dear president obama,
as one of the millions who did not vote for you, i write tonight to give you my support. i will simply ask you to do your best for the american people and for our country you've been given stewardship over. i will not hope that you fail. i will not celebrate every mistake or stumble along the way. i will try not to blame you for any setbacks that we encounter that are not your fault. i will lend you my support as an american, and hope and pray that you protect and preserve the american way of life, which is to celebrate and foster imagination, innovation, individuality and most of all, hard work. i am proud to be an american, and proud of the example we set as a nation. while we are not perfect, we are founded on a philosophy that is — one that should be respected and protected both at home and abroad. president obama, i hope that you love this country as much as its leader should. i pray that you will reflect this perfect philosophy brightly to the rest of the world, and realize our great responsibilities as a leader among nations.

beautifully stated. you should send that to him...really.
i can't help but feel a little bit of pride in the election results. it was historic, and should be celebrated. this shows just how far we have come as a nation, and hopefully pres. elect obama will not lead us down the path to destruction as predicted by so many, but pull us out of crisis and make us a stronger nation.
You are a beautiful writer!!!! I could never have said it so elequently (I'm sure I spelled this wrong) I rest my case!
Amen :) Well said and beautifully put Olivia!

Wow. That was just...wow. Watching the news over the past few days I have felt exactly the same way. We really are lucky to be witnesses to such an amazing historical event, and my prayers will definitely be with President Obama.
