Obama delivered promised change

Mr. President, over 52 percent of our citizens elected you as our leader. Not quite two years into your presidency, I have to express my sincere and frustrated feelings about fellow Americans not coming out to express disgust with the short-sighted anger, lies and distorted statements about you and your leadership.

I remember you stating that change would not be easy. You got that right. But most important you promised change at all levels of the Washington bureaucracy.

You kept your promise. It is so real that we can't let you and your administration down.

To your credit, we have seen change come to many areas of our country's major economic components. The auto and health industry, Wall Street, banking, credit cards, insurance and unemployment extended. Not to mention your leadership with your various decisions for world peace and ability to negotiate with world leaders.

I hope you and our readers will agree that you are the reason we can be proud to have a great family man as our president. Money is scarce, but I am sending you $100 to say, “Yes, we can.”
