States of America, I just wanted to say thank you for taking upon the task of leading this country. Like so many before you, achieving the position of the leader of the Free World is no easy task; handling the job will not be any easier. While I did not vote for you and do not agree with your policies, as a citizen of this country, I will accept you as my President and will give you the respect you deserve and the benefit of the doubt that you will have the peoples best interest in mind. This, however, does not mean you will be free from criticism. As an American citizen, it is my job to make sure I point out that which I think does not have the people’s best interest in mind (Bush was held by the same standards by everyone else) in the most biased way possible. As the sayings go:

“He who is free from sin cast the first stone”

and

“To err is human”

As the President of this country, you wouldn’t expect anything less from us. Many of your policies I do not agree with, but am willing give a try for I have to believe your intentions are good, though you know what they say about the road to hell. Still, I said I would give you the benefit of the doubt. The next 4 years will definitely be history in the making and I will hope for the best (and expect the worst).

May history show good things during your Administration for it’s in the best interest of me, my family and the people of this country and may your life as a President be decent, comfortable and safe.

Yours truly

A humble American citizen.
